Samsung Galaxy S10e

All i found its official twrp for Samsung Galaxy S10e (Exynos) (beyond0lte)

Looks like Essential PH-2 and Fairphone 3 gonna come out faster than any custom ROM for S10.

Or not! Now we have a BETA build of LineageOS 16 for S10 family. All thanks to the enthusiast-developer Ivan_Meler.

The Galaxy S10e really is a great smartphone, it is recent (2019), more affordable than other current flagships and has great performances. I especially like the fact that it has a reasonable size especially with this strange actual trend to sell almost only huge phones.

The /e/ ecosystem would greatly benefit from supporting such an great flagship that is at the same time recent, powerful and affordable. I would personnally love to buy the S10e if it would be possible to use it with the really promising OS and awesome project that is /e/ !

Thank you all for you great work and thanks in advance for your consideration!

Why would you think that?

Exynos, KNOX and all other proprietary hardware/firmware sh*t that makes developer’s live more “exciting” for the price of two Chinese flaghip-killers.

Well I don’t know about any chinese phone with the same size than the S10e with specs that come close and surely not for half the price.

The S10e is great for being compact, recent, powerful and cheaper than actual flagships. It could really be a game changer for people wishing to try /e/ as privacy respectful alternative with these expectations.

Me too, I request the ROM for this one!
I am sitting here with a new S10 waiting for my first /e/xperience.

Have a nice day!

Just install unofficial LineageOS and MicroG. I doubt /e/ will ever have any S10 in its list of supported devices.

LineageOS isn’t properly degooglized, it is not a suitable option.
The S10e would really be a great platform for /e/ though

Hi all, where can we ask for the /e/ os development for this S10e ?

Welcome in the forum :slight_smile:

You have already done what needed to be done to request it :slight_smile:

Hi. Just discovered this project (via Fairphone) and love it. Not sure if I can do anything to help, but I definitely support including support for Samsung’s Galaxy S10e, the most balanced Android device I have had in years. Thanks to everyone involved.

Hey everyone,
I have been watching /e/ for quite some times now, and I want my next smartphone to be /e/ ready ! I have my eyes on the S10e and I would love to see an /e/ ROM for this device which has a lot of qualities : powerful, compact format, good built and finishes, good camera, stereo speakers, usb-C + 3.5mm jack. Its only downside might be its low average battery life, but I feel like /e/ could fix easily this issue !
There are few LineageOS 17 ROMs available on XDA, could it be a way to a quick and easy build of an /e/ ROM ?

Hi!

Note that the custom LOS17.1 ROM from Ivan_Meler is not fully open-source / public. The device tree is missing.

Though there is a new custom ROM from modpunk and others where all the source code is available and that ROM might become official in the near future.

Maybe then a port to /e/ is feasible.

Also: The ROMs above provide support for Galaxy S10/S10+/s10e [EXYNOS]. If one of the devices are supported, then surely all are, so maybe we should change the title of this request to: Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/s10e

Hi,
If all sources are aviable, can we ask for an unofficial build by a power user ?
Personnaly I will could not buy this device until about four years but I am interested with it.

Please support the galaxy S10 e such a compact and well equipped phone !

Hi ! +1 for the s10e ! Thanks
