  • The Samsung Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A25 are great devices in their own right, but in this video, I touch on some of the reasons you might want to look elsewhere.

      Very useful! I was looking around for what people thought about these phones before buying them, and assuming your points are the strongest ones someone could come up with against picking up one of these phones, I think that's a strong argument in *favor* of these phones.
      I do not care about accessories or that the aesthetics of my phone appear up-to-date. I care about the functionality of the phone itself. And since I didn't hear you comment on any problems with the phone's functionality, that puts it high on my list of possible purchases.

      @@zoopa9988 yeah it's definitely a great phone too but the only problem I see in it is it's processor, the SD 680 is so bad as it makes the phone lag around all the time while Helio G99 is a great chipset and doesn't even heat that much and reaches around 37 degrees after 30 mins of gaming and 43 degrees is it's max temperature which is really good and it also has excellent battery life. The A15 also has a super AMOLED display which is really good as it's made by Samsung
      One of the highlights of the A05s is its 1080p@60fps recording capability (with terrible stabilization though)

      Apple offers longer software support but I still jumped ship from an iPhone 5s to a Samsung Galaxy A14.
      The iPhone 5s has served me well for many years but essential apps stopped working due to Apple dropping support and since the cheapest new iPhone you can get is the SE costing 560,- euros I thought, why not try Android, It's way cheaper and I may enjoy Android OS more, definitely worth the risk given the fact the Samsung Galaxy A14 was only 140,- euros when I bought it, which is 4x as cheap. Very happy with the phone and I ended up preferring Android OS over IOS.

    Software tramples Hardware all the time. With a samsung phone like a15 you will get until android 18. With tecno you will stay on android 13 for as long as you have the phone meaning you will be outdated for a while. A tecno can come with a curved screen, 65W charging speed but I'd still take a Samsung with a u-shaped notch and a 25w charger. I do not hate tecno or infinix or other specs-filled devices competing with samsung but I have never heard someone say that it was the best phone they have ever had.

    A15 vs 15 Pro Max: the Samsung any time, at 1/10th the price, it is astonishing and offering stuff Apple can't fix. My top reasons for the A15: Tweakability, Less forced apps (you can bypass all Google crapware if you like, on Apple you sink in the stink of the iOS bundled app swamp), Firefox with Adblocker (hello Apple!), USB mass storage/fast charging, 3,5mm jack, SD card slot, fingerprint scanner in the on-switch and it feels as premium as the 15 Pro Max. The only dodgy thing is it tried to install Temu, Tik Tok and Candy Crush.... Guess they need some junk firms to pay the bill at Samsung. It was easily deleted though.

    Why avoid Samsung Galaxy A25 and Galaxy A15? Most likely because these two models have
    3.5 mm headphone jacks and the majority of Samsung phones now are upper end ones with no 3.5 mm headphone jacks. I was told by some sales people that Samsung is pushing mostly expensive phones without 3.5 mm headphone jacks so you can buy their bluetooth ear buds etc., some very expensive. I have three Samsung phones A14 4g and A15 5g and I absolutely love them!! I get to use my regular headsets- no thanks to earbuds as well.

    Only would say that Option 1 with the accessories. Most major phone companies don't include much else besides the phone, and a cable. Most people have a charging brick or have a nicer one they already have from like amazon.
    Also for a bit extra people could just buy used older flagships. Could get a S21 for the same $200 price tag or get a s22/s1 ultra for $300 and get much better performance and better overall phone.
    Really hope they stop making the A series and just make the first tier S series a bit less to push those more.

    At the price they're selling, no complaints for me. You get what you pay for. Want better phones with more features? Be prepared to pay for them.
    Btw, I'm only talking about the SAMSUNG brand.

    I prefer Samsung but my A 15 has been one picky bi**h. Much better since 6.1. 10 × better than brand new. 🎉🎉

    First of all Samsung Produces different series every year (A series,S series, (I don't know if they still making M series) so they need to make the phones different so if you want better experience buy the company flagship product (S series). And about the chargers and everything. Everyone has chargers already why need more?? And they said they do that now for the sake of environment. You get what you pay for low budget phone don't expect much.

    Seriously, these so-called reviewers can front t a nonexistent agenda.
    Always blowing hot air. Leave consumers to their preferences.
    It's is these same flaws that have you to get a CZcams job. Without them what would you rant about?
