Galaxy S10e and iPhone XS Camera Comparison
I took a few sample shots on my Samsung Galaxy S10e and iPhone XS this morning and wanted to share the differences. It's worth noting that none of these photos are of people, which is where the S10e I feel falls flat, but if you're taking pics of still objects, this

Charging Speed on Galaxy S10e (vs OnePlus 6 and iPhone XS)
I just got the Galaxy S10e in hand and decided it was only right to see how fast it would charge using the included fast chargers in the box. Spoilers, it’s fast, and right up there with the best out there.
