Samsung S10 Release Date + Screen Size Improvements

The Samsung Galaxy S10 was released in 2019 and was a game changer for the standard S Series lineup annually offered by Samsung. For customer sitting on the sidelines with their S8 or S9, they definitely saw a reason to shell out and upgrade. 

With a 6.1" Dynamic AMOLED HDR10+ display, it is a visible improvement on the 5.8" display that customers with a Galaxy S9 are accustomed to. It also comes with battery improvements - 3,400mAh instead of 3,000mAh with the S9 and the ability to reverse wirelessly charge devices at 4.5W. 

Buying A Used Galaxy S10 - Worth it in Ontario?

The mobile device market is certainly different in Ontario, and with carriers incentivizing upgrades and long-term contracts so much it can help knowing your options in terms of purchasing a pre-owned S10 device. 

If you're looking for a solid upper end Android device with a noticeably better screen than those cheaper cell phones under $200, the S10 - which is only 3 years old - still a great option in 2022. 

The OLED screen is definitely something that stands out, but these type of displays can be sensitive and hide deep scratches or heavy signs of aesthetic wear and tear. Avoid purchasing one off Kijiji or Facebook marketplace where it can be hard to see or test for issues with the AMOLED. Some issues can be intermittent and not easily recognizable until after some time using the phone. That can be either aesthetic or functional. All SimplyFixIT devices come with a 1 year warranty and while they are certified pre-owned and will have minimal signs of wear, it will never be deep scratches or affect functionality.  

Similar and newer devices like the Samsung Galaxy A12 come in at $250+, and have a visibly less vibrant LCD display, weaker CPU but do have a bigger battery. Our recommendation for customers looking for speed and an aesthetically lighter, slimmer and better looking device would be to stick to the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10e for marginally less. 

Android updates are often prioritized for popular flagship devices like the S10 and the Samsung A Series are meant for users that want a slimmed down experience that prioritizes value over performance.
