The company’s new product Samsung Galaxy M10 has come in the market. The new handset is extremely different from Samsung’s portfolio so far. Samsung kept distance from the first Nokia design. But it was adopted with the Galaxy M series. Samsung Galaxy M10 and Samsung Galaxy M20 The company coming with Waterdrop Notch has initial phones. We have reviewed the new Samsung Galaxy M10 for you and have reached this result …
Samsung Galaxy M10 Design
Samsung Galaxy M10 The most important feature of its screen is. It comes with waterdrop notch with space for the front camera. There is earpiece on the edge at the top above the camera. We have got a glimpse of this design in phones like OnePlus 6T and Oppo F9 Pro. There is a very thin black border on the four edge of the screen.
The rear and edge part of Samsung Galaxy M10 is plastic. The edges are curved. Ports and buttons are on their standard position. The speaker is at the rear of the grill phone. This design was used until a few years ago. Now it is not so. It seems shocking, because if you place your phone on the back of a surface, the sound comes a bit slow from the phone. The effect also falls on the ringtone.
On the back on the back, there is a dual rear camera setup and a flash on the left side. It is good to see the blue color variant we got for review. But it easily gets fingers on it.
The phone has different slots for SIM and microSD cards. Many users will like this. It is worth noting that there is no fingerprint sensor in Samsung Galaxy M10. The phone has a face unlock feature for biometric security.
The screen of the phone is 6.22 inches. This is a ‘Infinity-V’ display with HD+ resolution. This name is given due to the size of the notch. Complaint is with its resolution. You will get 19: 9 aspect ratios, but the display is not sharp. There is no problem in common use, such as using WhatsApp.
Samsung Experience UI also looks fine in low resolution. However, many apps were clearly visible on the edges of the icons. We were not much impressed by the screen while watching Netflix and playing basic games like subway surfers.
We did not like Colors and Brightness. Things do not look great in wider viewing angles. The screen looks dull. We liked the screen due to size, proportion and edge-to-edge design.
Samsung Galaxy M10 Specification and Software
Talking about the specification, Samsung Galaxy M10 disappoints. It has a 1.6 GHz clock speed octa-core Exynos 7870 processor. This chipset has been used in Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) launched in 2016. It was a competent processor at the time of launch. But with the passage of time, it looks weak in front of its challenges.
You will get two options based on RAM and storage- 16 GB storage with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage with 3 GB RAM. The phone has dual VoLTE connectivity. We got an expensive variant of Rs 8,990 for review which is 3 GB RAM. The second variant is cheaper by Rs 1,000.
You will get a 3,400 mAh battery. A 5 watt charger has been given with it. Given the price and specification of the phone, the battery capacity is sufficient. But the charger given with it is very slow. Slow charging causes disappointment. The phone battery takes more than 3 hours to get full charge. Micro-USB technology has been used in the phone for data transfer and charging, which is extremely old. The handset is also 3.5mm connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy M10 runs on Android 8.1 Oreo. Above it is Samsung Experience 9.5 UI. The UI of Samsung Galaxy M10 is also similar to other Samsung phones. The software of the Samsung smartphone of recent times has improved, but there are still many unwanted apps. You will get many Samsung’s system apps, selected Microsoft apps and daily hunt in the phone. Not each of these apps can be uninstall. It is disturbing, especially in 16 GB storage variant.
We considered it appropriate to use PIN for security in the phone. The face unlock feature also takes a few seconds time to unlock the phone and does not work despite having enough lights many times.
Samsung Galaxy M10 Performance and Battery Life
The old chipset affects the performance of Samsung Galaxy M10, which is a disappointing thing. The delay is clearly visible in many tasks. Whether you are switching from the camera to the gallery to see the captured shot, or reloading some background apps again. Multi-tasking is also not smooth. We also realized the leg in UI.
3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage are common in the price range of up to Rs 10,000. Samsung has given this setup for Rs 8,990. There will be no problem in using common apps. We tried to play PUBG mobile game on this phone. As expected, the experience was very bad. There were many problems about performance in Lost Graphics Settings.
In our video loop test, the 3,40 mAh battery of Samsung Galaxy M10 died in 14 hours and 29 minutes. The phone easily supports the common use throughout the day. The credit for good battery life will go to HD+ resolution and low power consumption processors.
As we told you earlier, the biggest drawback is slow charging.
Samsung Galaxy M10 Camera
Samsung Galaxy M10 has a dual rear camera setup. The primary sensor is 13 megapixels and the secondary sensor is 5 megapixels. The secondary sensor is used for ultra-wide angle photography. It can be selected through the camera app in smartphone. You will also get a 5 megapixel front camera. You will be able to record full-HD videos from both camera setup.

Given the price, the camera of Samsung Galaxy M10 is not bad. But it cannot be called too good. At first glance, pictures taken from Samsung Galaxy M10 look good. But when noted, there is a lack of details and grains. Colors come a little bit. The photos look more dark than the actual scene.
With the help of wide-angle mode, you will be able to take some interesting pictures. This is excellent for landscape shot. But the pictures still come. However, the extra room in the frame definitely adds a little character to the photos.
Macros and close up shots taken in low light are fine. But grains are seen in distant pictures. In addition, the light part in the photographs becomes oversposed. Video records are fine. But due to lack of stabilization, video sakes are recorded. Overall, the cameras of Samsung Galaxy M10 are satisfactory. But you do not expect much from them.
Our decision
Galaxy M10, with a starting price of Rs 7,990, is the most affordable phone of Samsung to today’s date. This phone has many important features, such as modern design and reliable battery. And the most important price is.
However, Samsung Galaxy M10 is far from perfection. The reason for the best battery life is the two important flaws of the phone- HD+ resolution screen and old processor. The phone of size and dimensions gets a modern look. But our expectation is not as expected. The performance of this device is weak at average. The camera is also not successful in doing anything special.
Samsung Galaxy M10 handset is for Samsung fans looking for modern design. But according to us in this price range Realme c1 And Xiaomi Redmi 6 There are better devices. If you want to buy Samsung Galaxy M10 only then we will suggest you to buy 3 GB RAM/ 32 GB storage variant.
