This version of S10 is considered to be the budget version among the new Galaxy line-up, although the phone by no stretch of imagination can be considered in the budget category. With its 5.8-inch screen, this S10e is slightly smaller than the rest of S10 line-up and also has a smaller-capacity 3,100-mAh battery. It features a dual rear camera set-up and similar to the Galaxy S10, a single front-facing shooter displayed through the punch-hole display with a fingerprint scanner on the power button.
