The Samsung A10 specifications are indeed for a midrange smartphone as the phone is not loaded with high-end features. However, all the hardware and software components integrate well to make it a great mid-tier handset.

Hardware
How do the hardware components of the Samsung A10 compare with other phones within the same budget?
Design
Among Samsung A10 features, physical design is one of the most significant. Indeed, the phone looks robust and chic for its price with a glossy plastic exterior that comes in blue, black, or dark grey. Although the colours look amazing on the plastic body, the phone's surface is a fingerprint magnet.
The Samsung A10's edges have a smooth transition, which gives the phone a premium feel, mimicking flagship, glass-backed phones. When compounded with the display's narrow bezels, the phone looks fantastic for its price.
The Samsung Galaxy A10 weighs 168 grams, making it the appropriate size for many – not large nor light. The phone's design makes it easy for anyone to hold as it has rounded corners, something compact for the pocket.
Display
If you check out any Samsung Galaxy A10 review, you will notice the emphasis on the phone's fantastic display. It features a 6.2-inch IPS panel that operates natively at 1520x720 pixels. One of the biggest disappointments of the phone is that it lacks a brightness sensor that robs users of automatic brightness.
The display has a decent reaction time for the average user, but gamers might find it below average. One of the most important things about the phone is that it has impressive viewing angles thanks to IPS technology.
Processor, storage, and performance
How well does the Samsung Galaxy A10 core processor score in the performance benchmark? The smartphone's equipped with the Exynos 7884B octa-core chipset that is also found in the more expensive Galaxy A20e.
The 2GB of RAM on the phone is a standard for most of this manufacture's budget phones. However, the 32GB ROM is a significant improvement, and you can hardly get it at this price level on another model. Even though you cannot expect the performance of a high-end smartphone with the phone's features, everything loads quickly for a mid-range smartphone.
Battery life
Samsung A10 is equipped with a 3400mAh battery that delivers solid runtimes even under extreme usage. A user should expect 12 – 13 hours running time. This means that you can use the phone for an entire day with a full charge or for two days with regular usage.
Speaker and call quality
The phone comes with a mono speaker, quite disappointing for people that were looking for stereo speakers. The speaker’s placed in the back of the device and reaches a maximum of 86.1 dB(A).
The positioning of the speaker at the back muffles the sound when placed on a surface or soft furnishings. It does not do a great job when producing the bass frequency, but it is sufficient for someone looking for regular music playback.
Software
The software in a smartphone is as essential as the hardware. It is a good thing that Samsung regularly updates its user interface, namely One UI and the Samsung A10 comes laden with impressive features.
OS & features
The phone features the in-house, custom version of Android 9 that is present in other Samsung phones. It has been integrated with One UI that has numerous unique features, including the capability of copying apps for use on two user accounts. Samsung A10 also comes with certain pre-installs that one can easily remove.

Camera, video, and image quality
Among Samsung Galaxy A10 full specifications, the camera is perhaps the most anticipated by numerous clients. The smartphone manufacturer equipped the phone with a single front and rear-facing cameras, which do not disappoint for the budget.
The back camera is 13MP while the front is 5MP. The rear-facing camera produces amazing photos, but they are short on detail. It is important to note that the smartphone takes excellent pictures for its budget.
Reviews
Since Samsung introduced the A-series with phones ranging from low-end to mid-tier ones, clients have been receiving them with great enthusiasm. The Samsung Galaxy A10 is one of the controversial models in this range.
Some reviewers have said the following about the phone:
digitaltrends.com:The Samsung Galaxy A10 is a good entry-level phone with an awesome display and an excellent performance that comes with a very reasonable price tag to boot.
pcmag.com : The Samsung Galaxy A10e is an attractive phone, but it fails to nail the basics
techadvisor.couk : An appealing device if you're after a taste Samsung's enjoyable user experience but middling abilities across the board, paired with competition from the likes Xiaomi and Motorola mean you should think before you buy.

How does this mid-tier phone score? Indeed, Samsung has been making strange decisions when choosing features to include on its budget phones. The Samsung A10 certainly fits within this decision-making process with certain essential elements missing from the phone like brightness sensor, fingerprint scanner, and many more.
With such omissions, the phone underperforms in certain areas, but it is not surprising for a budget smartphone. Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy A10 is a solid budget smartphone despite its shortcomings. Look elsewhere; you will hardly get a better deal.
