While checking prices, I visited local shops and compared listings from Bangladeshi online sellers. Huawei nova 3i is no longer officially sold, so it mainly appears as used or refurbished units, which directly impacts price variation and condition. Samsung Galaxy A10 was officially available before, but now most units are also used. Despite its age, nova 3i often costs more due to better overall performance perception. The Galaxy A10 stays cheaper because of its entry-level hardware and lower demand.

Based on informal market observation, many available units show noticeable battery wear, and several Nova 3i devices appear to have replaced displays. These are not officially verified details, so buyers should inspect each unit carefully before purchasing.

From the first week of gaming, the difference was clear. Huawei nova 3i’s Kirin 710 handled PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile on low to medium settings with acceptable stability. Long sessions caused warmth but remained playable. Samsung Galaxy A10’s Exynos 7884 struggled beyond Free Fire, with PUBG limited to the lowest settings and frequent stutters. My experience matched expected performance trends, but real comfort favored nova 3i. In the same price range, phones like Redmi Note 7 still perform better than both.

The Nova 3i tends to lose charge more quickly during gaming sessions, while the Galaxy A10 holds on a bit longer per hour but does so with noticeably lower performance.

During daily use with Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, and Airtel, both phones supported 2G to 4G LTE. Huawei nova 3i held LTE signals more consistently indoors and during congestion. Samsung Galaxy A10 delivered clear calls but dropped mobile data more often. Wi-Fi stability was also stronger on nova 3i. Newer budget phones now offer better band support than both.

In my regular shooting, Huawei nova 3i produced sharper daylight photos and more balanced colors. Portrait shots were usable and more consistent. Samsung Galaxy A10 worked fine in good light but struggled indoors and at night. Low-light noise and focus issues were more noticeable on A10. Overall, nova 3i delivered more dependable results. Phones like Redmi Note 8 outperform both today.

Using both phones side by side, nova 3i’s Full HD+ IPS LCD display felt noticeably sharper. Text looked clearer, and videos were more comfortable to watch. Galaxy A10’s HD+ TFT panel appeared softer and less visible outdoors. Indoor use was acceptable, but sunlight readability was weaker. AMOLED display phones in this range offer better viewing comfort.

Huawei nova 3i suits users who want smoother daily performance, more reliable cameras, sharper display quality, and steadier 4G connectivity in Bangladesh. It fits social media users, video viewers, and light gamers better.
Samsung Galaxy A10 is more suitable for basic calling, messaging, light app use, and longer idle battery time, especially for users who prefer a simple and budget-friendly smartphone experience.
