Friends+Design
- Looks chic and robust for its price - the front is a modern, water-drop notch, 6.2-inch panel, and the back is glossy plastic
- The glossy back is of course also a fingerprint magnet
- No notification LED
- No fingerprint sensor (there is face unlock though, which works reasonably well)
Display
- Decent, contrast-rich, 6.2-inch IPS display
- No auto brightness sensor
Software
- Packs Samsung's new One UI, which is one of the more streamlined and refined Android skins out there, and includes a nice, intuitive gesture navigation system
Performance
- Good, solid performance for the price bracket, with a Samsung Exynos 7884 at the core - you will get smooth daily performance, as well as smooth gameplay in casual to mid-end games
Camera
- The single rear-facing 13MP camera takes decent-looking pictures, for the price bracket (though detail, sharpness levels, and dynamic range could have been better)
- The 5MP front camera is also ok for the price (though again exposure levels and image noise could be better)
Audio
- Decent mono speaker
Connectivity
- No compass
Verdict
- Overall, the A10 is just an average phone from Samsung in what is now a pretty competitive price bracket - it misses out on key things like an auto-brightness sensor, and a compass, and so comes out as weak competition to the segment leaders from Xiaomi and Realme
