- Samsung's Galaxy S10 is still a worthwhile option for those who want a new phone but are looking to spend less than $1,000.
- The Galaxy S10, despite being a year old, still has a great camera and many of the same features as the Galaxy S20, like an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a sharp ultra-wide-angle camera, and a crisp borderless screen.
- The main features that distinguish the Galaxy S20 from its predecessor are its support for 5G, its larger, upgraded camera sensors, its extra memory, and a screen that can reach a higher refresh rate.
- If you don't care about 5G connectivity, especially since the network is only currently available in select areas of the US, and are looking for a phone that can take high-quality photos but don't necessarily care about having a super-premium camera, than the Galaxy S10 is worth considering.

Samsung's Galaxy S20 just debuted this week, but don't underestimate last year's Galaxy S10.
Although the Galaxy S20 brings new features like an improved camera with a 64-megapixel telephoto camera - and a 108-megapixel wide-angle camera on the Ultra model - there are plenty of reasons to consider the Galaxy S10. Even though it doesn't have the newest camera, it still has an impressive triple-lens setup capable of taking rich and clear photos.
It also lacks other improvements like a screen with a higher refresh rate and more RAM, both of which should make the phone feel a bit faster. But even without these upgrades, the Galaxy S10 performs just as quickly and smoothly as you probably need it to.
Here's a closer look at why you should consider choosing the older, cheaper Galaxy S10 over the Galaxy S20.
