Big leap forward for me
I moved from Galaxy S7 edge to a Galaxy 10e, so I'm not sure how valuable my review would be to someone. The S10e is great. Here's a brief punch list of my impressions: Thumbprint reader on the upper right side: Some people say it is not convenient, but I think it is immeasurably better than the front lower reader on the S7 edge. On the S7 edge I have to shift my pinky to hook the bottom edge of the phone so I can re-position my hand and place thumb on the reader, then I have to move back to my normal holding position. On the S10e, my thumb is already in position- no shifting necessary. The S10e reader is much faster and accurate. Face recognition: My S7 edge did not have this feature. I had no idea how convenient face recognition could be! What a time saver! Size: The S10e is smaller than the S7 edge, but the diagonal screen dimension is slightly larger. The screen width of the S10e is slightly narrower than that of the S7 edge. Screen: The S10e has a lower screen resolution than my S7 edge, but I can't say I tell there is a difference to my naked eye. I knew this going in and chose the lower resolution for faster response, lower battery drain, and lower price. One thing I can tell is the difference in the "immersion" factor. The very curved S7 edge screen edges make the image somewhat more "immersive" than the flat screen of the S10e, but this is no big deal for me. The front camera makes a black "hole" in upper right of the display, but this hole does not distract me. Battery: Without using power-hungry apps and only a few "normal" apps, it took 58 hours for the battery to drain from 100% to 5%, which is impressive compared to my S7 edge. Power-hungry apps drain the battery as you expect. I will continue to carry a power bank in my briefcase when traveling just-in-case (or maybe get a battery case) Charging Port: The USB-C on the S10e is a better charging port than the micro-USB on the S7 edge. I bought a pack of micro-USB to USB-C adapters (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYR5F2X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I am using my old charging cables with no problem. Camera: I have only taken a few snapshots with the S10e, so I don't have anything to say. The specs of the S10e camera are better than the specs on the S7 edge camera, so I'm sure all will be fine. Summary: I bought the S10e as a "renewed" item on Amazon, and I am very happy with the phone and the price. After always being 2 to 3 generations behind in phone technology, I finally "caught-up" to the present, and did so at a reasonable price.
