I have an S10e and have been unwilling to buy a new phone for a long time. I want a new Samsung phone with the 'best' specs but with dimensions no larger than that of an S10e, but sadly no such phone has been made by Samsung since the s10e.

I care for speed and power, but most of all the dimensions HAVE to be smaller than those of current new phones.

I would even pay same price as larger version if it had similar specs.

Can we have new small phone, please?

Hi @Holmgren  I understand your wishes , have been a few  Members asking this previously.

I think it is going to be a challenge having top specifications  if devices were any smaller,  nowadays there are demands to fit in more components  and you need space for more powerful Batteries.   Like it or not there is just not the same demand for smaller Devices  with  customers generally spending a lot time on their Smart Devices.  There are Flip Devices such as Z  Flip 5 for instance. A bit about different screen sizes.  https://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-phone-buying-guide/what-screen-size/     There is also the option to use one Handed Mode https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/using-one-handed-mode/ 

A bit about small phones here:   https://9to5google.com/2024/03/31/small-phones- 

 

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

I could do with a little less specs if it meant a smaller size. The midrange phones for Samsung are too limited, so something between midrange and flagship - mainly because of the lack of wireless charging with the midrange. The key challenge with these larger phones is that women's clothing manufacturers don't make pockets big enough for the bigger phones. The S10e barely fits in only about half my clothing and not all women want to lug around a purse to handle the phone.

Honestly, I just want them to come out with an s10e again basically or make them again with the updates available. It has all the best features and does plenty for what I need. I still use my s10e and have refused to go to any other phone because of the draw backs. I am a petite woman who works around animals and do not carry purses ect, it has to fit in the pocket of my jeans or pants and it is the max size I want. Also the microsd slot is also a huge reason I have kept this phone. I use my phone to take photos for work and other business related things and absolutely need the storage space plus the safety of it being on an external chip. I've been really frustrated they have cut the s10e from updates and are basically down and out with them because I refuse to "upgrade" because really all the new phones are downgrades. I also know so many other people who have held onto their s10e and/or saying the same thing about wanting smaller phones again that are functional and will withstand use (really do not want the flip phone with the flex screens because that's a recipe for disaster working around livestock). They really need to just come out with the s10e again whether it's named the same or not. I'm really contemplating looking at other options outside Samsung and galaxy if they won't try to keep the features that so many love from this phone. Plus the s10e has wireless charging, a headphone jack separate from charging (I hate the new design on this), and has plenty of the features I need. The newer phones are honestly way more than I'll ever need and don't even want which is why I have also hated that they have taken these options away in newer models. A large demographic they likely don't hear from much such as older folks and rural workers who don't need every new little tweaked update and likely spend less time online giving feedback like this and are getting frustrated. I am a young petite woman in my 20s working and in school so I use my phone a lot and the s10e has done everything I have ever needed.  Samsung, please at least remake the s10e or make a "updated" version or whatever marketing scheme you want to use to bring these phones back with the features that are such a big deal for so many. Small size, external microsd storage, and a charging port for only charging so you can plug in both at the same time are honestly the biggest features I feel they have lost and because of that,  I have not bought a new phone in a long time and even returned another Samsung phone I tried out and disliked enough that I went and ordered another refurbished s10e.  Signed,  a very frustrated customer who has loved the galaxy s10e and want a line of smaller phones even if not the top of the technology for the normal every day working person who does not need fancy extras and is not a fan of social media "influencer" level phones.

I completely agree! Just re-release the s10e and it will be perfect. My current s10e are 5 years old and the battery is getting really bad, but I still keep the phone as I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement.

I really don't need any of the top specs, just whatever can fit in the s10e size. Samsung, please reconsider releasing new phone similar to s10e.

Same here, the battery on my s10 is slowly getting really bad.
I just want the same thing, maybe a slightly better camera.
I want the same size, and also the 3.5 audio jack.
And if phones need to be bigger because of battery capacity, why not make them also a bit thicker...?
The s10e is 7.9mm (which does not feel bulky at all) while the s23 is only 7.6 mm!?

if there was a new s10e released I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
