What i think on the Galaxy A15 5G
on July 23, 2025
Posted by: Love2girls
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Display & Battery:
The Galaxy A15 has a bright and colorful Super AMOLED display with a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate—great for watching videos or scrolling through apps. Its 5000 mAh battery easily lasts a full day (or more), and while the 25 W fast charging is decent, just keep in mind the charger might not be included in the box.

Software:
It runs Samsung’s One UI, which is clean, easy to use, and full of handy features like Modes, Routines, and customization options. One of the best parts? Samsung promises 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches, which is rare for a budget phone.

Gaming & Performance:
Performance is solid for everyday use and casual gaming. Games like Mobile Legends and PUBG run smoothly on medium settings. But if you’re into more demanding titles like Genshin Impact—or if you multitask heavily—lower RAM models (like the 4 GB version) might struggle a bit with lag and slowdowns.

AI Features:
AI tools like photo editing, live translation, and text summarization aren’t available on the A15. Those features are still exclusive to Samsung’s higher-end phones. There might be a few basic AI-powered tools added in future updates, but nothing major for now.

What to Consider:
The A15 doesn't have water resistance, only has a single bottom speaker, and the extra cameras are pretty basic. Charging is slower if you use an 18 W charger, and the bezels around the screen are a bit chunky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GalaxyAI is impeccable, I am disappointed there's no auxiliary hole for wired headphones. The phone display motion is beautiful and the audio is outta this world

Hey There Lyrical,
We are pleased to hear that your A16 5G is impressing you! We always strive to push boundaries and bring new experiences with every update. Even though many Galaxy devices no longer have an audio jack, this change helps keep everything better aligned with the universal USB-C port, which can do so much, handle audio, charge your device, and transfer data when needed. The Galaxy A16 5G provides a wonderful experience with its large 6.7" Super AMOLED display and sleek, slim design. Thanks for sharing the love.
From Samsung, with brilliance!

THE BEST PHONE EVER
on July 23, 2025
Posted by: MrMakeStuffHappen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The video quality in the phone is perfect. Galaxy AI is the best of the best. Streaming movies and videos are better than the actual television in my opinion. A16 moves at super high speed. I love it.
