Anybody has Samsung S10?

Any comments, recommendations?

Is S10 really worth more than S10e? I do not care for camera performance.

Compare Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite vs. Samsung Galaxy S10e vs. Samsung Galaxy S10.

I would personally choose the device with the minimal requirements you might be looking for.

Sure, some will entice you with better graphics, memory, etc, etc, but if you find you're not really needing that, why bother.

One way to look at it is today's devices are likely only gonna last 1-3 years so they're no longer the devices of the past.

One of my older models looked like this - virtually indestructible and battery lasted forever. I owned it for almost 10 years!!!

Thank you S--S. I visited many comparison sites. That is not the point of my question.

I would like to hear REAL experience from REAL people having and using this phone(s) on a daily basis.

I hear you!!!!

If you need phone for basic communication/SMS then old fashioned flip phone is most likely the best choice. And correct, battery last(ed) forever.

But as more and more companies/services develop apps, if you want to use them, you need smart phone.

Just found Wealthsimple's app has more features than their Web page. And those features are really important.

@Meow , main difference between the 2 phones is the form factor.. screen and size

Camera is different but you don't mind

Battery is slightly smaller with S10e. But since the screen is smaller, so, it offset the disadvantage (you expect very similar battery time out of it)

Processor is the same so performance wide would be same

Fingerprint sensor setup is different,

Again, sorry, I don't use S10 myself. But I would say since the main thing, processor is the same, you would not notice any difference performance wide. So, it would be down to your personal preference with the difference is size, ARE YOU OK with the screen.

I like a bigger screen, so if price is not a factor, I would choose S10

Offers on kijiji are from $300 to $450 for 'mint' or 'excellent condition'. Some come with screen protector and otter case... And there is not much difference in price between S10 and S10e. Decisions, decisions...

Miss the good old days with these flip phones!!!

I am glad it is making a comeback. Just waiting for another 2 or 3 generations for the technology to mature and price to come further down.. will probably go back to Flip then..

That old Audiovox 8610 device was unbelievable for calling (not so much for texting...). And if I forgot my charging cord for a multi-day excursion - no worries, it was still usable throughout the many days away.

The voice quality is unmatched to this day through the several devices (Blackberry, 3 Androids, & an iPhone) I've owned/used since.

And the reason you don't want to buy from pm for $399 - $30=$369 for a guaranteed not stolen phone with a one year warranty?

@Anonymous : I was completely loyal to the old BB OS10 for the few years it was around. But alas. So that leaves Android or iOS. Knowing Apple since Apple became Apple and never liking how they went about their business...that left Android. Although I dabbled with a Windows phone as my "data" line until I got a dual-SIM phone. Another dead OS. There are lots of Android devices out there. Samsung is just one manufacturer. Google is another. I still have a perfectly functioning S7. My now year old A31 is still working perfectly fine.

@Anonymous @softech

yeah your right but is still depends by user experience,, and some user not like Apple or another brand depends by user which one like it, but why i like Apple is never going slow,

and when i buy it two iphone 7 and 8 plus and 2 for XR, and now looking for 2 iphone 13 when i found nice deals and all iphoen never going slow,, but befroe with another brand too many issue and when i call to support under warranty the say that not cover by warranty is bad of big manufacturer, but my friend has a Apple Signal issue just we go to store support the testing and the take an give them brand new for free because under warranty with 11 month of use that why i buy it only Apple and so sorry for other member not like what i say but that user experience...
