Take these shots inside a bar, for example. The Pixel 3 delivers a balanced photo with minimal noise, good white balance and sharp details. And almost none of those qualities came through in the S10e's attempt. I could live with most of the S10e's shortcomings here, but the yellow cast that pervades the frame is far too off-putting to make the image usable without some editing.

Although Samsung's new Android interface, called OneUI, is quite a striking departure from the look and feel of the software on Samsung's older Galaxy handsets from the TouchWiz era. This is definitely a good thing. However, we were disappointed with the positioning of the front camera , which can obstruct the view in some applications . The photo module is located in the upper left corner. This element causes blurring in the field of view in full screen mode. This detail is particularly annoying for gamers (especially PUBG fans who don't have a full view of their fellow players), but also for film and video fans. With Netflix, however, the module is out of range on the screen. Even in full-screen mode, making the platform's video format a much more enjoyable experience.. The 5.8-inch AMOLED display lives up to the Galaxy S name, with bright colors and crisp detail. If you don’t quite like the color balance, you can tinker with an easy fix called Vivid Mode, which does what it says on the box and lets you further tweak it to be a warmer (more red) or cooler (more blue) picture. If even that isn’t enough, you can tinker with the RGB levels individually. As previously stated, one of the Galaxy S10e’s more attractive features might, ironically, be its smaller size. As main flagships get ever-larger, a contingent of consumers have steadily gone for smaller phones – just look at the popularity of the iPhone SE (RIP) - and the S10e is as manageable as top-tier phones get with a width of 2.75 inches. (Curiously, the iPhone XS is the smallest of its generation, and the S10e is smaller than that phone by a hair.)The S10e can also be quite a colorful phone, if you want it to be. There's a rainbow of Galaxy S10 Colors available, from vivacious Flamingo Pink to the stunning, pearl-like Prism White of our review unit. However, in true Apple fashion, the cheapest version of the S10 line gets some exclusive livelier flavors as well, like the invigorating Canary Yellow and the opulent Prism Green (neither of which is available for U.S. customers, unfortunately).

A similar story played out when we photographed a box of cupcakes. The S10e's food Scene Optimizer mode boosted the exposure and warmth of the scene far beyond what was necessary. The iPhone XS' attempt is simply more grounded in reality and also more precise, especially as you peer into the details, like the icing's texture. I've only ever used a Samsung smart phone, starting with the G4, so I cannot tell you how it compares to an iphone, as people tend to stay with things that are familiar to them... like brands of cars or other technical devices. The selling feature to me was: I was familiar with the general operation, it was the same size as my previous model.... which I became accustomed to using... and has a huge storage capacity, even on the standard 128gb model..and the speed in which it connects to the internet or retrieves for internal storage, is VERY fast. And Charging is so easy... just set it on the charging disc .... and it even tells you how much longer it will take to charge to 100%. The Electrostatic Fingerprint Scanner on the side of the Galaxy S10e keeps your phone and information secure. In one simple move, you can access everything in an instant while holding your phone naturally. Capture with pro-grade tool set made for masters: Control your camera settings with Pro-Video Mode to adjust the exposure, focus and more to bring your creative vision to life Still, the S10e isn't perfect. In a pinch I'd turn to the cameras in the Pixel 4, iPhone XS or iPhone XR every time.Battery life on the S10e is good, I should say as good as (if not better than) the Note 10 plus 5G.
