Thank you Will and gmsarena for this - you are always my number one go-to site for smartphone reviews. I've been vascilating over the mid-range Samsung A25 and a more expensive flagship phone. Whilst the flagship is my preferred phone it is still waaaay too pricey for what you get, including very limited OS upgrades (I am sure you can guess what it is) and I just can't justify the extra expense. After watching your review I am happy to settle for the Samsung as it ticks all the boxes for me, especially the multiple Android upgrades/security updates, headphone jack and stereo speakers. Keep up the great work, guys.
I was a Xiaomi user for 9 years. But over the last year or two, local vendors in South Africa have inflated prices to the point where Samsung now offers more performance for the price. Switched to the A25, and what a difference from my old redmi 9t. One UI is fantastic
Finally a phone on the level of the S10+ kicks around the curb in full swing. The expandable storage and headphone jack alone make this a contender for one of the best, let alone it's incredible lighting capabilities and it's fantastic accuracy and speed all-round. If it had water-dust resistance it would probably be one of the best phones out today.
Did you end up getting it? I'm on S10, it's crazy how we are considering this phone over their flagship purely for headphone jack and micro SD card slot
@@ozziekhooWe're losing the battle as years pass by. The successors of the A52S and A32 lost their headphone jacks. So might as well expect the A26 to lose it too. I used to belittle this until I checked carefully and used gsmarena's Compare tool. Camera is nearly the same with my Velvet but this one has OIS (picture). My Velvet has a hard time playing Genshin on Low but this one seems to have it fine (other vids). Would've moved to Xiaomi but they are now doing a Samsung since microsd support got taken out first followed by headphone jack with Poco F6 launch. I hate this market.
I did, it's amazing, typing on it right now, the battery lasts so much longer, and whole the ram isn't quite on-par, it keeps up with most tasks excellently
I'm due for an upgrade from my 5yr old A50. I'm not a gamer nor do I care for exceptional camera quality, but do want my headphone jack. Seriously considering getting this or the A35. Edit: Yikes, no jack on the A35.
Bazels are found in higher range phones too . The bazels on this phone doesn't keep me from seeing how nice the visuals looks its a good phone. For a budget phone. As long as you can see the screen and how good it looks its fine . And this phone rocks so does the camera . I find some of these budget phones better then the high range phones lately .more affordable and does all you need to with them interesting times . So there has to be nitpicking because its a thread to higher priced phones .
@maramee7ox884 on its own, it's not that bad of a device. It has a great camera, which is usable even on lowlight scenarios. Stabilization on all resolutions works really well. I'd say it works the best for 1080p. The insane speeds of 5G have been very helpful for me a lot of times. Although be warned, it consumes a LOT of battery. Coming from a budget phone that has a 6000 mAh battery, A25 is sort of mediocre or average sort of... It barely lasts me a day, even with 5G off, and that is on top of battery optimizations I did, in particular setting the refresh rate to automatically change to 60fps if Im watching a video or playing a game... The performance is okay if you dont use too many apps or customize OneUI using GoodLock (idk why, tweaks like Sound Assistant or HomeUp just makes the UI stutter a lot so I just stopped using them) but otherwise the experience is good with occasional lag that you might encounter. I am not that of a gamer, so I dont know the performance of FPS games, although Asphalt 9 works great! It even supports high framerate gaming on this device.
My mom's got the a14 5g and it's pretty good compared to my a50, only manko is no oled. Which the A25 has, so it should be a quite snappy phone overall. I don't quite understadn the camera thing, it says it's got a 50Mp camera but the images are only 12Mp somehow.@@maramee7ox884
Got mine, my biggest issue with a25 5g is this unit can easily get hot af. I've tried everything to limit the app running in the bg but Jesus it only helped a bit.😅
I've been using it for the past 3 days, and it makes me forget that I'm using the A25, not my A54. That said, the phone noticably lags sometimes when I use YT in pip and try to open a heavier app. Apart from that, I've been a fan of it..
@---MK--- A54 is a bit better, but battery life on A25 beats it, imo. If budget is not a concern, I'd go with A54. If budget is a concern and you are buying in US, I'd still go A54 but buy on straight talk or Total by Verizon. It unlocks after 60 days. A25 is not a bad device at all, but if you are comparing, A54 is a bit superior.
They don't want you owning a budget phone with a good looking hole punch, they want it to be functional but still a little ugly to the taste. Not like Xiaomi that you get nothing but smooth looking phones from budget to high-end. Only the features, materials and performance are different. for that, Xiaomi wins my taste
Just purchased one yesterday..so far i am loving it.only thing is i'm from Barbados and our 2 mobile service providers are still on 4G.don't know when they will upgrade to 5G.
