I just got an A25 last week. I'm really surprised at how much it offers for the cash. The speakers are surprisingly great! I'm still trying to get more natural colours from the camera, but it works fine as well. I was expecting extremely slow and choppy performance, but the cheap little Galaxy is performing well so far. Very happy with purchase.
... so gratefull for this great device, thus so affordable ! I got it on January and am so thrilled about it ! Your great comments on it are just right on ! Thanks a lot for your great job, bud !
I gone for the 256 Gb , 8Gb RAM . Lost my old phone and had to decide in a hurry, and i think i mase a good choice. With specialy the 8GB i think it is a mid range performance phone able to last for some time (if nothing wrong hapens like break the screen of my previous A14). The stereo sound is a realy nice improvement as the 120 refresh. I suppose the A15 (sucessor to the A14) already gives a reasonable response to a low budget, but if you can get the A25, you'll like it. Of course the other higher mid range A family will get improving and at the end of the game it resumes to how much you can / want to expend. If you want and have money you can go to the top models. But presently i think more and more that in the next few years the smartphones will change more and nore to maybe something even more developed, and considering the price of the top models, i don't realy think they are worth it right now being so expensive...
I just bought the A25, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've owned high end Samsung phones in the past, but this one proofs to me, that they are not worth the 4 times higher price tag at all.
@@magic-muhammed-2029 I've been having it for a few months coming from a LG 4 stylus, and a Moto G stylus and I love the Android update and phone a lot. The camera is much better in day light, still sucks and is grainy at night. Much brighter and sharper screen. I would 100% recommend. Especially since I got mine from Straight Talk at $150
Been using it for 4days, I got 6/128gb its really nice for its price especially I got mine in discounted price. I'm amazed with its stereo speaker, it has earphone jack and its processor handles app well I didn't encounter lags so far. The camera is good for me, I was also amazed that it can shoot 4k video, 50mp main cam with OIS. The battery life is good for me too, for the price I got this with, I have no issues with it.
I chose to get an A34. Similar in price and still good for 3 Android updates and 4 security updates. I think the features are better and with swapping one year less support than the A25
6 or 8 GB Ram? Is there significant difference fo custom user? I just ordered 8 GB. I use to have my phones for 5-7 years. Samsung A3 2016 at the moment, 3G, which is reeeeallly slow now, with Android 7.0 and only 1 GB Ram.
I've been using the phone for a week, everything is fine, except for one thing - it gets very hot. I don't play games. It heats up from the camera, Instagram, RUclips, Google Chrome, etc. Moreover, not only the back side, but also the screen heats up quite a bit, although I don’t use the maximum brightness. I already bought the original cover, but it is still very warm even through the cover. Is this a problem with the exynos1280 processor? Nobody really talks about this anywhere. Am I the only one having this problem?
My carrier have a good deal: every plan costumer can buy a phone from them at discount price, once a year. One payment, no credit, no strings attached. Just buying a phone a preference price. The A25, the 256gb storage and 8gb RAM its now just below $220usd They have more premium devices from Motorola at the near same price, like the Edge 40 and Edge 40 Neo. But the curved screen is a problem (at least for me) and the A25 have headphone jack and microSD card slot... ¿Do you think is a good price for the 256 / 8 version?
Had mine almost a week and debating on taking it back or not. Have had some minor issues with it, dont like the fact that its a new ohone and have already had issues with it
I've just bought this phone yesterday, and surprisingly all over the features of this phone is great. after using huawei nova 2i for more then 7 years 😂
I got the 5G stylist I've had Motorola phone since 2005 they've never failed me I can't explain how disappointed I am with this phone I'm now leaving Motorola to go to Samsung just trying to decide which phone it is I want I am looking at this model just not sure yet
The A25 should be your benchmark phone in the ~$300 range. One can find better spec. phones yet they almost always come with downsides (update is very likely one of them).
Sasmung speaks about 5years of security updates about this model and as Samsung acts lately, they even faster provide these than Google for its Pixels.
By the way, I still use a A52s from,, 2021 with android11 at the time, and I received in the summer Android 14 &One UI.6, it's still working just great, so Samsung will keep his promises, I think.
the buttons being raised on the side is a weird design decision.. it should be concaved so that the buttons are not accidentally pressed or damaged if dropped
No mention about battery perfomance?😕 And CPU is known to be crappy one from A53. Many complaints about slow perfomance and overheating. Even MTK g99 in A15 sometimes does the job better, while being way more energy efficient.
Is it true that it doesn't have no one display protection, like would be Corning Gorilla or something? That it only has an usual glass which can be scratched easily?
Fair review, I suppose. What you never seem to find in reviews is a test of how the phone acts as.. well.. a phone. What is the volume like, the clarity, the signal levels/reception quality. Is that too hard/boring/irrelevant for reviewers? Nor do we ever see a review of the Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) quality when it comes to playing higher quality music than MP3. Why is that? I just bought a dongle-DAC to play high quality music from my iPhone, which completely bypasses the internal DAC when you plug it into the charge/data transfer port, just because internal phone DACs are traditionally awful quality. If no reviewers care to review them, the manufacturers will continue to supply new phones with crap converters.

@@Chopperr_0 Yes, it's a fine phone. It's not a powerful phone, and the camera isn't perfect. But it's a pretty good deal for the money.
@@Stinger430 alright thanks
You get A LOT Phone for the money.
anyone running their A25 on ATT?
Just got the A25 yesterday. Loving it so far. Very cool upgrade
How heavy is it and does it get warm fast?
@GadgetMan-rr3ik how do you achieve that battery life?
@GadgetMan-rr3ik Im assuming your screentime is very low so your battery lasts that long.. I use the phone a lot
Underrated asf for real,
Headphone jack,
Fingerprint scanner in a button,
Really good stereo speakers, bassier than A55 and A35
Ois in 4K is good too

In the camera app there is an option to change the picture quality from 12Megapixles to the 50 it has. you might get better shots.
Do you think it’s better ?

You can buy a screen protector made of tempered glass for next to nothing, for your phone.

I don't see any pwm flickering.what is the pwm frequency
Getting mine today🎉🎉, wanted to see if it's worth it
a good 2nd phone to use w my a54 but the a15 is always sold out in my area so...
Speaker? It has stereo speakers?
Yes
Watching this video from my A25 😊
does the phone get warm when you use it ?
How long does the battery last?
62 hours
Jkd ,7 hours idk
I get over a day
How much storage possible with the SD card?
1TB
this phone be slower after 2 years?
When money would not be the issue, would you rather have the galaxy A25 or the A54??? I cant make my mind up...
The A54 but I would wait because the A55 is about to launch soon
I had the A54 with metro and that phone was a BEAST highly recommend
Thanks for your expertise. Would you also recommend the A54 for its peformance of photography..??..
Yes it’s pretty solid I have a camera review on it in my channel
@@muller_c oh yeah! It take very nice pics
Got this phone, tbh think my Realme 6 from 4 years ago is still a better phone
Which is better a35 or a25?
A35
To be honest buy a a 30 type fun it has more benefits as a cheaper phone than all they rest worth the extra 100 euro / dollars by a country mile
What is the Android OS and what will Samsung upgrade it too?
Its the latest Android 14. According to Samsung theres a promise of 4 major OS updates (I guess till 18 then)
No ingress protection, but does it really matter? 🙄🤔
Enjoyed your review
❤❤❤
A15SAMSUNG is almost the same
Great phone .
Battery life ?
Battery is faster drain
A 52s 5g from 2020 and A25 from 2023 are the same phones.
Exy modem ? Snapdragon having X modem for stable signals.
