The Morning After: Android Q arrives
And we review the Galaxy S10e.
Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.
We reviewed Samsung's smaller Galaxy S10 just in time for Google to deliver the first beta version of Android Q. Also, there's some information on how much the Apex Legends launch cost to pull off, and Microsoft's new Xbox One app brings PC games streaming to your console.
The Galaxy S10e delivers the essentials of the S10 experience -- excellent performance, great cameras and improved software -- in a package that feels more manageable, both physically and financially. However, a smaller phone means a smaller battery, and its fingerprint sensor is in an odd location. If you can live with a few compromises, it still packs more than enough power and polish for those unwilling to jump the $1,000 price barrier for a new phone.
The Android Q beta is here with a focus on privacy
You can enroll in Google's beta program if you want to try Android Q now, although this initial version only supports Pixel devices (ranging from the original to the Pixel 3).
