It’s interesting how much buzz the S10E has, yet there aren’t many videos about battery life, camera performance, screen quality, etc.
I really want to see a Snapdragon 855 speed test vs the XS and battery comparison between both phones. Forget the XR, it’s too compromising to be compared to the S10E imo.

Probably got to wait until the pre-orders start shipping to see those comparison videos.
Not trolling brah. Just my opinion. Sorry it rubbed you the wrong way. Carry on
The battery life is the main thing that has me nervous about the 5.8" form factor. My cell signal is awful and I am hoping the Qualcomm modem in the S10E can compensate a bit more. I think the battery life ought to be good though.
Will come with factory installed screen protectors, pretty smart move until makers can get screen protectors working with the new fingerprint sensors.
Regarding the S10/S10+ factory pre-installed screen protector
12:37
Samsung’s upcoming new flagship Galaxy S10 will be shipped with factory pre-installed screen protector manufactured by Samsung. This is applicable for all global subsidiaries and for all variants of Galaxy S10. This decision was made to increase overall customer experiences with the improved screen durability and full functionality of the Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor on Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+.
The factory pre-installed screen protector will be covered by 90 days warranty; other in box accessories will remain under regular 1 year warranty (including Travel Adapter, USB Connector and AKG headset).
To ensure the full functionality of the Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor on Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+, Samsung strongly encourage our carrier and retail partners to carry Samsung branded screen protector as the replacement purchase option in stores. We cannot guarantee the experiences with screen protectors made of traditional glass and polyurethane materials. Samsung’s replacement screen protector is available for all Galaxy S10 variants with MSRP of $29.99.

If you read my post, I said traditionally that was a problem on Samsung phones but that it appears to be fixed on these devices.

Wow free air buds and that = near $300 here, Apple would never do anything like that.
Whats your current solution ? and how do you think it will be hard with S10 ?
Currently i buy those small round stickers and cover the front camera.
With s10 it will be hard because there is no bezel to stick to. S10's front cam position makes it hard too.

People should be allowed to voice their opinion. That wasn't a troll.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. No sane in person in their office out of billions of people in the world, would be interested in watching you 24/7 walking your dog or whatever. I'm assuming you don't do that with an iPhone?
Everyone to their own I guess. It's funny how people care about privacy and security but totally ignore precautions. Its extremely easy to hack a phone's camera and when someone hacks my phone I dont want them to follow me everywhere.
But, regretablly most phone users just don't care but then they complain why their phone is overheating, lagging, stuttering and call quality drops. These are signs that indicate your phone is hacked.
[doublepost=1551144942][/doublepost]Few years ago my phone was hacked and seriously I went mad. Both my front and back cams started taking pictures silently.
Many times found camera turned on without me touching it. Battery started draining and so on....
As soon as installed Bitdefender and AVG anti virus everything was solved.

And in 6 months people will be saying the exact same thing about the S10 and going to whatever iPhone / iOS 13 combination is being released. It happens every single year.
Uh, no.
iOS 13 will look like iOS 12, which looked like iOS 11, so on and so forth since iOS 7. And even that's no different than iOS from 2008.
The home screen still looks like someone left the app drawer open permanently. And it's 2019, and twelve years later now you still can't move and place an app icon anywhere you want on the screen. F iOS.
I'm not much of a Samsung fan but no new Samsung will look dated next to a new iPhone.
Sarcasm / jk. Well not totally, but mostly.

Sounds more like you have some pent up anger than anything else. Just calling it as I see it, and have read over the years in the forum. But hey, to each their own.
You do know I'm half being a smart-ass joker here.
But really iOS looks no freaking different than it did 12 years ago turn on an iPhone XS Max or turn on an iPhone 5 or an iPhone 3g, I can't even tell the difference. App drawer left permently open with lame icons, that haven't changed in design maybe once in iOS 7 ?
Different strokes, for different folks, I say.
I do think Apple makes the best hardware out of anyone, and designs a beautifully crafted piece of art for their phones. But the software is pure ****
IPhone hardware are third party parts.
Ok..... time to inspect s10+ in 5 minutes for frst time can't wait. Will decide if s9+ is staying or going.
Ok so I just got back from Best Buy checking out the s10+. My initial impressions are as follows:
Physically the phone is light and materially unimpressive, save except for the front glass screen. Honestly, this phone aesthetically speaking is not the iPhone equal. Everything but the screen felt cheap. If that's metal on the sides, then it must be very cheap metal cause it feels like plastic. I would say the Galaxy Note line is more materially and
aesthetically close to the iPhones than the S series. It honestly felt cheap, except the screen if I'm being honest.
One UI is not as smooth as iOS. YouTube takes like half a second to rotate. As much as I watch You Tube and go back and forth between portrait and landscape that would drive me nuts.
One UI gestures pale in comparison to iOS. Ex. When you bring up multitask you have to use the home gesture to exit that function; you can't just tap off anywhere like iOS. Pulling down twice on the notification center seems counter intuitive to me as well. Also, Android is still choppy; especially noticed coming from an iPhone.
I don't see how anyone who is into
aesthetics could possibly even think about picking galaxy s10 over iPhone. It's like Fischer Price vs Tonka.
Split screen was nice to play with and so was pop out window. Of course the Always On Display was present and added a nice touch. I can also confirm the phone does have tap to wake.
In closing I see why several reviewers said the phone seems light... Cause it feels like plastic. Again, I hope the s10 succeeds and does well, but no way am I giving up dual sim, buttery smooth iOS, stainless steel, and the best supported phone on the planet for this galaxy iteration. Maybe next year Samsung.
To get out in front... These are MY OPINIONS and there's no disrespect intended. I feel the way I feel and that's all there is to it.
Thanks for reading!!!

You seem like criticizing the way Android works based on your biased opinions against the iPhone. The S line feeling cheaper than the Note series? The are made from the exact same materials as their generation. I'm not sure if I take your review serious or not but iPhone isn't made of any magical metal. Metal is metal, ceramic is ceramic. Nothing that had been coming from Samsung since the Note 3 has had "cheap" written on it.
