i got one of these after my s10e died after i noticed it was a phone with a headphone jack, 120hz display, supported builds of lineage os 20, and cost about the same as the s10e last year
one thing to note is it is over half an inch wider, and an inch taller, so it is not as suitable for small hands — kind of a pain with average hands too but you get used to it
also the relatively new optical fingerprint sensor takes noticeably longer to authenticate then the refined capacitive fingerprint reader. plus you have to wake up the phone or wait a bit if you don't get it unlocked first time
on average you can find one unlocked second hand for ~300€, about the same as the s10e
compared to the s10e, screen repairs cost a bit less but are counteracted by the higher cost of other upgrades — it being more costly to replace the back plastic of the A-series then the back glass of the S-series
