The Samsung Galaxy S10e is the first time that the OEM is bringing a more reasonable variant to its flagship line. However, to be capable to keep its price at $750, they had to make several sacrifices regarding the specs of this exacting phone. And apparently, one of those sacrifices is giving up the heart rate sensor that we’ve gotten used to. Samsung, of course, did not endorse the sensor for this device but still people kind of anticipated to have it and might be slightly disappointed to recognize that it doesn’t have one.
Several of the Samsung flagship devices for the past few years have the heart rate sensor and so we assumed that all variants of the Galaxy S10 would also have it. The Galaxy S10e truly has a small black hole with several chips inside right next to the back camera flash. We are also unspecified that the sensor was moderately hidden somewhere, unlike the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+.
But while you go to the Samsung Health app of the Galaxy S10e, it doesn’t have a heart rate tracker. clearly, this sacrifice was made to be capable to remain the price of the phone at now $750 as opposed to the more luxurious Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. This is also maybe the reason why the Wireless PowerShare feature in the Galaxy S10e doesn’t have a notification light when it updated to the newest version of the software.
However, if you really wish for your phone to determine your heart rate, you can forever download a third-party app to do so. Apps like the Heart Rate Monitor. It will utilize your smartphone’s camera to measure your heart rate given that a dedicated sensor shines a light on your finger to measure the blood flow beneath your skin. Your camera can also do this for you, though there’s forever the risk of smudged lenses and not so exact results.
So if you haven’t bought the Galaxy S10e yet and a heart rate sensor is pretty significant to you, you might consider receiving a device that has a dedicated sensor for that. But if you can survive without one and the reasonable price of the phone is more significant, then go ahead and get this “budget” flagship device.
