It is difficult to find a brand that does not have a device in its portfolio, which was born with the aim of becoming a super-sales. Generally, they are devices that do not reach the quality levels of large flagships, but have enough features to tempt a large number of users. Within this type of terminals we have the iPhone SE 2020 and the Galaxy S10e.
When we want to change mobile and our goal is not to reach the price levels of the most powerful mobile phones on the market, the alternatives are many and varied in all brands. At the moment, in the market we find both the iPhone SE 2020 and the Galaxy S10e, as examples of two excellent terminals that do not reach 600 euros. For this reason we wanted to take a closer look at both terminals, and see their main differences and advantages of one over the other.
Screen and dimensions
The first thing that attracts attention is that we are facing two terminals, which in 2020 we can consider compact. However, the size of the Galaxy S10e is considerably larger. The Samsung terminal reaches 5.8 inches, compared to 4.7 inches for the iPhone SE 2020. The resolution is on the side of the Galaxy since it reaches FullHD + compared to the HD + resolution of the iPhone.
It should be noted that in the design section, it gives the feeling of being mobile before years of difference. The iPhone SE 2020 has a classic design, inherited from the iPhone 8 and that makes it have large frames. The Galaxy S10e draws much better attention to this aspect, with an “all-screen” design only clouded by the hole intended to house the front camera.
As for thickness and weight, the iPhone SE expires with a thickness of only 7.3 millimeters and a weight of 148 grams. The Galaxy S10e cannot reach such low levels, with its 7.9 millimeters and 150 grams of weight. There is no excessive distance in this regard, since you will hardly notice a difference carrying one and the other in your pocket, regardless of the size of your screens.
Exynos vs A13
The iPhone SE 2020 has a surprise inside, having the A13 Bionic processor, which we find in the iPhone 11. Its rival integrates the Exynos 9820 , an advanced processor but that in terms of performance is somewhat behind the chip from Apple. Always keep in mind that they are created with different architectures and intended to comply with antagonistic operating systems. Both terminals have 128 GB of internal memory, but it is only expandable through microSD cards in the Galaxy S10e. The RAM is 6 GB on the Samsung device, 3 GB on the Apple device .
Cameras
When we turn them over, we also see important differences. In the iPhone SE 2020 we find only a 12 megapixel camera, and a 7 megapixel front sensor. This does not prevent it from having advanced photography options and can record in 4K resolution, but it has a disadvantage compared to its rival. The Galaxy S10e features a dual 16 + 12 megapixel camera, and a 10 megapixel front sensor.
Connections and battery
The two terminals have the main connections, including NFC or Bluetooth 5.0. The iPhone SE has a fingerprint sensor on the classic Touch ID , while the S10e integrates it on the power button. The iPhone reaches 1,821 mAh battery, with fast charge and wireless charging. In this case, the S10e far exceeds this figure with its 3,100 mAh and the same charging technologies. Both teams have the latest version of the operating system, that is, iOS 13 and iPhone 10 respectively.
Similar prices
At the moment, the two mobiles are at a very similar price. The iPhone SE 2020 in its 128 GB version, can be purchased right now on Amazon for 507 euros. For its part, the Galaxy S10e , can be ours right now for 529 euros . We are facing a difference of just 22 euros between both devices. It is clear that if we are fans of Apple and we seek to save money with a powerful and compliant mobile, the iPhone SE is our option. If we want to carry a terminal that seems more in line with current times, in the design section and that has more camera possibilities, the Samsung should be our option.
