With the Galaxy S10e’s main 12MP + 16MP rear cameras, featuring an ultra-wide lens, you won’t miss that perfect moment or lose a member of the group, either.

Photos and video with one tap: capture multiple images and video all at once, in one tap. Lenses, effects and filters capture the best of every moment, every timeWhen I dismiss a wake up alarm on the s10e it works all other devices the alarm keeps sounding every 5 minutes.

What the whole S10 line has in common, however, is the punch-hole in the top-right corner of the screen, the source of the Samsung-termed ‘Infinity-O’ display. It’s noticeable, like the notches before it, though far less an eyesore than the wider camera tabs found in the likes of the iPhone XS and XS Max. These beefed-up innards translate to an effortlessly speedy experience overall and provide benchmark results that rival the very best in the business. As you can see from the Geekbench 4 single and multi-core CPU tests below, the S10e is just as powerful as its pricier Galaxy-labelled siblings, and manages to stand its ground quite nicely against the Snapdragon 855-powered Xiaomi Mi 9. A similar story played out when we photographed a box of cupcakes. The S10e's food Scene Optimizer mode boosted the exposure and warmth of the scene far beyond what was necessary. The iPhone XS' attempt is simply more grounded in reality and also more precise, especially as you peer into the details, like the icing's texture.

Take these shots inside a bar, for example. The Pixel 3 delivers a balanced photo with minimal noise, good white balance and sharp details. And almost none of those qualities came through in the S10e's attempt. I could live with most of the S10e's shortcomings here, but the yellow cast that pervades the frame is far too off-putting to make the image usable without some editing.

The S10e especially shines when gaming. Playing PUBG Mobile at fully maxed settings was no sweat at all for the phone. Samsung Galaxy S10e: PerformanceThe front camera with a single sensor of 10 MPx allows you to take good quality selfies also. The S10+ version obviously performs much better with a dual sensor for the selfie camera and a flash (white screen). I was able to have a slightly larger keyboard size on the Note 10 plus 5G vs S10e. Makes for less typos/corrections on the larger keyboard.
