If camera quality is important to you, the Samsung Galaxy Note10 would be the better choice; it offers a better overall camera experience, particularly in video with higher resolution/framerate capabilities and video stabilization. However, if you value longer battery life and a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals on your screen, then the Samsung Galaxy A25 is advantageous in those areas but with poorer camera performance. The Samsung Galaxy A25 has a larger screen size, which might be preferable if you enjoy a bigger display. Both phones come with Android, but the A25 is more recent. The Note10 also offers a premium-feel glass back and an integrated stylus, which could be a significant advantage if you tend to use your phone for productivity tasks or enjoy the precision of a stylus for drawing and note-taking. The Galaxy Note10, being an older model, offers more storage capacity compared to the A25 but has a slightly smaller screen size. Give Feedback

Adam Ismail, Mark Spoonauer | June 2021
"The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 delivers epic battery life and a super-bright screen in a phenomenally compact design. The regular Note 10 should be a very special phablet — precisely because there's never been one this compact and easy to live with before."
