Samsung Galaxy A10e vs A20: Which is the Better Budget Deal? By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is Wade with tech daily, so here in the US Samsung's s, line of phones like the s10 and the s10 II tend to get the most publicity and notice throughout the year with a little of love thrown in for the note line as well, but Samsung also has a really solid sort of secondary budget line up the series, and this year they've really tried to introduce these phones to the US market, even more so now than in years past and I. Think. Their goal here is to give people who don't want to spend $1000 on a device, some more affordable options if you live outside the US you're, probably already familiar with these phones. These are, of course, the Samsung Galaxy, a 10 e and a 20, the cheapest a-series options right now in the States and the most up to date, having launched earlier this summer on some carrier networks and now finally being available as unlocked phones from places like Amazon now, I personally haven't had the chance to check out any Samsung a-series phones. Up to this point. This is my first time dabbling in this sort of budget line, but obviously I was super curious.

What Samsung has to offer at that 200 is dollar price point. So in this video we're going to go over everything. Each of these phones has to offer as the least expensive of Samsung's budget devices and hopefully by the end you can decide if either of these phones is right for you, of course, as always, I'll have links down below in a video description to where you can buy these phones either unlocked or through a carrier. So if you want to pick one up for yourself at their cheapest prices available- or maybe you just want to learn more check out all the links down below in the video description for everything that you need now as far as their pricing and availability, we're kind of all over the map here, but I'll try to sum it up the best I can, so we have a starting point, and then we'll jump into the specs and features and everything else unlocked through Amazon and Samsung comm. You can pick up the smaller, cheaper 8ne for $1709.99, the larger, more expensive 820 retails for $249.99, there's also the 50 which is a bit more expensive, but for now I wanted to focus on the 8 any in a 20 since there's sort of closer in price. Now, honestly, those are too bad of prices up front and those are the U.

S. versions of those advices. Of course, you can opt for an international version on Amazon too, if you're, confident of the phone will work for you and that will likely save you a little of money, but an even better option comes in the form of some US carriers. A number of network providers will offer these phones for even cheaper. If you add a plan or sign up as a new customer, you can save a bit of money if you go with Boost Mobile, which is nice.

But actually, if you take a look at Metro by T-Mobile, you can get the a20 for free if you switch. So anyone goes with a carrier for these phones will probably end up saving the most amount of money, and it might make these phones even more attractive for you, of course, with their different price points. These phones offer different features and specs and, depending on how you want to use your phone, one of these devices might make more sense over the other you're not going to get flagship specs here. That should be pretty obvious, but jam-packed inside these phones is enough power to get some decent usability for sure. The smaller 5.8 3-inch, a 10 e is powered by the XE, no 78-84 processor and two gigabytes of RAM. You also get a 3000 William battery inside and 32 gigabytes of storage shipped with the phone.

The larger six point, four inch 820 has a little more power with the XE, no 7904 and three gigabytes of RAM there's also a larger 4,000 William battery, but the same 32 gigabytes of internal storage standard now. Fortunately, both of these phones support expandable storage via SD card. So that's really nice to see since 32, gigs of storage isn't really a lot and one other important thing to note. On the topic of batteries, the a20 supports fast charging out of the box with a 15 watt power brick, while the 810 e does not I've got to say even with the least expensive budget option, I'm surprised, Samsung cheaper out on charging with the ate mi. As far as the software and performance with these two phones, like I, said you aren't going to get future-proof flagship specs at all, but what you do get is a pretty smooth and very usable experience.

All in all the internals aren't that drastically different between the two phones. Anyway, things are a bit faster on the a20, of course, like you'd, expect and that extra gig of ram is pretty nice, but playing games and launching apps and doing anything else with these phones is a very enjoyable and smooth experience. In my time, using these devices, there wasn't a moment where the phones didn't perform, how I wanted them to and yeah. They definitely can't rival. My note 10 plus, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with what you're getting here.

If your primary focus includes texting, social media, browsing the web and some apps and games here and there I think you'll be more than happy with the performance on either of these phones, one of the more drastic SPENT differences with these phones, though, is the screen. The 8ne is a pretty small phone by 2019 standards, but if you're looking for a phone, that's really easy to hold. This is your best bet, but the half an inch or so size difference is just one side of the story. The larger screen on the a20 is a Super AMOLED panel, while the smaller 8ne display is a pls TFT LCD. Interestingly enough, they're resolutions are exactly the same 15 60 by 720, and if you held either of these phones in your hand by themselves, they do look good, but the difference in display technology I think is fairly obvious.

When they're side-by-side, the AMOLED display on the a20 is brighter and bolder with more saturation and colors. Look significantly better I think you can probably even tell that through this video, like I, said, there's nothing really wrong with the Tenney's display at all, but if your particular about the display, or you're used to AMOLED I, think once you get a taste of AMOLED too it's difficult to resort back to anything else, aside from their size. Physically, these phones look pretty similar and their materials and build are pretty much identical. Even at their different price points. They don't really come in any fun colors here in the US, and fortunately you're stuck with a blue or a grayish black, but they do look good and feel great in the hand the housing is plastic, but it's that sort of glossy thick hard plastic that feels nicer than it is, and it looks pretty good too I think given their price point, you can't really expect much more than that anyway, but all in all, there isn't much to complain about.

You've got identical bezels along the sides and a decent chin with that teardrop notch for the front camera along the top. Once again, we're not pushing the boundaries with the design and certainly not competing with the edge-to-edge displays of other Samsung phones, but you still get a device that looks like it belongs in 2019, no matter which way you go. There's a headphone jack on both phones, USB, see on both phones, decent external speakers, but you'll notice, once again to sort of defining features that separate the a20 from the 8ne. The first is a rear, fingerprint sensor on the larger 820. For me personally, this is nice but kind of irrelevant factor.

Nowadays, it certainly works fine, but I, don't miss it on the 8 any really with face unlock being available on both of these phones. The other big thing you've probably already realized, is that there's a dual camera set up on the 820 and just a single camera set up on the 8 any beyond that the specs themselves, and some features are also pretty different up front. There's a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the 8 NE and an 8 megapixel selfie camera on the 820 and around back on the 8 NE. There's a single 8, megapixel rear shooter. The a20 not only has a better 13 megapixel primary lens, but also that secondary wide-angle lens as well.

In addition to being able to capture wide-angle pictures with a broader landscape, the a20 supports shallow depth of field live focus shots with a blurred background, while the 8ne does not I. Don't think I need to tell you that the a20 has the all-around better camera setup from start to finish, both with hardware and with the software features, and if photos and videos are important to you, the a20 is the phone. You should be looking at. So a couple other things to note. Neither of these phones support wireless charging, which is a bit of a bummer I guess but sort of expected, given the price and also while I focused on the specs and features of the unlocked versions of these devices, depending on the carrier, you buy them from or really wherever you are in the world.

You might find some slightly different information regarding the phones between the different launch dates and international versions and carrier specific models. Even GSM arena lists some conflicting specs and information with these phones, but no matter what version you end up with you're going to be getting basically the same device across the board, which is good, there's nothing too drastic that changes with the different versions of the phones. Now, as far as which phone I prefer I think the 820 is the phone for me not just because it is the better device overall, but I also think it's the better value, especially if you can take advantage of a carrier deal, that's not to say that you should avoid the 8ne I still think it's a good option, but I think the 820 is a nice balance of budget while still offering some decent features. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'd love to know your thoughts in the comments down below.

Let me know you think of these phones and if you have either of them right now definitely tell us about your experience.
