Galaxy A10: "baratinho" da Samsung desonra legado da linha J | Análise / Review By TudoCelular

Samsung started 2019 changing the market with a flood of new smartphones ranging from basic to intermediaries with bold design. This is the Galaxy A10, the cheapest of the new series and it has recently arrived for R$ 1000. Is it better than the Galaxy M10 and others at this price range? That is what you'll learn now with Tudocelular. All new smartphones of the A and M series are very similar especially the front part. Samsung has been adopting the drop-shaped notch to reduce the edges and deliver mobile phones with larger screens than those on the J lineup. Like the M10, this one also has the whole body made of plastic.

The finish is brilliant and unfortunately scratches easily. The company did not include a protective case on the packaging. In addition to this option in blue you can choose the A10 in shades of gray there is also a red option, if you like more attractive colors. It is curious to see the position of the speaker in the rear, which resembles the brand's old cell phones. and this is reinforced by the headset that comes with the A10 - an old model that refers to the beginnings of the Galaxy line.

To ensure a low price, the company made some cuts no double camera in the back as seen on cheap Chinese phones and neither USB-C. But, interestingly, the A10 has Bluetooth 5 connection, something that is difficult to see in this segment. The fingerprint reader is also missing on the A10 - the only biometric solution available is the facial one, which works well though, is not so safe. Also do not expect AMOLED screen, here we have a simpler LCD panel with 6.2 "and HD + resolution. The quality is just OK - the colors are a bit washed out, but the viewing angle is not bad at all.

The brightness is decent and ensures good visibility outdoors but against sunlight, it is quite difficult to see the contents of the screen. What will be needed for many is in an automatic way to adjust the brightness. The sound part is not that great either. The single speaker has decent power but the position in the back is bad. The sound will be muffled when you leave the phone on the desk.

The included headset is too simple and does not support Dolby Atmos so do not expect a good experience with songs on the A10. In its interior we find the platform Exynos 7884, same present in the A20. Its hardware is more current and powerful than the M10's, but do not expect too much in terms of performance. The A10 has only 2 GB of RAM and this ends up compromising the experience. It is slower than several other smartphones for less than R$ 1000 that we tested recently.

Maybe with 1 GB more memory, the story would be different. At least here you have 32 GB of storage. In benchmarks it outperforms other Samsung smartphones in this price range but if you're a fan of high numbers, there are more powerful Chinese models. In games the A10 does well - here it delivers better performance than the M10, and does not disappoint against rivals in that category. Its battery yields nicely well while gaming.

The J series never thrilled in performance, but always delivered good battery life. The Galaxy A10 runs away from this standard. In moderate use it is even possible to use it all day long without worrying about recharging it but if you enjoy gaming lot on your cell phone or spending the whole day on YouTube, it's better to take the charger with you. The charger that comes with the device is quite weak and makes you need to wait almost two and a half hours to have the 3400 mAh fully populated. At least the A10 comes with Android Pie pre-installed, with the OneUI interface, unlike the M10 that came outdated.

The software has interesting features that make it easy to use with just one hand The Android even responds well, what really disappoints is the multi-tasking. If you use many apps at the same time, you might get annoyed with this Samsung basic device. As we said before, in the back there is only one camera. It delivers maximum resolution of 13 megapixels and overall quality is medium. in places with great light you will even be able to record good results but the focus does not always help and lack sharpness.

Unlike other smartphones from Samsung, the A10 does not abuse so much of the contrast and the dark spots turn out greyish, especially when the zoom is used. There is a shortcut to 2x zoom but it is only digital and ends up compromising even more the quality. Using the HDR will make the photos darker as always - at least the exposure is well controlled and we have photos less bursted than many cheap cell phones. At night the photos come out quite dark, but with few noises. If in well-lit places is lacking sharpness in poorly lit environments the situation worsens.

The front camera has good results, you will have selfies with good level of detail and controlled exposure. Indoors is where we see the best results but when there is low light the sharpness is compromised and the details of the skin disappear. The A10 is capable of recording videos in Full HD; your focus works fine, but the exposure control does not work like the photos. The videos come out pretty shaky, especially with the front camera. There the zoom shortcut is also available on the camcorder.

If you are looking for a cell phone to shoot at night, forget it - the Galaxy A10 records very dark and noisy footage. If you are looking for a cheap, well-performing phone, there are more interesting options such as the Redmi 7, Moto G7 Play and even Samsung's own M10. On battery power the A10 is also below competitors, but spends less time in the socket than the Galaxy M10. Its camera is limited to the basics only; Xiaomi and Motorola rivals do a better job overall. Not to mention that the G7 Play records videos in 4K.

The Galaxy A10 is a lost product within Samsung's new confusing line. It should be better than the M10, but it can be worse on just about anything. It is slower and the battery yields less. Its official price is R$ 1000, or R$ 999 - but it is possible to find it for less in several stores. Is it worth paying that amount for it? As you might guess after checking this analysis, the answer is no.

The A10's advantage against the M10 is in game performance but the G7 Play also does well and costs less. The Redmi 7 would be another more interesting option than this basic Samsung device.
