    Hi all,

    Just wondering for anyone with a 32GB internal memory Samsung A10, with SD card slot available, what are people's thoughts on it? Is it a worthwhile purchase?
    I am upgrading from the Samsung J3, which I purchased 2 years ago with an 8gb internal memory.

    A good choice of upgrade from the old phone?

    It's similar entry level Samsung. Nothing too special.

    Not sure of your budget. This would be a better phone.
    Even if you missed out on the sports band part. Still a great deal for €129 when you switch number.

    You could wait a month and get the new A11 or the A10 then but cheaper.


    You could look at the M20 for €139 on Amazon Spain at the moment. Better spec in all areas including type-c usb. Micro-B is really behind the times now.

    M20 would be a solid choice and from Amazon too. In the unlikely event you have any issues they have a great returns/refund policy better than any b&m store.

    Thank you so much.

    Another question;

    I want to back up the text messages stored on my current phone to my new phone.

    I have heard of the app, "SMS Backup & Restore", I would use this only I don't have enough memory on my current phone to download the app to do the transfer to new phone.

    Can I save my texts to Google Drive just like my contacts?

    They should backup automatically. Just don't wipe the phone until you have restored the backup, that way if they aren't there you can still get them. You could try clearing the cache on some apps to get enough space for the app. It's not big.

    Yes, you can see your backups in he Google drive app menu. If there's none in there then you can create a backup

    Thanks all.

    I downloaded Samsung Smart Switch app for both my old phone and new phone and transferred over all of my data exactly as is from my old phone.

    One question, when inserting new sim into phone, how is it positioned in the sim tray?

    Anybody have a diagram of how it's supposed to look when properly inserted?

    Is there an app similar to Touch Wiz home ( for Samsung A10) to reset home screen layout?
    Thank you.
