If you're looking for a phone with top-notch camera quality and superior performance, the OnePlus 12 outshines the Samsung Galaxy S10e with better photo and video capabilities, a more powerful processor, and higher RAM. For those who prioritize battery life, the OnePlus 12 also offers a longer-lasting experience. However, it's more costly compared to the Galaxy S10e. With the Galaxy S10e, you save money and still get a reliable device with a headphone jack and solid build quality, but with moderate camera performance and a smaller battery. Screen enthusiasts might prefer the larger and more vivid display of the OnePlus 12, although it's a more expensive option. Both phones operate on Android, so the software experience will be somewhat familiar, but keep in mind the OnePlus is the newer model with potentially longer software support. Give Feedback
