It features Apple Face ID, an advanced face recognition system, dual camera on the back, and a powerful A12 Bionic processor.

This year’s novelty was an improved detail capture, especially when viewing images in full resolution, and improved performance in low light.

The iPhone XS is a metal and glass “sandwich,” and if dropped on the floor, it will crash just like its competitors. But its appearance exudes a sense of luxury, for which a smartphone can be forgiven for its fragility.

It doesn’t matter, after all, Samsung has the Galaxy S10e, which has many of the most important features of its more expensive siblings, while offering a more comfortable palm size and a few compromises to help lower costs.

Let's see how the S10e differs from the more expensive Galaxy S10.

1. The smaller display size is 5.8 inches (Full HD +) on the S10e versus 6.1 inches (Quad HD +) and curved around the edges on the S10. The matrix for both models is the same - AMOLED.
2. The S10e has a dual rear camera, the S10 has a triple camera with a telephoto lens. The front cameras of the “brothers” are the same - 10 MP Dual Pixel, with an aperture of f / 1.9.
3. The maximum amount of RAM is 6 GB, flash memory - 128 GB. The S10 has 8 GB and 128 GB, respectively.
4. The S10e has a less powerful battery - 3100 mAh compared to 3400 for the S10.
5. The S10e does not have a fingerprint scanner built into the screen.

In this case, the processor for the younger and older versions is the same - the latest Samsung Exynos 9820. Do you want to overpay for minor improvements - decide for yourself.

If you need a not-too-expensive, highly-rated smartphone that is equipped with a very fast processor and premium features, such as a fingerprint scanner on the display, fast charging and an artificial intelligence camera, then choose Huawei P30 - you won’t be mistaken.

It features a superb OLED screen with HDR support and a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, a triple camera on the back, and an incredibly powerful 32 MP front lens.

Compared with the iPhone XS, the model with the Max prefix has become significantly larger in display size and 31 grams heavier.

At the same time, the iPhone XS Max has the same internal components as its smaller brother XS, and it is not surprising that it works in exactly the same way. With a six-core A12 Bionic processor, this device probably has more power than most users need until some magical new application comes out that takes advantage of this.

Its OLED screen is one of the best ever installed on a smartphone, and makes watching movies and TV shows on the go enjoyable and comfortable for the eyes.

Unfortunately, like the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max is a step backward in terms of Apple’s battery life. Where the iPhone X lasts 30 hours between charges, the iPhone XS Max will last only 24 hours.

Its maximum RAM capacity is 12 GB, and in combination with the powerful Exynos 9820 processor this is quite enough for the most demanding mobile games and applications.

The S10 Plus is Samsung's first mobile phone to use the all-new Infinity-O design with an AMOLED panel. It will show you not only 50 shades of gray, but also a deep black color, as well as saturated colors, after which you will not want to look at other screens.

The decision to move the front camera to a small cutout on the active area of ​​the display allowed Samsung to equip the S10 Plus with a wide 6.4-inch panel - the same size as Note 9. And at the same time reduce the physical dimensions of the smartphone compared to the 6.2-inch S9 Plus .

The triple rear camera S10 Plus allowed the model to become one of the best camera phones according to Roskachestvo.

Finally, it is worth noting the new One UI interface, based on the Android Pie. It was designed from the ground up to allow users to conveniently work with such a massive screen with one hand.
