- What's up guys, Saf here on SuperSaf TV and,
we finally have the Samsung Galaxy S10e in the house
I know it's a little bit delayed,
but couldn't get hold of this early here in the UK
it was just on release date,
which is today,
but anyway, let's give it the SuperSaf unboxing treatment
and get straight to it.
Right, so on the box we have the S10e logo
and it is in this sort of yellow color
and that's because we've got the canary yellow,
now the canary yellow is unique to the S10e,
the other colors are available on the S10 and the S10+
as well but this is quite unique,
so hopefully you haven't seen a
canary yellow unboxing as yet.
And what does the e stand for?
Well as far as I'm aware it stands for essential
and that's because you've got all of the essentials
of the S10 in this smaller and cheaper package.
This starts at around 670 pounds here in the UK,
or around 750 dollars in the US,
which is pretty good in my opinion for what you're getting,
comes with a base of 128 gigabytes of storage.
Right, so lets get ahead and get it outside of the box.
Ooh, so we actually have like an inner box
in the top half, and the phone is here.
Ooh, oh.
That is bright.
Very, very bright.
Okay, we're going to leave that to the side for just a second
while we see what else we get inside the box.
There's a sim card eject tool,
there's some paperwork,
there's a fast charger,
a USB type A to USB type C cable,
and then we've got a few adaptors,
this is USB type A to USB type C,
and then we've got micro USB to USB type C,
so these are going to be useful to use your previous
cables and also for data transfer and things like that
and then we've got some AKG earphones and these
are operated with a 3.5mm connector,
because the S10e as with the other S10's has a 3.5mm jack.
Woohoo.
Now getting to the phone this thing has a very very striking
yellow color, lets get rid of the back plastic.
I kind of do like it but I'm going to be sitting a dBrand
skin onto this and currently loving the black swan
which looks so dope,
and that's going to give us a combination of black and yellow.
(Wiz Khalifa, Black and Yellow plays)
so if you want to pick up a skin from our
channel sponsor dBrand,
I'm going to be leaving a link to them
in the description below.
There's currently 20% off all skins.
Now we've got a metal frame which is in this sort of
gold color which does match the yellow at the back,
and I got to say it feels very premium in the hand and
because the edges are also curved in,
it's quite comfortable and
the first impression straight away is that this
is so so compact,
it kind of like fits nicely in my hand anyway,
and that's because we've got a 5.8 inch display on here,
as opposed to the larger displays
on the S10 and the S10+.
And not only is the display smaller compared to the
S10 and the S10+,
it's also got a flat display whereas we've got curved
displays on the others.
We've had curved displays on the Galaxy S devices
for the past couple of years now so it's great
that Samsung are bringing back a flat display,
because I know a lot of people who prefer flat displays.
Curved displays look super super sexy but
not everybody finds them practical or useful,
so I'm glad that they now do have this option,
its a beautiful display, we've got minimal bezels,
and say that they are a little bit thicker compared
to the S10 and S10+,
and then we've got that punch out.
With the front facing camera,
Samsung once again has the wallpaper darker
towards the top right hand corner so you don't notice
it as much and I have to say,
I'm not really minding the punch outs on the S10+
after using it for a couple of weeks,
it's something that you sort of kind of forget
because it is tucked away in the corner.
Now for the display you do have dynamic AMOLED technology,
I've already been on record to say that the S10+
has the best mobile display on the market right now,
and this is also really really nice,
however you don't get the same resolution,
you've got full HD plus on here,
whereas you've got quad HD plus on the S10 and S10+,
but I got to say it still looks absolutely beautiful and
it's still very very crisp because of the small
screen size, you're not really losing out on too much
on too much PPI pixel density.
Now one other thing with the S10e is you do get
a pre applied screen protector.
Samsung don't usually do this but it's great
that we do have one included,
it's a plastic screen protector.
Now my S10+ did also have a plastic screen protector
but it actually had a cutout for the
ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
This is not the case here because we don't have
an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the S10e.
Now this punch out camera at the front is the
same as what we've got on the S10 and the S10+,
which is 10 megapixels, with an f1.9 aperture,
however you don't get the secondary depth camera
that you also get on the S10+.
