This year's S10e is one of Samsung's rare small-screen youth version market strategy. Compared with S10+ and S10, the S10e lacks a camera. The under-screen fingerprint has been changed to a side fingerprint. The screen resolution is only FHD+, but the colors are richer. There are three colors: charcoal crystal black, white jade, and yellow jade. Is Samsung a benchmark against the iPhone XR?

continues the Note9 design, with dual horizontal cameras, 1200W pixel main camera on the left, 1600W pixel ultra-wide angle on the right, single fill light, and the camera module is slightly raised.
SIM card slot is located on the top of the body, and is designed with or card slot to expand the TF card; the left side of the body is the volume key and the Bixby button; the right side is the power button, which integrates fingerprint recognition; the bottom is a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C, microphone and speaker. This generation of Samsung still continues the previous asymmetric design, with all the holes at the bottom not in a straight line, and the top earpiece and the bottom speaker form a dual speaker, supporting IP68 dust-proof and waterproof.
has excellent feel in the whole machine, and one-hand control is not a problem at all. The only drawback is that the excessive work from the back cover to the middle frame is not very good, and you can feel the obvious cut feel when holding it.
screen
Samsung S10e is equipped with FHD+ level 5.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED, supporting HDR10+ high dynamic range images. There are only two options in the S10e screen mode, namely, bright and natural. In bright mode, you can manually adjust the color temperature and adjust R, G, and B respectively.
distinct
color temperature 7001K, the color coverage is relatively excellent, covering the entire P3 color gamut, and the color accuracy and gray scale performance are relatively average.
Natural
Color temperature 6042K, the color coverage is significantly reduced, the color accuracy and gray scale have improved, but the performance is still not very good.
manual maximum brightness 400nit, full white excitation brightness 735nit, local excitation brightness 1030nit, undoubtedly the top brightness performance, this brightness is absolutely free to cope with all scenes. In general, the S10e screen has a medium-to-high performance, with perfect color gamut coverage and high brightness, but the color accuracy and gray scale performance are relatively average.
performance
Samsung S10e The domestic version uses Snapdragon 855 SoC. We have analyzed the specific performance of this chip in previous articles. Interested students can check "Detailed Explanation of Snapdragon 855 (Part 1)" and "Detailed Explanation of Snapdragon 855 (Part 2)". 6GB LPRRD4x 2133MHz memory, 128GB UFS2.1 flash memory, compare the Xiaomi 9 and iQOO of the same Snapdragon 855 through the running score.

running scores, S10e performs normally, GPU performs quite eye-catching, all running scores are ranked first, and it is not very good at leading. In addition, it can be regarded as the average level of Snapdragon 855. There is no problem in the running score, so let’s see the actual game test below.
game test
or ancestral games: NBA 2K19 and 华3.
NBA 2K19
First look at the NBA's game performance, with an average of 51FPS and an average fluctuation of 3.91FPS, while Xiaomi 9 has full frames throughout the entire process.
Check the SoC scheduling situation, it can be seen that Samsung and Xiaomi are two completely different scheduling methods. Samsung prefers to load large cores. In the game, the large cores have always maintained a high operating frequency. Xiaomi prefers to load medium cores. The large cores are basically catching up.
collapsed 3
15 minutes open world, S10e has an average of 56FPS, an average fluctuation of 3.81FPS, which is slightly better than Xiaomi 9's average of 56FPS and a fluctuation of 6.24FPS.
Let’s take a look at the scheduling situation on both sides. Similar to the NBA, Samsung has priority to load large cores, and all core frequencies are greater than 1GHz, which is a relatively radical type. Xiaomi is more cowardly, and the large core is basically exploring crazy at the edge of low frequency.
Samsung scheduling has advantages for games with high performance requirements, but this scheduling method cannot achieve all its potential on S10e, because the biggest problem it brings is that the heat is huge, and the bezels are simply hot when loaded. The S10e body is relatively small and has poor heat dissipation, which leads to not fully exerting the full strength of Snapdragon 855. The larger body and stronger heat dissipation S10+ will be more suitable for this scheduling method, and the gaming performance should be improved. Please stay tuned for our S10+ review.
Take photos
Turn on the camera's default mode to start taking photos, Samsung turns on HDR and scene optimizer by default, and iPhone turns on automatic HDR by default.

