An Ode to My 5-Year-Old Samsung Galaxy S10e
I wanted to write a bit about one of my favourite devices, a rare example of a thing that just works, and has done so without any hiccups for the last five years. I'm talking about my phone of the last five years, Samsung Galaxy S10e.
At the time of writing this paragraph, the phone is rocking a green knockoff backglass from Aliexpress - while looking good, it can't be compared in sturdiness with the original, as it cracked on the first fall. I could bet my top dollar that this is not a conscious design choice, but rather a side effect of cramming too much stuff in them, then realizing you also need a big battery pack to power it. It wouldn't be a long shot to call them a marvel of modern engineering, a testament to human ingenuity and creativity, and a proof that we can collaborate and build impossible things.
