The Samsung Galaxy A10s is an Android-based smartphone developed and marketed by Samsung Electronics as a part of its Galaxy A series. This phone was announced on August 27, 2019, and was targeted towards the low-budget category.[2][3][4] It is the second Galaxy smartphone not manufactured by Samsung and was instead manufactured by Jiaxing Yongrui Electron Technology. Unlike the first ODM Galaxy smartphone, the China-exclusive Samsung Galaxy A6s, it is available internationally.

Design

The Galaxy A10s sports a 7.8mm body featuring a glossy plastic finish, with 4 color options: black, green, blue, or red. It has an HD+ display PLS TFT LCD[5] and an Infinity-V cutout on the front to host the front camera module. The screen also flaunts an auto-adaptive brightness feature.[6] The additional features also include a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, along with face recognition for unlocking the phone[5] and a dual camera setup for photography.

The chipset is powered by a MediaTek MT6762 Helio P22 (12nm) Octa-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 with GPU PowerVR GE8320 (4 cores at 2.4 GHz + 4 cores at 1.9GHz).

Software

Samsung had launched the Galaxy A10s with Android 9 Pie-based One UI. The smartphone received the Android 10 based One UI 2 update in 2022, and the Android 11-based on One UI 3 update in July 2021.[8]

Rebrand

The Galaxy A10s was mentioned in the name section of the Samsung Galaxy M01s listing in the Google Play Console after its recent TUV Rhineland certification, hinting that the device would be a rebranded version of the A10s released in August of the previous year. This was further confirmed after discovering the same specifications found on both devices. However, the Galaxy M01s features a lithium-ion, instead of a lithium-polymer battery, different two-color variations, slight weight differences, and a lower price than the former. [9]
