Yeah, I was impressed with the Note 10+... jam a 6.8" screen in practically the same form factor as my 8... also jam in a massive battery and still feel as thin if not thinner than the 8 also. But just didn't make me wanna crave one when I left the store like past year phones did.
S10E I think is a great small phone. Too bad people are not into smaller phones. I'll have to keep an eye on prices on that because I really wouldn't mind a heavily discounted S10E to use as a running phone. XR is a really nice phone... screen so sharp I can't tell the difference in quality over the X. But it's still on the pricey side so between the two I'd go S10E.
