In a nutshell, if my experience with the Samsung Galaxy S10 is anything to go by, I`d say that the device deserves more attention than it`s getting.

In a nutshell, if my experience with the Samsung Galaxy S10 is anything to go by, I`d say that the device deserves more attention than it`s getting. But in the end, everything boils down to the price, and that`s where things become muddy. You see, the Galaxy S10 is priced at Rs 66,900, and this year, with the release of an affordable variant in the form of the S10e, one can get a similar flagship experience for Rs 55,900. Then there`s the top-of-the-hill S10+, which carries a price tag of Rs 73,900. What`s not helping the S10`s case is the competition. And while one can ignore the Pixel 3 XL (review) as even though it`s the perfect pocket shooter, Google`s offering isn`t an all-round smartphone, it`s difficult to not mention the soon-to-be-launched Huawei P30 Pro (first impressions). With quad rear cameras and top-notch specs, it`ll give a tough challenge to the S10 trio, though we don`t know its pricing as of now. But if you`re dead-set on buying a Samsung flagship this year, then this is how I`ll break down the choices: the S10e is the most affordable, but if you want to buy it, then buy it for its compact size, for you would need to compromise on certain aspects such as dual rear cameras instead of a triple-camera setup and a smaller battery. The S10+ on the other hand, is a great smartphone, though it might be too large for some, and it`s priced on the higher side too. That leaves us with the Galaxy S10, which sits perfectly in the middle and even though it misses out on the secondary depth camera on the front and is powered by a 3,400mAh cell (instead of the 4,100mAh battery powering its bigger sibling), it does deliver a powerful flagship experience.
