Short answer – obviously perspective ridden.

The other day, out of the blue, I decided to get an S10e for myself. I have been quite keen about it ever since its launch but wanted to hold onto the purchase until the yellow one arrives in my country.

One thing led to another and I ended up buying this. Now, the other reason for my decision on buying it after it arrives here is my ex-daily driver. The Asus zenfone 5z, which I bought last July. What had me hooked was its memory management and the performance of its 6GB and SD845. Only discontent, the lack of an IP rating.

Anyway, the kinda huge 6.3 inch screen and the bright LCD panel are praiseworthy. I am not in need of a 2K screen. And my benchmark hereon is PubG mobile. Yeah, most of my ideas here revolve around PubG.

Waiting a few weeks for the season 8 update, I was given the gift of extreme frame-rate. Honestly, if ultra the graphics mode is enabled I will be sold.

The IP rating has come in handy many a time, rain and underwater photography. The Exynos 9820 isn’t as good as the SD855 but I do see the difference in performance. The excellent black AMOLED options, the night mode and the bounty of one UI features feels very nice.

RAM is constantly 50% filled if not more. The game mode doesnt pack as many features as the zenfone but it tries hard. You can’t record screen on the fly, but the Samsung Good Lock suite provides an alternative. Speaking of the Goodlock, it has the ability to carry the One UI prowess on its shoulders. The plentiful options in goodlock is not to be missed.

As I said in the beginning, this is perspective ridden. Smaller screen, IP rating, slightly more powerful processor is what you will get after the migration. And yeah, a lighter pocket too.
