Should I buy a S10 5G in 2025?
Hey everyone,
I'm considering buying a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G in 2025, but I'm a bit on the fence about it. I know it’s an older model (released back in 2019), but I've come across a few deals online that seem tempting. Here's where I'm at:
Why I’m considering it:
- I’ve heard good things about its build quality and display (6.7” AMOLED still seems decent).
- It has 5G support, which is rare for phones of that era.
- The price is way lower than any new flagship or mid-range device today.
- Good performance for the price.
Concerns:
- Software: It's likely not receiving updates anymore, which could be a problem for security and new features.
- Battery: Since it's an older device, the battery health might have degraded. How's the battery life for those still using it?
- Longevity: Would it even be worth it compared to a newer mid-range phone like the Galaxy A54?
If anyone has experience with the S10 5G recently or thoughts about buying older flagships in general, I’d love to hear your input. Is it worth going for nostalgia and premium build quality, or should I invest in something newer and more future-proof?
