hey what's up guys I'm Kip EHD here and welcome to your first look at the Samsung Galaxy S 10 II we don't know what the e stands for yet so I'm just gonna go with economy so there is a video up already at the same exact time on the new Galaxy S 10 and S 10 plus the flagships of the lineup so the links here to watch it or it'll be the first link below but this s 10 e is a new addition to the lineup coming in at a bit of a lower price kind of just like what Apple did in September with their iPhones some people thought Apple's getting a little loose releasing a third phone alongside the other two that maybe get a little confusing but then again Samsung already makes like 10,000 phones so I guess we shouldn't be surprised by this duplication of strategy so if the galaxy s 10 and S 10 plus are perfect matches alongside the iPhone 10s and 10's Mac's which they kind of are then this Galaxy S 10 II is a perfect parallel to the iPhone 10 R and that's starting with the price it is 750 bucks just like the 10r which is definitely again not budget by any means but it is lower than the other flagship phone that's launching with so with that where are you saving your money well the form factor of the s10 II is super similar to the regular s10 as you can see but it cuts some corners literally to save price and that starts with the display which is a bit smaller now it's a 5.8 inch AMOLED display and it's flat now instead of curved so basically the Infinity display on the higher end phones sort of melts gloriously over the sides the s10 has a flat screen meaning it goes mostly edge to edge but it's a little less dramatic matter of fact it's similar to the iPhone 10 R in that the bezels all the way around are just a little bit thicker just a slightly taller chin slightly cut inside bezels it's not problematic at all in fact I think most people would hardly notice but it's just people like me who are pixel peeping that are gonna see that but it's still an over 90 percent screen to body ratio and also just so I don't forget to say it the display on this s10 II while it is slightly lesser than the two higher-end brothers it's still way better than the display Apple put in the iPhone 10 R this was an LCD this was a much lower resolution the display on the s10 II is still a 500 plus pixel per inch AMOLED display so it's got the same characteristics the same hole punch but it's just a slightly lesser than the older brother's anyway another one of the big new features of the s10 was of course the ultrasonic fingerprint reader underneath the display glass that's pretty high-end expensive tech s10 II doesn't have that instead it actually uses a traditional fingerprint reader and it's in the power button on the right hand side this is probably the best backup location to put it in I usually prefer on the back of phones just because that's where my finger naturally rests but the power button is also great because you're often pressing that button anyway and your finger usually rests there too so then the last major trade off of the Galaxy S 10 II is just like the iPhone 10 are removing one of the cameras so the bigger brother has an extra camera the galaxy s 10 just got triple cameras which means the galaxy s 10 II now has dual cameras so it shares the same high-end dual aperture primary camera and it also keeps the ultra wide so it doesn't have the telephoto camera anymore which i think is great because most people rarely intentionally use the telephoto camera anyway and then on paper with the specs they even did what Apple did with the SOC and the rim iPhone 10 are had the same chip but a little bit less ram so here comes galaxy s10 II it has also the same Snapdragon 85 like its brothers but it starts with six gigs of RAM instead of eight but again you can upgrade to get a version with more RAM and more storage if you want to spend a little bit more but also to be honest most people buying phones like this probably won't notice the difference between 6 and 8 gigs of RAM anyway that's more about future proofing and overhead and to be fair we'll see how these phones perform down the line after the reviews this one also has ip68 certification this phone also has expandable store just not missing those things but also note because the phone's a little bit smaller the battery is also a bit smaller so it's a three thousand one hundred million power battery in the s10 II which is still bigger than the battery of last year's galaxy s 9 so overall galaxy s 10 e appears to be a pretty great phone that costs just a bit less than Samsung's other new phones the sacrifices come in the three main areas of display fingerprint and cameras but they're still pretty good at all those areas so similar to the iPhone 10 our first impression it feels this is gonna be the phone of the new ones that most people should get to save that hundred fifty bucks but you can let me know what you think would you spend the extra money on the super fancy display and the fingerprint reader and the extra camera or would you save that money let me know either way stay tuned for the full review of this phone thanks for watching the first impressions and hands-on feel free to share it with others who may be interested talk to guys in the next one peace
