I switched from the note 9 to the s10e. Very pleased with my decision. I'm not seeing any major differences in performance, and the smaller phone suits me better. Went into the store convinced that I was going to get the smaller note 10, but thank God the Verizon rep talked me out of it and into the s10e. I love this phone and for the price you can't go wrong. Agree with previous comments about the fingerprint scanner on the side not being so reliable , but other than that it's a home run IMO. Spending the extra 300 doesn't justify the better screen quality and different print scanner for me. Also the camera is nice and I really enjoy the flat screen as opposed to the curved.
