Ergonomics (in-hand feel)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S10e feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Coming from a Pixel 2, and both phones in OtterBox Defenders are almost exact size, which is nice. One thing I don't like is the button placement. Pixel 2's buttons are in a perfect location. The S10e's are way too high on the phone in my opinion, at least to easily use one-handed.

The FPS placement is terrible IMO. I am a lefty and have to adjust (or change hands) every time I want to use it.

First world problems for sure but a show-stopper for me given how many times per day I need to use it.

So which one feels better between pixel 2 and s10e overall according to your experience?

The phones in the Defender case are almost identical, so no difference there. I prefer the Pixel 2 button placement, but not that big of a deal for me. The Pixels lack Band 14 and the new tech with WiFi and ATT's "5g" on the Samsung is really the ticket for me.

I almost feel like using my left index finger would be easier if I were a lefty... But I'm not so I can't say definitively.

Nice size of the device. No problem to reach the opposite corner of the phone when using with one hand

No 5G on 10e

If you bought the 10e thinking you are getting 5G, you got ripped off.
Only the largest 6.7 inch S10's have 5G.

Hence the " ". Regardless,speeds are great on the fake 5g

I really like the size of this phone, the thickness, height for me is perfect. Display size for me is perfect. I had the S9 before although very close to the same size it feels comfortable. in the hand.

Feels much better in my hand than my previous phone, the GS8+. That thing was a monster.

Something special about holding it once you wipe down all the finger oils, fingerprints and dust

Nice size, but buttons are placed oddly. I often end up taking an accidental screen shot when pressing volume-down with left thumb (finger inadvertently touches power-button).
I use bxActions to set the Bixby button to screen toggle on single-press, flashlight goggle on double-press.
