Reasons why the Galaxy S10E is better than the iPhone XR

Last week Samsung introduced five new smartphones, including the Galaxy S10E budget model. With a $750 price tag, the Galaxy S10E is the new iPhone XR challenger, which has an identical prize price. But the Galaxy S10E is better than the iPhone XR, and more importantly, it’s more important for Samsung than the iPhone XR for Apple.

It is unknown whether Apple will launch a successor to the iPhone XR in 2019. But if it does, it should learn from Samsung.

Reasons why Galaxy S10E is better than the iPhone XR

1. Most people compare the Galaxy S10E with the Apple iPhone XR because they have the same price. But in many ways the Galaxy S10E looks more like an Apple iPhone XS version of Samsung but 250 dollars cheaper.
2. The Galaxy S10E is identical to the $1,000 iPhone XS model. Both phones have 5.8-inch OLED displays that produce sharp, colorful images.
3. Apple’s $750 dollar phone has an LCD screen which is not that good.
4. The Galaxy S10E and the iPhone XS have two rear cameras while the iPhone XR is just one.
5. The Galaxy S10E does not have the Face ID technology. On the contrary, there is a traditional fingerprint sensor on the start side button.
6. Galaxy S10E can be one of the best-produced Samsung phones in that size. Although lacking the triple camera system, the under-screen fingerprint scanner, and the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus curved display, is considerably cheaper.
7. The iPhone XR is bigger than the iPhone XS but smaller than the iPhone XS Max. But it’s inferior to them.
8. As Apple has sacrificed on screen quality and rear cameras, the iPhone XR is not the best phone in its category.
9. Absolutely Apple phones have a lot of general advantages compared to the Galaxy S10. Apple’s ecosystem, iOS stability, frequent security updates make iPhone an intriguing solution. But Samsung is also closing this gap.
10. Galaxy S10E is what the iPhone XR should have been. The smallest, most affordable and the best phone in its category.
11. iPhone XR would have been more popular if it were introduced as the smallest version of the iPhone XS. But it’s hard to choose the iPhone XR in front of the iPhone XS because of its distinct quality on the screen
12. The new Galaxy phones are easier to understand from a consumer perspective. Each phone has an OLED screen, but they differ with each other because of a more camera. For every step in the size of the phone, note a small step in quality.
13. Apple iPhone line has the weakest result in recent years due to the confusion created by the iPhone XR, a sizeable phone between the iPhone XS and XS Max but inferior.

However, Apple remains the standard for hardware, software and services integration. Samsung and others are growing steadily. Perhaps Apple should learn from rivals such as Samsung’s latest case before bringing the 2019 iPhone.
