Samsung Galaxy A10 smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

For a long time, the management of Samsung has believed that it is necessary to constantly produce expensive models with poor characteristics in comparison, for example, with Chinese counterparts, because the brand will always be bought. But times have changed. Now the South Korean company has decided to introduce a new model Samsung Galaxy A10, which has a wide range of functions and an acceptable price. This model assumes worthy, relative to the price, technological equipment. These innovations will generate serious interest in the mobile market. Many potential buyers will want such a device.

A little about the new product

This is one of the best phones that cost 10 thousand rubles. Technological characteristics at the level. Another novelty from the same series will be released very soon, only the PRO version, equipped with a triple camera.

Technical indicators

For clarity, the table shows the main technical characteristics:

Modest hardware and large display. This is how this device was described. He liked the fans of Samsung. Now the brand will be eagerly bought by old fans. They have been waiting for a good and affordable phone with a capacious battery for a long time. The body is made of plastic. The phone itself weighs 168 grams.

Screen

The display here is 6.2 inches. That's a lot for a smartphone with such modest specifications. On average, even a 5-inch screen is enough for optimal use. Phones that have a display larger than 6 inches are already considered mini-tablets. Such a shovel, if pulled out in transport, will not be very convenient to use for conversations, but just hold it in your hand.

But still, there are amateurs who will admire this technique. When making such a screen, the main emphasis was concentrated on satisfying those users who like to play a lot of average video games or watch videos on YouTube. But there are many such fans. Therefore, the company got it right with the budget model. True, it still costs a little more than its Chinese counterparts. But the price has become more affordable.

The screen resolution is very weak. Here it is only 1520x720 pixels. The budget type of the matrix is ​​also established. The aspect ratio is 18.5: 9. This indicator is close to modern standards, which look like this: 18x9. The good news is that the color rendition is within the normal range.

Memory and performance

The performance is poor. The developers have announced 32 GB of internal memory and 2 GB of RAM. This set will allow you to open basic applications and several games that will run without sagging. Manufacturers say support is available for large memory cards up to 512GB. By the way, now most budget computers have 512 GB memory, and here a memory card for such a volume is supported. This is a clear plus of this "state employee".

A good eight-core Exynos 7884 Octa processor is installed. GPU: ARM Mali-G71 MP2. Multitasking is expected to be a bit lame.

The smartphone is great for undemanding users or as a spare smartphone. The large screen will make it easier to read books. Therefore, this device can be used as an e-book. Although if you take the phone only for these purposes, then you can choose a cheaper option.

Hardware and navigation

Supported memory cards: / microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC /.

Works on Android 9.0.

Supports all modern wireless networks and high-speed mobile Internet.

Additionally equipped with such navigation systems as:

• aGPS;
• GPS;
• GLONASS;
• Digital compass.

Additionally, there is a radio, proximity sensor, flashlight, noise reduction function.

Cameras

As for the price of 10 thousand rubles, the most common cameras are installed here. They are not distinguished by anything special. The main module here is 13 MP, which is typical for all smartphones in this price category. Photographs well in high-quality indoor or daylight. At twilight and dark time of the day takes pictures tolerably.

Overall the camera is not bad, but still not the best for this price point. Suitable for selfie lovers.

Can shoot in 720p and 1020p resolution. Frequency: up to 30 frames per second.

The front camera can be used for live broadcasts, to start broadcasting and broadcast to the whole world, it is not necessary to have a fancy front camera. For selfies, it is suitable, but only the quality of the pictures will be low.

Video can shoot in HD and Full HD modes.

Photo quality is poor.

Battery

The battery capacity is 4000 mAh. This volume is quite enough for two days of active work. If you go to the Internet and make calls, then the battery will last more than three days. But if you constantly hang out on social networks, then the gadget can be discharged in a day. And when you play games, the charge will go away even faster. But now, as a rule, frequent execution of all of the above is not a problem, because at any time you can get an additional charge through paver benka.

Overall, the battery is good anyway. But if you are going on a long trip, then you cannot do without a power bank. The battery itself is not removable, which may seem like a problem when the phone hangs. But here, too, do not despair, since she is protected from careless behavior. You will not be able to remove it on your own. This is a big plus, since a person can independently damage the batteries. This is important, first of all, for parents who provide children with such a means of communication to school.

Interesting fact! An experiment was carried out: the phone even with 40% of the charge was taken to work and at the end of the working day there was even a charge left, and this was with the Internet turned on and using social networks for some time.

I am glad that there is a fast charging function.

Output

So what do we end up with? In general, we have before us a solid phone with acceptable characteristics and not much overpriced.

• Huge screen;
• Good viewing angles;
• Modern design;
• Powerful battery;
• Fast charging function;
• Quite adequate price;
• Support for memory cards up to 512 GB.

• No fingerprint scanner
• Weak pixel density;
• Not very high performance;
• Cameras are no better than the competition;
• Average performance processor;
• Cheap iron;
• Suitable as a backup or a phone for a schoolchild or student.

In general, the brand's striving to release a device at an acceptable cost with decent functionality is encouraging. However, when comparing with competitors in the corresponding price range, we have to admit that Samsung Galaxy A10 cannot compete with Chinese devices. But how can this stop true fans of Samsung smartphones.
