This phone was announced on August 27, 2019, and was targeted towards the low-budget category.[2][3][4] It is the second Galaxy smartphone not manufactured by Samsung and was instead manufactured by Jiaxing Yongrui Electron Technology. Unlike the first ODM Galaxy smartphone, the China-exclusive Samsung Galaxy A6s, it is available internationally.

Rebrand
[edit]The Galaxy A10s was mentioned in the name section of the Samsung Galaxy M01s listing in the Google Play Console after its recent TUV Rhineland certification, hinting that the device would be a rebranded version of the A10s released in August of the previous year. This was further confirmed after discovering the same specifications found on both devices. However, the Galaxy M01s features a lithium-ion, instead of a lithium-polymer battery, different two-color variations, slight weight differences, and a lower price than the former.[9]
