    Didnt come with plug for double sided usbc cable
    The phone is really nice and screen is sharp. Works fast enough. Pictures I thought would be a little better quality but it does do alot of cool features. Slow motion, hyperlapse, professional ect.I did buy a separate screen protector and case. Then realized I also needed to buy a new plug cause they only sent a charging cable with both ends being usb c and no usb a? That all my plugs have. With what I had it said it would take 69 hours to charge. That's why missing 1 star

    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
    Color: BlackStyle: A15Pattern Name: Phone OnlyVerified Purchase
    This is a very nice phone. Samsung did a really good job on this one.

    The build quality is solid. The plastic case is a matte iridescent deep blackish blue and does a good job at not showing fingerprints. The AMOLED screen has good colors and perfect deep blacks. The high capacity battery (5,000mAh) lasts 7-10 days with light usage before needing to recharge. The software is typical Samsung high-quality and the Samsung-built email app is still the best amongst Android phones. The fingerprint reader on the side unlocks the phone instantaneously. The charging port is USB-C. Speed-wise, the phone is plenty fast and doesn't lag. It has 5G cell phone connectivity but you can turn it off and use 4G to save on battery life. Networking also supports 2G (i.e. GSM) that can be turned on or off. Built-in storage is a whopping 128GB. Expansion-wise, the SIM tray accepts 2 SIM cards (i.e. this is indeed a dual-SIM phone), or 1 SIM card + 1 Micro-SD card. There is a headphone jack at the bottom, next to the charging port. The phone is quite big, i.e. the screen is huge, and it's rather heavy but so are most phones nowadays. It barely fits in my pants pockets.

    This is marketed as an entry-level phone, but honestly, it has such much memory, long battery life, fingerprint unlock, 3 good cameras, dual-SIM, Micro-SD expansion, headphone jack, USB C, great software support, future-proof updates, and is quite fast, so you may wonder why you'd ever need to buy anything more expensive.

    Overall, great modern phone at a reasonable price ($200) that should work well for most people and last a long time.

    Color: BlackStyle: A25Pattern Name: Phone OnlyVerified Purchase
    TL;DR: Nice phone with a few common-sense features, and several issues.

    I'm an undemanding user, and my old A01 slowed at the end of its support life and storage was lacking. Storage was full and apps wouldn't be updated because there supposedly wasn't enough space. Wanting to avoid this, I bought something with more storage and memory this time around.

    SCREEN:
    After 2 Galaxy A15's had phantom screen press issues I decided to give the A25 a try since online resources suggested it had a different screen. Thankfully I've yet to have any phantom screen press issues almost 1.5 months since receipt.

    Unlike the A15's 800-nit screen (per gsmarena.com), the 1000-nit screen of this A25 is actually usable in sunlight. This is very important, and I feel a huge drawback of the A15.

    BATTERY:
    I subjectively feel like the A25 runs down the battery a bit faster than the A15. This does make sense given the hardware. Per nanoreview.net the SOC of this phone is more powerful than that of the A15 with a lower battery life rating. Per gsmarena.com it's got a 120Hz screen vs. the 90Hz of the A15, while both phones feature 5000 mAh batteries.

    Neither the A15 or A25 have wireless charging. I don't care. You might.

    HARDWARE:
    I DO care that both have 3.5mm jacks. They make life so much better. Locating it on the bottom, unlike the A01's top-mounted 3.5mm jack, makes it easier to route a cable when it's in a pocket or car mount.

    It supports either dual SIM or one SIM and a microSDXC. This also makes life much better. I wish it could hold 2 SIMs AND a microSDXC at once, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

    The cameras are pretty good, but get grainy/pixelated when zooming in. The notch for the front camera is fine. In fact I grew to like the status info (battery, WiFi/cellular, notification icons, etc) being at the top, next to the notch, in the A01, giving more room to apps.

