Great phone with great memory
Great phone with large memory. So far very happy with the phone and how it works. Quick, no issues with loading apps and using the phone, great camera and long battery life. My only issue and this is not just for this phone but all smart phone and all phone manufactures is the price is highway robbery. Charging a cash price (or a subsidized price - you're still paying for the full cost but just over a 2 year period so no savings...I know, shocking...LOL) of $900-$1000+ for a phone is just is just insane. Phones at this point should not be this expensive, you can't justify it (especially when these phones are made in foreign sweat shops and they cost at best a maybe $200 to make).

Samsung S10e great
Clear pictures, fast speed, great size. Was able to buy it on sale at a decent price. Very happy with this phone. Lots of storage and has a micro SD slot to expand your memory.

Solid phone, but still needs work per
I purchased the Galaxy S10+ as an upgrade for a first-gen Pixel XL. I was hesitant to change back to a Samsung, because my experience with Samsung (and Verizon) bloatware is that it bogs down the phone in spite of excellent hardware capabilities. That's not the case with the S10+. It's a solid phone and the new OneUI is snappy and responsive. Pros: It's a beautiful device. The screen is outstanding, giving a beautiful picture with deep blacks, crisp colours, and bright whites. The hole-punch camera is a great upgrade from the notch, and disappears into the screen even when watching video. The UI is very responsive and the bloatware is minimal and easy to disable. Integrated features are easy to use, easy to access, and feel intuitive. I use samsung peripherals -- galaxy watch active, galaxy earbuds, and the samsung smart things hub in my home -- and all of these interact seamlessly with the phone, with each other, and with connected devices. Call quality is great. Sound quality from the phone is excellent. Gestures for accessing menus and sumsung pay are fluid. The edge screen is actually useful and not just the gimmick that it was years ago. Bixby routines are super handy. Like, really really handy. Set triggers based on time, location, opening certain apps, or attaching to certain devices/wifi sources and your phone automates settings like wifi, bluetooth, screen brightness, orientation, volume. It'll run my smart devices with no effort: if I snooze too much, the lights in the bedroom come on, the music goes full blast, and the coffee pot starts brewing automatically. Multiple routines can run at once. You set it up and forget it. It's brilliant and almost makes up for bixby itself being ... well, we'll get to that below. Cons: The fingerprint reader is awful. If I'd known how bad, I might not have picked this phone. If it were just the screen unlock it would be alright, but I use biometrics for banking, my password manager, and multiple types of two-factor authentication. It fails to read 70% of the time and in the case of 2FA apps, can often lock me out from too many attempts. You can work around this by programming the same finger in multiple times, which helps, but with a limit of 4 fingerprints, this exchanges versatility for base functionality. (And with the same thumb programmed in 4 times, I still get "no match" about 20% of the time). I expect this will be fixed with software updates, but right now it's incredibly frustrating. There's only one option for a function screen protector (the whitestone glass dome is the ONLY one that works with the fingerprint scanner.) The volume and power buttons on the phone are inconveniently placed and generally require two hands to operate. Bixby is trash, and while it can be remapped -- it can't be remapped to google assistant or Alexa without a third party app that is NOT on google play. (This means turning on the ability to install third party apps, potentially opening your phone to malware.) The remapping is also only partial -- the dedicated button works on a single or double press. Bixby is always one of those options, but you can choose which one, and map the other option to a different (non-assitant) app. Adding insult to injury, the Bixby button is the only button conveniently located, so while I have to use two hands to adjust the volume, I'm constantly accidentally summoning an assistant that's anything but helpful. While on the subject of Bixby: the dedicated right-swipe Bixby home screen is equally useless, loaded with advertisements, and can't be changed. Google Now is incredible, intuitive, and the best summary news/event/calendar/task page out there. I really really want to right-swipe and see it. Samsung, please.... Bixby is like Fetch... stop trying to make it happen. Bixby is not going to happen. Give me my google integration and I promise I'll be loyal forever. TL;DR: As usual, samsung does what it does best, but it also still does what it does worst. The S10+ is amazing hardware with incredible features, but muddied with an insistence on sub-par Samsung software. Microsoft realized that Windows is better when you can disable internet explorer and use Chrome. Samsung needs to give the same versatility to their launcher and everybody will be happy. Oh, and fix the fingerprint reader. We know you can.

Great phone
I researched for a long time before I decided to upgrade to this phone. I had a phone that was 4 years old and pretty much on it's last legs and barely any battery life but I didn't want to pick just any new phone, I wanted a phone that would fit my needs and not break the budget. The S10e takes great pictures, connects to all my bluetooth devices, doesn't lag and most importantly can last all day without putting it on battery save. I take my phone off the charger at 7am and at midnight I think the lowest I have been is 35%, this is with me having hour long conversations, checking emails, texting, going on social media (including snapchat, which would drain my old phone's battery) and watching YouTube videos. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and I got it while bestbuy was having a sale so it was $100 off the original price.

Great phone
I upgraded to the s10e from an s6. Obviously, the phone is drastically faster than I was used to. I don't use my phone for much - a couple games, texting, phone calls, music for runs. This more than does the job for me. There are a LOT of random features and gimmicks on the phone, most of which I turned off because they were unnecessary, but for those that like them, they're there, and those that don't, it's simple to turn them off. Humorously, I had gone into Best Buy intending to buy the regular s10, but when I talked to an employee about it and how I use the phone, she basically called me an idiot (in a nice way!) for spending more on fancy phone when the s10e would do everything I use a phone for for $150 less. She was very convincing, so I got the s10e and couldn't be happier. If you want a better and fancier camera, go with the s10. If you don't care about super fancy pictures (the s10e takes perfectly fine pictures on its own!), than the s10e is definitely the better option.
