Smartphone Samsung Galaxy A10 - advantages and disadvantages

For a long time, Samsung's management believed that it was necessary to constantly produce expensive models with meager 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 of the Samsung Galaxy A10, which has a wide range of features, as well as an affordable price. This model assumes worthy, in relation to the price, technological equipment. These innovations will cause serious interest in the mobile device market. Many potential buyers will want to get such a device.

A little about the new

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 a large display. This is how the device is described. He fell in love with lovers of Samsung. Now the brand will be more willing to buy 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. This is a lot for a smartphone with such modest characteristics. 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 also just hold it in your hand.

But still there are fans who will admire this technique. When making such a screen, the main focus was to satisfy those users who like to play a lot of medium video games or watch videos on YouTube. But there are many such fans. Because the company guessed with the budget model. True, it still costs a little more than Chinese counterparts. But the price has become more affordable.

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

Memory and performance

Performance leaves much to be desired.The developers said 32 GB of internal memory 2 GB of RAM. Such a set will allow you to open basic applications and several games that will work without sagging. Manufacturers say that support for large memory cards is available, up to 512 GB. By the way, now most budget computers have 512 GB of 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 little lame.

The smartphone is great for undemanding users or as a spare smartphone. The big 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, you can choose a cheaper option.

Hardware and navigation

Supported memory card type: / 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 ordinary cameras are installed here. They don't stand out in anything special. The main module here is 13 MP, which is typical for all smartphones in this price category. Takes good pictures in high-quality indoor or daylight. At dusk and in the dark, photographs tolerably well.

In general, the camera is not bad, but still not the best for this price category. Suitable for selfie lovers.

Can shoot at 720p and 1020p.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 an over-the-top 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 online and make calls, 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 even faster. But now, as a rule, the frequent execution of all of the above is not a problem, because at any time you can get an additional charge through power bank.

In general, the battery is good and so. But if you are going on a long trip, then you cannot do without a power bank. The battery itself is non-removable, which may seem like a problem when the phone freezes. But here, too, do not despair, because it is protected from careless behavior. You won't 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 give their children such a means of communication to school.

Interesting fact! An experiment was carried out: even with a 40% charge, the phone 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.

Pleased with the fast charging function.

Conclusion

• Huge screen;
• Good viewing angles;
• Modern design;
• Powerful battery;

But how can this stop the true fans of Samsung smartphones.
