Samsung Galaxy S10e (SM-G970)

Phone only in great condition with minimal signs of wear.

The S10e is a budget-friendly alternative to the S10e for those that may not need all the bells and whistles that came with the original Samsung Galaxy S10.

Screen Size Differences - S10e vs S10

If screen size isn't at the top of the list in terms of what you value, you can save money by sacrificing the 6.1" AMOLED+ screen with 1200 dpi for a 5.8" Dynamic AMOLED+ with 438 dpi. This may seem like alot, but it still does present an improvement over the previous Galaxy S9 release.

Lifetime IMEI guarantee against blacklist, one year warranty against defects - physical or liquid damage not included.

 Camera Quality Differences - S10e vs S10

Another area where you'll be sacrificing when going for the S10e, is the rear camera. The S10 offers 2 x optical zoom, which is something the budget model has cut out. This may seem like a big issue, but if camera quality is of significant importance to you we'd recommend the standard Galaxy S20 series phone. The front camera itself has not changed, and is very similar to the S9 - albeit a bit better at 10MP vs 8MP.

CPU, GPU and Speed - How Does The S10e Compare?

Where the S10e offers the most is in its speed and internal specs. The S10 offers a Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855 chipset and an Octa-core CPU which is the same as the S10e. 

At the end of the day, the Galaxy S10e is a great budget smartphone for customers that want to use a phone in the standard S Series lineup without giving up any speed or significant cosmetic features.
