[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many different types of phone's above all of them, my best experiences have been with Samsung.
Quality, Easy-to-use,efficient and reliable,
The picture Quality is one of the best that I have used,even the user facing camera takes a high quality picture, software is easily used and understood,set-up is not hard to finish and there's the audio,sound production and play back are not bad, something to say without downloading an equalizer and booster,touch screen control is very spot on. I'll have this one for a few years, one of the best phone's I've ever had,and I will get more Samsung phones in the future .

Not great ok
on June 29, 2026
Posted by: Sava13
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this phone when I was forced to switch to tmobile. My initial experience wasnt great because my stuff didnt switch over when it was supposed to. Also, I couldn't make calls right away. That couldve been a carrier issue. The phone is so slow, im a gig worker. It was snail slow switching between apps, trying to work. I switched back to my a25.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ✅ Large 6.7-inch AMOLED display
✅ 5,000 mAh battery
✅ microSD card slot for expandable storage
✅ Up to 6 years of software updates, which is excellent for a budget phone.
Tom's Guide +1
Cons:
❌ Slow Exynos 1330 processor, so apps and multitasking can lag
❌ Cameras are only average
❌ Display isn't very bright outdoors
❌ Single speaker instead of stereo
