Samsung announces the Galaxy A10s - 4,000 mAh battery and fingerprint reader

Samsung has just taken the wraps of its latest A-series phone - as the name implies, the Galaxy A10s is a refresh of the original Galaxy A10 with a couple of key improvements. It adopts a larger battery and adds a rear-mounted fingerprint into the mix - something the standard A10 was missing.

The phone features a 6.2-inch IPS Infinity-V screen (so a v-shaped notch) with a resolution of 720 x 1520px. It is powered by an octa-core CPU (4 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 4 cores running at 1.5GHz). It also packs 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage expandable via microSD.

The camera setup on the back consists of a 13MP main unit with f/1.8 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor. The notch houses an 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture supporting face unlock.

The whole thing draws juice from a generous 4,000 mAh battery (600 mAh up from the standard A10) and runs on Android 9.0 Pie with One UI on top.

The Galaxy A10s in different colors

Availability is yet unknown but we do know the Galaxy A10s comes in four different colors - Blue, Green, Red, Black.