    The inclusion of stereo loudspeakers is a nice upgrade from the A15. If you hold the phone at an off-angle they can sound strange due to the angle. For best results hold the phone with the screen flat toward your face.

    It gets a bit warmer than the A15. A quick internet search suggests it's the Exynos SOC.

    SIZE:
    The phone's too big*. The A01 was too big at 5.7", and the A25 is worse 6.5". I have long fingers and it's impossible to reach the top of the screen (where one might find a close or menu button in an app) one-handed without major grip adjustment, risking dropping the phone. The A01 was borderline uncomfortable in the (large) pockets of my pants, the A15/A25 cross the border. Squatting down must be carefully done lest it dig into your hip and cause discomfort or pain. Yes viewing more of web pages is nice. Yes I have to thumb to the next page of ebooks less when there are more words on-screen. Yes, more screen real estate is nice for Google Maps. But I don't NEED those things. In fact, I'd rather have an easier-to-carry PHONE, not a PHABLET I have to buy military cargo pants or a purse to comfortably carry.

    SOFTWARE:
    Mostly stable and as-expected. There are some issues but I'm not sure if I can blame Samsung.
    1. Expo Go (an app used for mobile app development) doesn't allow interaction with the app I'm helping develop. Expo Go itself works fine on both the A15 and A25, but the in-development app would appear frozen. The in-development app works perfectly on Expo Go on the A01.
    2. I set the "side button" (power button) to turn on the flashlight when double-pressed. Using the included camera app before using the side button to turn on the flashlight results in the flashlight not working. This can be fixed by clearing the camera app's cache every time you want to use the flashlight, or using a different camera app.
    For all I know there's a fix for these, but I haven't found it yet (and I've looked).

    Luckily someone at Google decided to finally build battery charge thresholds into Android, so that should help improve battery lifespan of this phone.

    Some third-party apps fail to start and require a second screen tap.

    VALUE:
    This phone is exiting the budget segment toward mid-range, but you get more for your money. More computing power, more storage and memory, an ultrawide camera, stereo speakers, a better screen than the A15, while retaining a 3.5mm jack.

    *But "the market" wants big phones (see the Marques Brownlee video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" video for more).

    Excellent value phone for money. I have used A14 Samsung phone prior and I didn't think it was that slow or bad, only the screen was not very good but this phone definitely a great budget phone. This A15 phone has oled screen so the screen is excellent like the more expensive Samsung phones , battery life is excellent, calls and texts works great on Tmobile. The only thing is the processing speed is somewhat slower but not that bad for everyday functions, some internet browsing, using apps... no regret.

    This phone is slow. Going from app to app is slow. Looking through the background apps is slow. Typing is slow - there letters on the screen are a bit behind, even when not trying to type fast. There seem to be lots of phantom touches. For example if you open a site in a browser it will start going to a hyperlink on the site before the whole page loads. Which happens SLOW even with a fast, and strong connection. The phone is supposed to have a glass back, but it feels cheap and theres flex that usually would not have with a higher end glass device. The boxy shape of the phone makes it feel bigger than it is. And its oddly heavy. Oneplus 12r would be a better option just based on software and the speed. But with the Oneplus curved screen you have to deal with all those accidental touches. But the A35 has ghost touches while the Oneplus tends to respond faster once you try to go back. The macro and the ultrawide on this phone is a waste, spare parts they threw in just because...

    I upgraded my phone from the TCL 30z which was not that good but I made it this far. When I received my phone it was in really good condition and I had no problems setting it up. I obviously got Call Of Duty Mobile, Warzone Mobile, and Roblox which runs insanely well for a 300 dollar phone. The screen is nice and does not lag at all. One of the best phones I ever had! I would recommend you get this if you have your doubts.

    I think it's one of the best affordable devices right now, it has too much stuff for the price, and if you don't want to game on it, at least not heavy stuff it will work fast. The 120hz screen and the AMOLED do wonders, and the camera takes good photos too. Keep in mind you need to have a charger since the box doesn't come with one.
