I purchased the Galaxy A05s with my own money (over two weeks ago) and spent a lot on importing two models it to my country. I would really appreciate it if you would give me a like for the time it took to film this.

@jolenewood804 3 ай бұрын

Great review! Thank you! I have one of these phones and am really very happy with it. I've migrated from iPhone to this... basically I refuse to spend thousands on a device when all I use it for is email, browsing and some social media. This phone does more than the older iPhones and performs better - so unless you game on the phone - why bother with something more expensive? The camera is good enough and the only time I ever listen to music using this device, is in the car, via my infotainment setup, and using my JBL headphones - so the speaker really doesn't matter. Voicenotes are audible enough. Highly recommend this phone and again, thank you for your detailed review!

Had mine a week now and it's awesome. I've updated to Android 14 One UI 6.0. I turned off the 90htz refresh rate to 60, and turned on power saving mode, and disabled animations, (which has made the phone much faster) with no impact on the performance at all, and the battery lasts twice as long - you can thanke later. Wasn't aware of the force apps to sd, so I've done that, tks. It's great that you can move most apps to the sd, and uninstall others you don't want. It's good that Samsung is listening to their customers. Great review, tks. Edit: My speaker doesn't sound bad at all, and the volume is sufficient.

I couldn't help but notice you mention dark mode benefits battery life, but that only applies to OLED or mini LED displays. I believe plain white color actually draws less power on LCD. Therefore I'm curious to see the new A15, which is the first A10 series phone that will feature an OLED display.

@krollpeter 6 ай бұрын

@@annepakiam8922 I bought it and I am very satisfied. The screen is not the brightest, but it only "fails" in bright sunlight. Anywhere else it is alright. The battery life is good for me. Function-wise, it did not stutter, stumble or crash in the weeks since I have it. The phone's feel and build quality is not high level, but acceptable. It is sure adequate for the money. The device is simple and has what it needs for convenient usage. To my opinion it is the best mobile I could get at this price point at this time. I paid USD 135 for the 4 Gb. For comparison, my wife has a Nokia in the same price range. The screen is better and the device is sturdier, is better haptically feel. But the battery life is like 1 day only, and the SOC is slower. My own Xiaomi is technically better, but does not work as solid as the above two.

Wait until this guy gets a hold of Chinese budget phones. For the majority of the people outside of the NorthWest, emmc storage is actually an uncommon feature on budget devices. Most nowadays have UFS 2.1 up to 3.1 in some cases. and AMOLED panels with high refresh rates are becoming more and more common. You'd be surprised to see just how good most budget smarphones are in comparison to Samsung's own line-up. Go take a look at the Techno 20 pro or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, for example.

How can a budget phone be considered e-waaste if I can keep it arround just for calls, g.maps and browser scrolling for 4~5years? people should be reminded not everyone needs to keep the best phone characteristics possible to their budget all the time, therefore these could last as long as premium phones if they have all you really need. P.S.: thanks for reviewing this phone as something that will fit someone's needs, instead of making a "it's really bad, but then it's cheap, so it will do if you don't want to spend money" kind of review.

Correction on your dark mode comment. In this phone it doesn't help with battery life as it uses a PLS LCD. This type of screen can't turn off its pixels like an OLED can. Only an OLED really benefits from a dark screen as it literally turns off pixels to show true black.
