I had an iphone 2020 and now I have a galaxy s10e . I like this phone so much.

[AtrocityEquine]

I had this phone for nearly 4 years, before having to trade it in for an S22+ (as part of some plan with ATT, which I regretted due to how limited they were). And honestly? It was the best damn phone I had. It worked like every other of the S10 phones at the time, just no notification-like signal like the other models had. But other than that, it was a great phone. Got it in blue too!

[Omegaretro]

Been looking for a "new" cost effective phone that's compact. Getting one of these seems like a good idea rather than some cheap Chinese phone at the same price point.

[WoutervanTiel]

S10e besr phone ever made, Samsung please make a fan edition of the s10e updated for 2024, keep the jack and rhe sd card!

[openshot]

I owned my s10e since 2019 and im still learning new stuff about that iphone doesnt have. Good phone probably gonna upgrade to sony in a few years

[jcantonelli]

Great phone - the DeX support has been key for me.

[suprxmefire]

This was my most desired phone since it came out

[guesswhothis]

Is the camera on S10e better than the Pixel4a5g?

[Sourpusscandy]

What is the latest version of android this will run? Just bought one factory reconditioned 4.5/5 Bidallies on Ebay. Needed a cheap but good backup phone.

[dharmeshmistry]

I find that the s10e is a better built phone than the s23. The s23 feels hollow but the s10e feels more solid, like the iPhone xs

[jonathandonkor]

How can i customize my gesture to the way yours has become. Only one notification bar at the buttom nu

[jorges]

Typing this on my S10e. Love the phone but my battery drains extremely fast. Looking at the iPhone 13 mini.

[nyxsgaming]

This S10e and Pixel 3 are both on lower prices here in my country with both complete package. Thinking about getting one of them. Which is better in terms of camera? I love small phones especially my hand is quite small. And I more on social media thingy and photography which is better?

[englishseurdutak]

Does this phone support wireless dex mode?

[JerryOhh]

Regarding in temperature guring gaming thay have issue in thermal throttle?

[effrem]

If you side load the Gcam on it is amazing

[swisswis]

I hope i can customize it like in one ui5😭

[alcidesjoaquincardozogamar]

Can somebody with the phone tell me about the batery life, i often go over 5 hs with my actual phone

[englishflowers]

Can you get discord, roblox, spotify and other games on it? on my current samsung phone i can't.

[JimiMckeever]

I am using my old S10e as a media player. Attach a nice USB DAC/AMP or connect a good Bluethoth DAC/Amp and you got yourself a great streaming and MP3 player for $100 with Android 12.
