Samsung Galaxy A10 vs Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the Galaxy A10 is the cheaper option and the Galaxy S24 Ultra the premium one. The S24 Ultra has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 13MP, and the S24 Ultra supports 5G while the A10 tops out at 4G. The S24 Ultra packs the bigger battery, 5000mAh against 3400mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the S24 Ultra has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.2" and sharper at 501 PPI. The S24 Ultra is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the A10 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A10 is the cheaper buy at £80 SIM-free.
