Samsung Galaxy Note 10 has just been unveiled and will soon be available are retail in a week or so, the phone is built to cater for the demands of today’s high end customers and also made to be future ready. But for those looking for something that is just as fancy and can meet to their needs budget wise, Samsung quietly released a less shiny sibling in the Galaxy A10s.

A couple of years back, no one would have expected to see a device packed with features that is seen on the A10s to be labelled as and mid-tier smartphone. It has a 4,000mAh battery,that can keep you going for hours, be it gaming, streaming, or broadcasting live. A dual camera for the rear with one that detects  depth intelligently recognises backgrounds and allows artistic effects to images and the other gives a 13MP main camera.

At 6.2″ the Galaxy A10s’ is not small, a bigger palm will be required to hold this one but then again the phone is ideal for watching movies and playing games. The Infinity-V Display is no QHD Amoled, but suffice to say the playback is vivid and sharp, no loss of quality whatsoever.  There are security features both in the front and back, with fingerprint scanner built into the back and face recognition in the front.

The A10s is a step up from the earlier A10 release, two camera’s for the rear and better battery could be slight tweaks, however for the initiated these can be deciding factors when comparing with other models in the shelves.
