I imported a Galaxy S10e from HK to the UK and wanted to share this experience
IN a few comments over the past week I'd mentioned I bought the Snapdragon version of the S10e and at a really great price (£489, it's still £669 in the UK).
People asked about OTAs, import fees and what bands are supported etc etc so I thought I'd create a post covering all of these and sharing my overall experience with a device not made for my region.

[Discussion] Ideal phone hardware
OEMs may be running behind extremely thin phones, 99% screen to body ratio and `n` front cameras. That may be attractive to some audience and profitable for them by making parts irreplaceable & hard to repair.
But how does the enthusiast community want their phone to be?
(Eg: With hardware, it may be replaceable battery / screen etc, 3.5 mm jack etc.. and with software, I am pretty sure everyone hates bloated UIs.)...

S10 Zoom/FOV range doesn't get enough credit.
I got some free nosebleed seats to a Suns game last night and decided to take three pictures (one from each lens) of the arena from my same seat and honestly it's kinda crazy. I feel like it really puts the incredible zoom and the wire angle of the S10 into perspective.
