The 6. The sunlight legibility is quite good too while not great. The overall color tone of the display is a little cool for my eyes, with a noticeable blue tinge in white backgrounds. There was some very noticeable lag after a couple of days, with apps taking a little longer to load up, after a few days of usage. In my experience, most budget phone users will not have over 70 apps installed on their phone, as was the case with my standard Android backup. Secondly, the impatience with waiting for some games to load is largely due to me being spoilt by flagship-grade performance in my daily phone.
Neither game looked its best self on this phone, likely due to the less-than-top-tier hardware. Asphalt 9 showed some screen tearing when the cars went into hyper drive, while PUBG Mobile was smoothest at low settings.
If you are looking for a budget gaming performer, the Galaxy M20 should be better suited for the task, since it has a newer Exynos SoC. The M10 runs Android 8. One can hope that Samsung also releases One UI for its affordable lineup. This can be a major disappointment for potential buyers, unless Samsung changes its mind soon. Samsung Galaxy M Cameras Dual cameras are becoming very common in the budget segment, but not like the ones on the Galaxy M We have seen a similar sensor in action in the Galaxy A7 and Galaxy A9 and the wide-angle definitely makes certain kinds of photos look more immersive and impactful.
As one might expect the rear camera has a host of shooting modes and options. Here are some samples from the rear camera: As you can see, this is not the best example of a good smartphone camera, as the colors are definitely less vibrant than the actual scene, and the lack of detail is woefully obvious. The only positive is that the competition also has similarly average cameras in this price range. We have not really seen a budget phone with a really good camera yet.
And here are a couple of examples of the wide-angle camera in action. The lower resolution wide-angle shot has even less detail than the regular photo. These photos might not win you real competitions, but they are more than enough for Instagram, Facebook or your WhatsApp groups. These selfies are nothing great and look similar to the ones shot by the competition in this price range. The colors look muted, and the skin tone is definitely not natural. Samsung has added a Live Focus mode which helps you take shots with blurred background.
You can also add stickers to you selfies to be shared on messaging apps.
Samsung has packed in a 3, mAh battery, which falls short of what some of the competition offers — Realme C1, for example, has a 4, mAh battery. The Galaxy M10 should ideally provide all-day usage, and the smaller battery pack is likely to reduce the weight of the phone. Completely charging the smartphone took over an hour and a half. The Samsung Galaxy M10s sports a dual-camera setup. It also has a single-LED flash positioned just below the camera module.
For selfies, it has an 8-megapixel sensor positioned in the waterdrop notch. The Galaxy M10s has a dual-camera setup at the back. The camera software is similar to what we've seen on recent Samsung M-series smartphones. Apart from the photo and video modes, it has Panorama, Pro and Live Focus modes to choose from. There is a quick toggle that lets you easily switch between the primary camera and the wide-angle one.
There is AI which can recognise what the phone is pointed at and set the camera up accordingly. You can also quickly enable beautification and filters. The primary camera of the Galaxy M10s performed well in daylight, for a phone at this price, and photos looked nice on the phone's display. When we checked the photos on a computer we noticed that the dynamic range wasn't great and colours appeared a little dull.
Landscape shots taken in the day looked good but we noticed that the smartphone failed to capture minute details. We could also see grain on zooming in to the image. The wide-angle-camera does help capture a wide field of view but we noticed a loss in quality. Shots also had barrel distortion which warps everything at the edges. Samsung Galaxy M10s photo samples shot using the primary above and wide-angle below cameras.
Tap to see full size. Tap to see full-size Samsung Galaxy M10s camera samples. Close-ups were a lot better but the smartphone took slightly longer to focus than we expected. Once it did lock focus, it delivered sharp output with a natural depth effect for the background. Camera performance drops when shooting in low light. The smartphone takes a little time to meter scenes and lock focus. Photos lacked detail and big grains were visible on zooming in. Close-ups lacked detail and it wasn't easy to get the phone to focus where we wanted it to. Portraits taken in daylight had good edge detection and the Galaxy M10s lets you select the level of blur before taking the shot.
In low-light, the output wasn't sharp and grainy for our liking. Selfies have beautification enable by default and are good enough for the price but we did notice the performance dip in lowlight.
Video recording maxes out at p for the primary as well as the selfie shooter. It lacks stabilisation which resulted in shaky footage. The Galaxy M10s was launched at Rs. We like that it has a crisp display and is relatively light while still delivering good battery life.
The bundled fast charger also lets youtop the smartphone up quickly. These are things that will impress buyers who want a simple, modern, affordable smartphone. However, competition is brutal and the Galaxy M10s does not have a lot to offer in terms of performance. The display of the duo features Dragon Trail Protection.
As part of the launch offer, consumers will get double Jio Data for 10 months on recharge of Rs. You could grab a Samsung Galaxy M10 starting from Rs. Dedicated card slot Software Android 8. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
