I love it. I mean, I can't compare it with anything except the S9 I previously owned, but I've been visiting various national parks around Ireland this week and have taken some amazing shots, particularly with the wide angle lens.

My wife also has one and loves the camera too.

Share your pics

Have an upgrade available. Can get the s10e for 99 euro or I see that I can get the s9plus for the same .

Anybody upgrade from s9 to S10 and notice a major difference

Who had the S10+ for the same price as the S10e?

Read the post again. S10e or S9+ for €99

Ah yes. I'd be getting the 10e at that rate then.

Ya was thinking the same. I personally Can't justify the price of the S10 and S10+ but the e looks like a quality phone.

So I'm after going for the s10e

I got my 10e on Wednesday evening, it's replacing a Nokia 8.

I had compared the two side by size in a shop for size before buying but probably not closely enough. Even if the 10e is classified as a 5.8" screen and the Nokia as a 5.3" screen the 19:9 vs. 16:9 screen ratio means that the 10e is considerably narrower than the 8 and with similar font sizes sentences fall over sooner and the 10e only displays a similar or marginally smaller amount of info than the Nokia, rather than the small increase I was expecting. My mistake.

The upside is that the form factor of the 10e makes it more comfortable for carrying in my jeans pocket.

I installed Rootless launcher straightaway and set up the phone so that the feel is very similar to stock android and arranged almost everything the same as I had on the Nokia. I have Google app to the left of the home screen rather than bixby. Stuck with Samsung's phone and camera apps.

On Thursday evening I followed XDA's guide for optimising battery life. I uninstalled or disabled all the apps that I could do easily from settings but still need to go back and follow their guide for disabling apps that can't be disabled directly in settings.

On Thursday on the first charge and before being optimised I had 4hrs 45mins SOT 100% to 18% over a 16 hour day.

Optimising seems to have made a decent improvement but I will need to wait a few more days to see how it is really performing.

I have set the phone to run in dark mode in settings and whilst for example Google app is running in dark mode Google News is not. Will have to investigate further what is going on there.

As I would hope to keep this phone for 2 years plus I will be trying to charge it on a 20% - 85% - 20% cycle to reduce battery degradation, it looks like battery consumption will allow that to begin with at least. I have also turned off fast charging in settings to help with degradation.

Face unlock works extremely well except in very low light/darkness and the fingerprint scanner is also much better than that on the Nokia.

I haven't used the camera much yet and not at all in low light but what photos I have taken are of excellent quality. Haven't tried video yet.

Generally very satisfied so far. I am paying €16.95 a month for the phone over 24 months over and above my sim only plan so costing about €405 in total so a good deal I think (I'm in Sweden and with Comviq) although I see that the 10e is down to €609 on Amazon.it so prices are already dropping a fair bit on it.

Anybody know the best deals out there to buy the 10+ out straight.
Seen one on adverts for €789 for the 128gb model. Would that be an ideal place to get them or would anybody recommend anywhere else?

Cheers

Collected my S10 today and it came with a otter case, I see they included a converter for the older type chargers as well.
Any one know were I might pick up another one of these converter so I can use it in the car ?

As anyone removed the screen protector from their s10 + and replaced with a different one? If so which one?

I removed didn't bother replacing it.Not a mark on the screen after 6/8 weeks .

Will the snapdragon version of the s10 be fully operational in Ireland. Will it have all the band's needed. Want to buy 1 but dintvwant the exynos version. If sd Dosent work properly I'll go for something else.

But I wonder if it's a dualsim phone, you can only use two vodafone sims?

They're all unlocked dual Sims on Irish networks apparently.
