Pixel 3a or Galaxy S10e

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/pixel-3a-or-galaxy-s10e.208198/

My budget is 40k and I have two phones in mind i.e. Pixle 3a and Samsung S10e.

I am a moderate user. I use phone just for emails, whatsapp, youtube, news, web browsing.
I don't play games or use Social Media.

I am currently using Galaxy S8 from last 3 years and 4 months.

My concerns are
Pixel has better camera and 10K cheaper than s10e.
On the other hand, S10e has better display and processing.

Batteries are same on both the phone.

So I am very much confused which to buy.
And also I wish to keep the phone for atleast 3 or more years.

Pixel 3a should only be chosen for its camera otherwise samsung galaxy s10e is a better option.

S10e not just has a better display & processor, but also a faster storage (UFS 2.0/2.1 vs eMMc of 3a) & has an ultrawide camera. Pixel 3a runs smooth due to stock android, but the SoC & storage are actually inferior to S8. So, S10e is the better choice esp. at 40k.