Now this is something that I'm definitely interested in,
how much of an effect is that going to have on
live focus from the front facing camera,
I'll definitely let you guys know,
I think the S10+ does an absolutely great job
at edge detection, one of the best out there,
and I do think that's thanks to that depth camera,
it will be interesting to see how this performs.
As with the other models you do get 4K UHD video recording
from the front facing camera,
so if you're somebody into vlogging,
the S10e is still going to be great option.
Now the fingerprint scanner isn't within the display
so where is it,
well its here on the right hand side of the power button,
now I do think its a little bit high up,
but because the device is quite compact
and easy to use in one hand,
you can reach it pretty easily,
you just have to give it a quick tap and
it's going to unlock for you,
you can either do this from the lock screen or
when you just press the button from when the device
is off it's straight away going to let you in,
and I got to say it's super fast,
it is actually faster compared to the
ultrasonic fingerprint scanner,
but that is one of the compromises you have to make
with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner,
because it is on the display,
so something that you guys might actually prefer
this quicker fingerprint scanner here on the right
hand side of the S10e as opposed to what we've got
on the S10 and the S10+.
On the left hand side there's the volume rocker,
and the Bixby button.
Now the good news is this year, if you don't like Bixby,
you can remap this, so a single press is going to maybe like
open the camera or another app.
You can't get it to open Google Assistant however,
so that's something to bear in mind,
but it is nice that you've got more options this year.
At the bottom there is a 3.5mm jack as I mentioned earlier,
there's a USB type C port,
there is a bottom firing speaker,
we've got another front firing speaker in the earpiece,
at the top there is a sim card tray,
now as well as your sim card there is space
here for a micro-SD card so you can expand the storage
in this and it already comes with a base of 128 gigabytes
with 6 gigabytes of RAM,
there's also another option available with
8 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage,
so storage should really not be a problem here
on the S10e.
Now lets take a look at the back.
Now this is where we've got another big difference
compared to the S10 and S10+.
And that's because the S10e has two cameras
as opposed to three.
The primary camera is 12 megapixels and it has
a variable aperture so it's going to switch between
f1.5 and f2.4 depending on the light in your scene,
it's got optical image stabilization,
dual-pixel autofocus, all of the good stuff,
now the secondary camera, this is quite interesting,
because traditionally for a secondary camera
Samsung has always opted for a telephoto camera,
where it's going to give you two times optical zoom,
not here on the S10e,
you have that amazing 16 megapixels ultra-wide camera.
Now I absolutely love this on the S10+,
it's probably been one of my favorite things on the phone.
And I'm so so glad Samsung have opted for the
ultra wide rather than the telephoto here on the secondary
camera of the S10e.
It's got an f2.2 aperture and if you do buy the S10e,
I'm pretty sure you're going to be super happy
with this ultra wide.
The only thing that you're missing out on
is that telephoto camera which you get on the
S10 and the S10+.
It might not be a big deal for a lot of people.
We still have IP 68 water and dust resistance,
and internally this is either powered by
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor,
or Samsung's Exynos 9820,
this is going to vary depending on your region.
I've only had a chance to test out the Exynos version
so far, I'm hoping to get hold of a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 version,
and if you do want to see some comparisons of
the Exynos versus the Snapdragon definitely let me know
in the comments below.
Software wise we do have one UI.
And I've really been liking one UI,
its very clean and it's also very smooth and it's
very very easy to use with one hand,
so for instance, I'm here in my notifications,
I can just swipe down to bring everything down,
so I can swipe down anywhere and it just makes things
so much more reachable,
if I go into messaging, then once again I have
this header here so I can reach everything here
with my thumb,
and this is more so the case with the S10e because
of its overall smaller size.
For the battery it's 3100mAH which is a pretty
decent size for this phone.
We've got wireless charging 2.0,
which is pretty fast,
but we've also got wireless powershare,
this is where you can use your S10e to charge
other cheat enabled devices.
And there we have it guys,
that is the S10e, finally in the house,
I'm so excited to test this out more.
What videos would you like me to do with the S10e,
definitely let me know in the comments below,
