An amazing affordable phone!
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: MxJohn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Throughout my one and a half to two years having this phone, I can easily say that Samsung has really undone themselves in this series of Galaxy phones.
For one thing Galaxy AI with a mix of Google Gemini make certain internet viewing experiences an absolute breeze, personally way better than the old Google assistant in my personal opinion.
The phone in general has also been a really big help in terms of my environment, I mainly use it for everyday use but it's also very beneficial when I use it for work nevertheless working at a theme park like Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. All the tasks that I have to do on my phone are rather pretty quick with the processor and even the ram used in this specific phone. For an affordable piece of tech, it sure is a tiny powerhouse lol.
Now the user experience is very similar to all the other Galaxy phones in the A series, but one of the absolute key changes I saw a recently is when I finally got the One UI 7.0 and Android 15 update. There is a huge definite difference between that and the old One UI 6.0 and Android 14. The only problem that I did have with the phone is minor glitches and the fact that in occasions the phone slows down a tad bit that's why I only call it a "tiny" powerhouse which is expected for a budget phone but nothing to mainly be upset about.
Bottom line, it's a really great phone and I'll tend to keep it for a little while longer. Thanks Samsung!
