Samsung releases a long list of devices annually; some are so expensive that they can wipe several zeroes off your bank account, while others are moderately affordable. If money were no problem, the former is a no-brainer, but money is a factor to consider for the average Nigerian.

If you plan to buy a moderately affordable Samsung smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A10s is an excellent device to review. Thanks to its balance of price and quality, it remains customers’ favorite three years after.

This article will show you the Samsung A10s price in Nigeria from the three major e-commerce platforms in the country. You’ll also get a breakdown of the device’s specs, from the display to the chipset inside, to decide if it’s good enough for you.

What’s the Samsung Galaxy A10s Price in Nigeria?

Since old budget smartphones are not usually the hottest-selling items, you may encounter some difficulties finding them in online stores like Jumia and Konga. Your best bet for a device like the Samsung A10s is Jiji, where you can buy them from a previous owner.

With that said, here’s the Samsung A10s price in Nigeria across different platforms.

You’ll also be hard-pressed to find the Samsung Galaxy A10s for sale on Konga, but if you do, here are the prices you should expect to pay for it.

Samsung Galaxy A10s Specifications

Display

The Samsung A10s features a 6.2″ display with a 750×1520 resolution, which is one of the worst I’ve seen on a Samsung smartphone. The PLS LCD panel is neither sharp nor crisp, as it comes down to around 271 pixels per inch. It’s undoubtedly one of the worst displays you can find on a Samsung smartphone from 2019.

Processor

The Samsung A10s runs on a MediaTek Helio P22 processor, which is infamous for being significantly slower than Snapdragon alternatives in mid-range and high-end Samsung phones. You also get a PowerVR GPU that works well enough to prevent the device from stuttering when you stream 720p YouTube videos.

However, if you hope to game on your Samsung A10s, a phone with a faster processor will work better. The CPU and GPU combo is insufficient for even the most basic games.

Battery

While the Samsung Galaxy A10s doesn’t come with a fast chipset, it makes up for that with an enormous battery that helps the phone last as long as you’ll ever need it. The 4000mAh cell on the A10s is one of the most Samsung has put in a smartphone, and since the chipset isn’t particularly demanding, it uses power efficiently, making the phone last longer than most alternatives.

Cameras

The Samsung A10s features a dual camera setup, which is unusual on smartphones from the company, even for 2019. The 13 MP f/1.8 primary sensor is the active worker, with the 5 MP depth camera only useful for portrait shots. You also get an 8 MP shooter on the front with an f/2.0 aperture.

Being a budget device, you shouldn’t expect anything groundbreaking from the camera system; it takes mediocre photos, especially compared to the flagship lineup. Also, it can only shoot 1080p video at 30fps maximum, which is disappointing considering that the S7 from 2016 performs better.

RAM/Internal Storage

Being a budget phone, the Samsung A10s features probably the worst RAM and storage configuration you’ll find from a Samsung smartphone in its generation. The device only comes in a 32 GB storage variant, expandable with a MicroSD card through the dedicated slot.

However, you can get the Samsung A10s in two RAM variants: the 2 and 3 GB RAM models, which work similarly. While you won’t notice a significant performance difference, more RAM is always better.

Water-Resistance

The Samsung Galaxy A10s has no water resistance rating, so it’s the wrong kind of device to take with you on a swim. While lacking an IP rating doesn’t mean the phone will stop working as soon as it comes in contact with water, you should note that Samsung did not build it with that in mind. 

Also, the fact that it has a 3.5mm jack should hint that it won’t play well with water. 

Operating System

The Samsung A10s comes with Android 9 out of the box but is upgradeable to Android 11. While Samsung no longer updates the device, Android 11 isn’t outdated for an Android smartphone. It features many recent innovations in the OS, but you should expect the mediocre MediaTek processor to hold it down a bit.

Price

The fact that the Samsung Galaxy A10s is one of the cheapest Samsung phones of 2019 is fair, as the phone features one of the worst specs you can get on any smartphone from that year. As an alternative to the budget device, you can get a similar deal on an older and faster Samsung device, with an older OS as the catch.

I have Samsung Galaxy A10s. Its really a good phone but comparing to some phones that I have, this must be one of my slowest phone that I hhave. – Frank Crisostomo

By the way, this phone will run youtube at a very low quality and only the quality of the videos will max out at 720p… The good news is that the video becomes clear with 720p.
