Samsung Galaxy A10e

The Samsung Galaxy A10e suits someone looking for a small, light phone for basic tasks, with a clear trade-off: its 3,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 5.83-inch display keeps the phone compact, but its 295 ppi density is below average for its time. At 141 g, its weight is among the lowest of phones launched around then.

Its 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are also below what most phones from that time offer. Storage is expandable, giving room for more files. The rear camera’s 8 MP resolution is among the weakest of its time, while its f/1.9 aperture is below average. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. For connections, the phone has USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5 and support for two SIM cards; connectivity overall is above average.

Low weight and comparatively capable connectivity are its strongest points, but battery capacity, memory and camera resolution trail most phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 3.3 and an overall showing worse than most, the Galaxy A10e is best suited to someone who values a simple, narrow and lightweight phone over a larger battery, more built-in storage or a higher-resolution camera.
