That said, if you find yourself liking Samsung's plastic offering more than, let's say, the forthcoming, more durable tempered glass counterpart of that of a competitor, the firm will be selling replacements on its website and in select brick-and-mortar stores for when it's all scratched and tarnished. They'll come at a premium, though — $29.99, to be precise.
The budget Galaxy S10e, unlike the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+, won't come with a screen protector installed out of the box, and that's because it doesn't tout a fancy ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. For that reason, customers shouldn't have any trouble heading over to their local Best Buy when their handset arrives to choose from one of the many off-the-shelf options.
This isn't the first time that Samsung has thrown a freebie in with one of its latest devices. It first started bundling a protective case with the Galaxy Note 8 in a handful of markets, including India, later moving that same scheme over to the Galaxy A8+ (2018), Galaxy On7 Prime, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, and, most recently, the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e.
