The Galaxy S10e is a more affordable option for those who want a Samsung flagship device. Regardless, Samsung managed to minimize the differences between the more expensive Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10e by decreasing the display size and battery capacity, as well as adding one less rear camera.

The Galaxy S10e takes incredible photos with its dual rear 16MP ultra-wide and 12MP wide cameras and its selfies are stunning thanks to the 10MP front-facing camera that’s capable of shooting ultra-steady 4k video. Its 31-hour battery comes with quick-charge which will give you a full battery after just 90 minutes. With specs like these (and more), we feel like the Galaxy S10e puts your money in all the right places.
