Had this phone (exynos) for 1.5 years and here is my opinion. Will start with pros:
1.Nice size, feels great in hand and fits in pocket easily.
2.Premium feel built quality.
3.Good performance
4.Flagship features (wireless charging, reverse charging, 4k recording etc..)
5.SD card, headphone jack.
And here are the reasons why I don't own this phone anymore:
1.Terrible battery life. Fast processor and small battery capacity just don't go along.
Used to charge it twice a day. Also recently started dying in cold weather ( go from 40percent to 0).
2.Camera. Photos are great outdoors but: terrible post processing smoothening if there's not enough light./indoors Faces,textures become like paintings. Even using "flash for selfies" made things even worse, washed out. Very disappointed, like using old midrange phone. Also noticeable jitter when record videos.
3.Screen brightness. During sunny day it was difficult to see the screen with maximum brightness.
4. Low in-call volume.
Final rating weak 5.5/10
updated to One ui 3.1, phone is slower on performance with noticeable lag.
Battery Life is worse than ever.
I did a factory reset after android 11 update.
The camera lags when you use it as well.
Its true about samsung slowing their phones down after updates.
This phone used to be a beast when I bought it now Im not happy.

After the last software update the Bluetooth range is really bad. Got down from 20 meter range to about 3 Meter. Not sure how one could fix this issue.
Anonymous, 23 Mar 2021Does your s10e have GCam as well?Well no, I never tried it but I've seen many videos saying how it helps. Has anyone here installed gcam?

the delayed apps could be because the apps are forced to sleep in the battery optimisation setting which doesn't seem work correctly

I used an s10e for about 2-3 weeks now and the back of it already cracked. it's not a big crack, pretty small actually, but just in case you're wanting this phone you should be aware of how sensitive glass is.
It's recommended to get a phone case for glass backs, don't make the same dumb mistake I did and *not* get a case with it.
Updated to android 11. The phone is very laggy with animations turned off. There is stutter here and there. Did a factory reset. The phone is still laggy had to turn on animations at 0.5x.
Battery life is abit better for me but certain apps feels slow or delayed. Hopefully they will fix this with a few minor updates. Im not suprised tho I was warned by a friend that samsung will slow down its phones with a new update so that you are forced to buy the the s20 or s21.
Its a shame as I really like this phone it does everything I need.
