    Does anyone else see "Made for Australia" and think over-priced and lacking dual SIM?

    • RimofLeo on 01/05/2019 - 08:51

      Considerable, isn't it? LOL

      • Kangal on 01/05/2019 - 09:15

        Yeah, the weaker Samsung Isocell cameras, slower Exynos processor, and worse battery life, are major reasons to be concerned.

        Just wished the Snapdragon versions could come with warranty, and also let users have unlocked bootloader/root/twrp/custom roms.

        • Zylam Marex on 01/05/2019 - 09:43

          Are custom roms still a thing for Samsung? I've moved away from them and onto Xiaomi. But last I heard they locked down everything pretty hardcore. Are things up and running again?

        • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 09:45

          They had 2 updates to the camera processing. Also battery life has almost doubled for me on Exynos. I came from p3xl and I'm not having any issues with camera, battery or CPU. It's far faster than p3xl.

            @onlinepred: doubled? thats hard to believe, whats ur screen on time?

            • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 10:41

              @striker5950: For you I will give you the only information you can make sense of if I give you SOT only. 2xl: 4hrs sot, 3xl: 3hrs, s8: 3.5hrs, s9: 3.5hrs, s10e: 4 hrs. When I got s10e it would last maybe 2 hrs. After the April update things changed.

                  @S2: That's the thing, SOT is a useless measurement except for a single individual. I don't try at all to save battery and use the device for what it is. Sure I can get 12 hrs out of it if I just play a movie with everything off but what does that mean to you?

    • sfac on 01/05/2019 - 09:23

      Yes it's made for Aus.

      Overpriced - tell me something that is not over priced in Australia.

      Lacking dual sim - your telecom does not want dual sim.

      • KentT on 01/05/2019 - 12:08

        Heaps of things are cheaper.

        People just still have the dollar parity mindset plus forget that US prices never include sales tax. Looking at US prices you need to add 50% now to convert to Australian dollars incl. GST.

        I was looking at the Amazon Echo stuff just now and it's pretty much all cheaper on the Australian site.

        Echo Dot - US$40 is about $75 - costs $59 here (or $79 for two)
        Echo - US$100 is about $150 - costs $100 here
        Echo Plus - US$150 is about $230 - costs $230 here
        Echo Spot - US$130 is about $200 - costs $150 here
        Echo Show - US$230 is about $350 - costs $300 here

        ETA: That's not including the 20% off bargain at the moment.

    • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 09:49

      I think warranty and local feature support. Last time I had an import s8, it never got Telstra updates that allowed certain features for RCS

      • mathew42 on 01/05/2019 - 10:15

        I would pay a small premium for the local supply, but baulk at paying a premium for a lesser product.

        • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 10:50

          I mean if your need dual Sim then that's fine, if not doesn't make much sense.

    • cloudie9 on 01/05/2019 - 09:12

      That is a grey import.

      • cerealsmok3r on 01/05/2019 - 09:23

        Is this running the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset?

        • BarginGrabber on 01/05/2019 - 11:22

          Nope, so even a lot of the grey imports are going to be running the Exynos. This one is also running that

          The ones that are running the Snapdragon is the Chinese and American versions. Everyone else is getting Exynos

    • spaceflight on 01/05/2019 - 09:27

      Because carriers don't want to subsidise a phone that lets you use their competitors Sim card.

      • Jamesx on 01/05/2019 - 12:21

        So, they keep customers away buying their phones altogether.

      • neonlight on 01/05/2019 - 13:33

        It's your phone you should do what you want on it. Therefore I will never sign up any telcos offering single sim phones

    • BennyHe2018 on 01/05/2019 - 09:39

      For users with multiple numbers, the carriers expect you to buy multiple phones.

      • Jamesx on 01/05/2019 - 12:22

        So, users buy other phones. and used the old one for 2nd sim

    • Zylam Marex on 01/05/2019 - 09:45
      +2

      Yeah this is most likely the issue. They should have different outright stock. I never go on contract with a phone and I assume others do the same. We get stiffed by the carriers nonetheless :(

        I got my P20 Pro Dual sim through JB on a 24mth Telstra plan. Dual sim has been great to have, especially when overseas.

    This brings it on par roughly with the Huawei P30 ($1044.50 after 5% off, then $200 gift card from huawei promo).

  • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 09:47
    +8

    Just putting my 2 cents out there. This is the best phone I have owned in a long time. Previous phones: s8,s9, pxl, p2xl, p3xl. I'm a huge fan of the size of the device, it's incredibly easy to hold and use one handed.

    • Homr on 01/05/2019 - 10:06

      Yeh I agree, I came from a S6.

      I just need to find a case that has a decent grip. I'm currently using Spigen Neo Hybrid and it is very slippery.

      • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 10:51

        I got official silicone Case. It's fantastic

      • Metre on 01/05/2019 - 14:12

        https://www.progadgets.com.au/spigen-galaxy-s10e-silicone-fi…

        I just got the equivalent for my Samsung Galaxy S10 today and it feels great! Gives me that assurance that if it drops it'll be fine.

        Has a raised lip over the top and bottom of the screen, has that smooth silicon feel, and it might be nitpicky from my end but I like that it also covers the bottom I/O ports rather than leaving this huge exposed area. They have an eBay page too if you have coupons or gift cards.

        • Homr on 01/05/2019 - 20:27

          That looks alright but shame it only has black color. Do you know the difference between the official samsung one??

          https://www.harveynorman.com.au/samsung-galaxy-s10e-silicone…

          • blindingshadowz on 01/05/2019 - 23:54

            @Homr: I can't say with absolute certainty but from looking at the photos the inner lining doesn't seem to be made of a microfibre lining which the Spigen is. Also the port cut outs are pretty large but maybe that's a preference thing. I don't imagine you'd be going wrong either way but price-wise I know which one I'd get ;)

    • solidussnake on 01/05/2019 - 10:11

      Hard to believe its better than an s8

      1440 x 2960 pixels, 18.5:9 ratio (~570 ppi density) (S8)
      12 MP, f/1.7, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, OIS, dual pixel PDAF

        Significantly better. It's so smooth and fast. It's faster than my 3xl. The size and feel is fantastic and the screen didn't have curved edges!!!!!!!!!! Speakers are a huge step up and wide angle lens is really fun to use. Fingerprint reader is also so much better placed. All in all its a big step up.

        • solidussnake on 01/05/2019 - 10:57

          Minimal upgrades vs $$ but spec wise still worse than an S8 can the neggers have some input at least ?

            +2

            @solidussnake: What? Overall a much faster phone, better camera, smaller form factor, better speakers, better cpu, faster processing photos etc, 3 years of updates.

            The p2xl is a better phone than the s8 and it's the same price. Perhaps if you are looking at older phones with limited support then get the p2xl?

            Not sure why I got negged, I came from an s9, before that an s8.

            Never only compare specs btw. And if you do, look at ram also.

      • Bacons on 15/05/2019 - 21:14

        You've only selected 2 of the many metrics that make a good phone. Additionally, those camera metrics don't mean much. It's like saying a 2.8ghz mobile processor will perform the same as a 2.8ghz desktop processor just because they run at the same frequency. Screen resolution also doesn't account for screen quality. In fact while you may not notice a difference between sharpness, the CPU will run more efficiently with less pixels to push.

    • justtoreply on 01/05/2019 - 10:29

      You must have massive hands :p

      I haven't held an s10 but my v30+ is FAR too large. It's not safe to hold when actually trying to do useful stuff one handed.

      • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 10:39

        S10e. It's smaller than s10. It's about the same size as iPhone xs. It's much smaller than v30

    • Azif on 01/05/2019 - 16:39

      How do you like camera compared to pixels?

      • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 17:00

        Personally I find the pictures far more satisfying. I also love using the wide angle lens. Videos are significantly better, especially the audio. I have noticed that due to the lens aperture, you can get bokeh effects without using portrait mode, and they are real compared to the fake portrait pixels do. Also macro works well compared to pixel which can't do macro at all. I'm pretty picky, but I don't sit there comparing photos side by side. They look great to me, and I enjoy taking photos again.

  • dingdong3000 on 01/05/2019 - 09:50

      • aggregate on 01/05/2019 - 12:18
        +1

        The choice is more straight forward if it is mate 20 vs P30. The P30 would win by a slim margin because of the improved camera and water resistance rating (other specs are mostly identical).

        But is not as straight forward comparing with S10e.. The Mate 20 has a telephoto and wide angle lenses, which would make it on par with the S10.

        • onlinepred on 01/05/2019 - 12:53

          This is s10e not S10. Neither of the mate phones are as small as the s10e. Can't compare at all.

            @cloudie9: I felt more secure in buying from OW than buying from Amazon. Having had bad experiences with them in the past and the hassle of joining another cashback group wasn't worth the bother (I've also had bad experiences with cashback places, where they don't live up to the cash back claim). Plus I have the phone in my hands already. If you can be bothered to go through all of that to save a little bit more then feel free to do so.

            Also I needed to go to OW today to get some other things. All in all it worked out to be good for me

    • cloudie9 on 01/05/2019 - 19:39

      I guess if you want it now with instant saving from retail brick and mortar shop and possibly more convenient warranty process or save extra $7 from ShopBack and have to wait a bit to get Cashback and deal with posting the phone back to amazon if any issue with phone