It can be seen that in the daytime situation, Samsung's dynamic range is higher than that of Apple, and most photos are exposed higher than Apple, and the highlight suppression is also excellent. Sample 6 Apple's sky has been completely overexposed, and Samsung can also see the sky and clouds. But sometimes it will use too much force, just like Sample 3, the highlights are almost overexposed, and it doesn't look very natural.

magnifying sample to see resolution , iPhone wins a game in details, whether it is the lines of the building or the texture of trees, the resolution of the iPhone is stronger than Samsung, and Samsung has a heavier smearing feeling, and some details are lost.
SummaryIn terms of daytime, Samsung is in a gorgeous style. Each group of photos has a higher saturation than the iPhone, excellent dynamic range, and slightly weaker than the iPhone in terms of resolution. I prefer Samsung's photo style, not too bright, each one is just right.

The two machines at night are also different. Samsung's highlights are reddish and have high saturation, and the iPhone is relatively dull.

zoom in to see the details, Samsung's adjustment style is very obvious, mainly taking care of the highlight details. In order to keep the highlight details as the overall exposure is low, the details in the highlights beat the iPhone, and the iPhone takes care of the overall exposure. As expected, the highlights are seriously overexposed, but the dark parts beat Samsung.

Samsung's picture is relatively pure, but the disadvantage is that it sacrifices details, the picture is severely smeared, and its resolution at night is not as good as that of iPhone.
summary, Samsung undoubtedly takes the direction of pleasing eyes and has excellent imaging quality. During the day, he showed a strong tolerance and a tendency to hair color, which was so higher than that of an iPhone that he didn't know where he went.
still maintains a very high level at night, has the characteristics of daytime, has high saturation, and has excellent performance in handling highlights and noise reduction. The comprehensive photography level of the S10e is still better than the XR. Whether in terms of imaging quality or gameplay, after all, there is also an ultra-wide-angle secondary camera on the S10e.The ultra-wide performance on

13mm The visual shock effect brought by the focal length is very obvious, and you can see very obvious curves of lines and decreases in resolution at the edges.
Finally, let’s talk about the photography experience
Samsung’s photography interface, various important functions are clear at a glance, and it has the most popular scene recognition at present. Samsung is called a scene optimizer. It will judge different scenes based on the subject and correspond to different optimizations. It has all the functions that should be used, and the photography experience is first-class.
charging battery life
is equipped with a 3100mAh battery. Let’s take a look at the two-hour battery life test of Aigao:
After a two-hour battery life test, the remaining battery life is 80%. This result is relatively average, and the game consumes more power, and it is inevitable for severe users to charge twice a day. Samsung said that although my battery is small, it is fast.
Starting from 5%, use the Lenovo lipstick PD fast charging set to charge. It takes one hour and thirteen minutes to fully charge, and the maximum power is only about 14W. The S10e fast charging level continues to remain in place. Even the iPhone with ten thousand years of environmentally friendly fast charging can get 20W of peak power with PD fast charging. You can imagine how much impact the Note7 incident had on Samsung that year.
Experience
speaker
First of all, I would like to praise the dual speakers of S10e, which supports Dolby Atmos, has a high volume, transparent sound, and has a three-dimensional sense. It is not inferior to the dual speakers of iPhone. It should be noted that when the volume is high, the phone will feel obvious vibration.
WiFi
S10e supports a maximum WiFi speed of 1083Mbps, and the theoretical LAN download speed is 20% faster than most current flagship models with 866Mbps. Of course this is the theoretical value, but you may not be able to use all the performance in actual use.
Power fingerprint two-in-one key
Next I will criticize this power fingerprint two-in-one key. First of all, this fingerprint is really not easy to use. It has a small recognition area and a low recognition rate. The unlocking success rate in normal posture is OK. As long as your hand is slightly tilted, the unlocking failure is basically possible.
and the feedback of the power button are different from the feedback of the volume button. The power button is concave in the middle frame. When taking screenshots, you often press the volume button first and then the power button, which has caused the volume bar to appear on the screenshot screen many times. It is also because of the concave power button, and the presence is insufficient. I have used the Bixby button as the power button several times.
. Summary of
Advantages:
- . The flagship in the true sense is so high that it is not known where it is going.
- flagship configuration. Except for the screen, camera and fingerprint, there is not much difference between the S10, and the S10 has all the functions on it.
Disadvantages:
- fast charging power is low. The fast charging level is still at the QC2.0 level a few years ago, with a peak power of only 14W.
- fingerprint unlocking is difficult to use. The recognition area is small and the unlocking success rate is not high.
After reading the review, you should have a general understanding of S10e. You have a clear idea of whether to buy or not, so I won’t be a shopping guide. The above is all the content of this issue of Samsung S10e review. Thank you for watching it throughout the process.
