If a better camera is important to you, the Samsung Galaxy S10 has a glass body and more versatile camera features, such as a telephoto lens and higher overall camera quality, making it a strong choice. However, if battery life is a priority, the Samsung Galaxy A15 offers a longer-lasting battery. The A15 also has a larger screen size, which might be beneficial for multimedia consumption, but it's made with a plastic back compared to the glass back of the S10. Additionally, if you prefer newer models, the A15 is more recent. Despite being more expensive, the A15 comes with the advantage of being a more recent release, potentially offering longer software support. Both run on Android and have similar storage capacities. If cost is a major factor and you can compromise on newer features, the S10 provides good value with a higher quality display and camera system at a lower price. Give Feedback

Tom's Guide
Caitlin McGarry | October 2022
"The Galaxy S10 offers superfast performance and a beautiful display, with a less distracting camera cutout than on the larger, pricier S10 Plus. If all you're looking for is a well-rounded, well-crafted Android flagship that can do it all — including work with a pair of good old-fashioned wired headphones — for a price you can sleep easy at night spending, the Galaxy S10 remains an unbeatable proposition."
