Hello everyone!
So now that the Samsung S20 series of phones is coming out in the next few weeks I have found myself wondering if it is worth upgrading to the S20 series?
After thinking about it and watching multiple Youtube videos of the new S20 models I have concluded…..
NO!
It is not worth updating yet. First a little background.
I got my S10e a year ago March of 2019. Again I spent lots of hours watching videos on each S10 model and felt this was the best phone for me for the following reasons:
- Small form factor for my little hands! I’ve been told I have “carny-size” hands for those of you that know that Austin Powers reference.
- Many reviews/videos rated this the best bang for your buck model
- The higher price tag of the others.
Having this phone for a year now I have to say Im still very impressed! I love using it everyday and have no issues with it!
So now for the topic of upgrading. For me when I upgrade I do enjoy having an upgraded camera, new features, and longer battery life then my previous phone. Which brings me to the new Samsung S20 series. These phones best and most excitable feature I would say are their cameras! Especially the S20 Ultra with its 108-megapixel camera. Now I know your probably asking yourself why would I say NO upgrade if the cameras are better and I like upgraded cameras? The reason is simply that I find the S10E camera that good of a camera for now! I take pictures today that still have me saying “now thats a good picture!”. Also the phone itself is just that good! There is nothing about this phone that I wish was little better or little faster.
Aside from this phone I just haven’t been that impressed with the new S20 models. Even with better cameras and higher processors when it comes to watching the videos of these new models im just not that impressed. I think phones nowadays are just so good overall that yearly upgrades are not needed. I watch the videos of the new models performing everyday tasks and none of them make me jump out of seat! Ya they may be a little faster then my S10E but not nearly as much as it was for me going from my S8 to the S10E. Not enough for me to notice! Also, back to the “carny-hands” reference I just really don’t need a bigger phone then the S10E. If Samsung’s new lineup had a smaller S20e type of model then that may be another story for me.
In closing, if you were to upgrade would I say that’s a mistake? No. Its always fun to get the new models and see what’s possible with technology! But do I think it’s worth it and see myself upgrading to the S20 models? No. Save your money for another year!
….if you want a bigger phone then the s10e for now, maybe try the s10 or s10+.
You’ll save some money and those models still have camera and feature improvements over the s10e that you may fully enjoy!