They did not. Seems that's the future for phones. Maybe head phone jacks would be limited to lower end devices. It's unfortunate because I am not ready for wireless ear buds plus it also costs more.
I currently have the Galaxy A50 and found it to be a great phone - speakers and so forth. I am looking into purchasing a new phone (time for an upgrade - perhaps mid price range phone). I was thinking about the Samsung (5G) A25, A34 or A54... unless someone can suggest some other model (I am willing to look into another company -IF it is offers better value for my money). I do use my hands-free often (I really liked the headphone jack- could charge my phone and chat privately all in one) and would like something with a great battery life span. I would greatly appreciate any advice on which phone to consider. Thanks in advance!!
It depends on your budget. If you got more to spend then I'd suggest go for A54, however if budget is a concern, then go for A34 over A25 as it has a better chip performance (minus the earphone jack), better protection such as Gorilla Glass 5 and IP 67 rating performance that will make it more durable than A25, and also slightly better camera stabilization. In terms of usage, Samsung offers the best choice for long usage as it promised 4 years of guaranteed security update.
Greetings and courtesy to you, my dear friend, I am Iranian I wanted to thank you for the reviews you do in the field of technology (mobile phones). In my country, there are many people who are active in this field, but I can boldly say that none of them are as excellent and wonderful as you are in criticizing and evaluating the mobile phones. For example: none of these people are as skilled as you in checking the performance of mobile phone speakers. Finally, my friend, I hope you will always be healthy, successful and victorious🙏🏻✌🏻💚 ❤️
Have you checked the prices? My place sometimes sells A55 that is nearly half its launch price and were just on month 3 lmao. 😂 I think I might snag this should a banger used deal come up. Because the headphone jack may disappear on the A26.
Looking into this phone for my mother, looks like a good phone to change her old Huawei P30 Lite for, especially seeing the big battery inside this one.
2:08 my experience with the fingerprint reader is that it doesn't work well, same goes for the face-id. They just fail too often but it might be the phone and not all A25's..
If anyone is thinking about a Chinese phone as an alternative like the Xiaomi Poco X6, just remmeber that it may have a hidden spychip and preinstalled spyware. Just something else to consider.
@@Sandor7698 Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Trinity College Dublin have found that the makers of some of the bestselling Android smartphones, namely Oppo, Xioami and OnePlus, collect an alarming amount of data that can be traced back to individuals, and share it with Chinese authorities.

My mom just bought this Phone 2 weeks ago And she enjoying it Iam getting a new Samsung galaxy S24 ultra 5g with styless pen 🖊 😋 👌 with the Samsung AI Software 😋 👌 I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S20+-5G. Its worth it in 2024and beyond 😊
i have low vision, so one very important feature for me is Color Conversion. On Facebook, I must use "color conversion" so I can read the text of a post. Unfortunately, my present phone (A20) also converts the picture (making it look like a black and white negative). Do you know if the A25 will allow me to color convert text without changing the photo?
Just to add: My A51 is running Android 13. One UI version 5.1. Last security patch was August 01, 2023. The phone came out December 2019.. Still running fine.
Probably a used A55 if you don't care about the headphone jack. If your country doesn't have that, then kindly ignore this message. And oh, my place has A55 used being sold at A25 bnew prices sometimes. A55 price fell hard lmao.
The back reminds me of S5 bandaid texture. Well for this type of range A20s, for normal basic usage is good enough for someone who one to have samsung ui in hand, think Xiaomi Redmi series is more of a value imo.
Hey I just need some confirmation on the EIS/OIS on the camera for this phone. The GSM arena specs page says OIS but the review(both written and video) says EIS. Can anyone confirm if it is EIS or OIS? 😅
This phone has both OIS and EIS. However while recording videos, most phones disable OIS and use EIS only as it's more effective for video stabilization. And when video stabilization (EIS) is turned off, the phone use OIS when recording video.
@@arjunkrishna1 Thanks for the reply. OIS was a concern for me as I use my phone on motorcycle. I'm just afraid that the vibration will break the ois system even with a quad lock mount with dampeners. I'll just have to try it out to know.
have a24 hate the hell of it , the back scratches like crazy, charging sometimes goes crazy allso some wierd behaviours especially refusing to connect yo computer via usb. last Samsung shiet for me also the it's wide and never comfortable to use in one hand. next phone realme 11 pro or realme 12 pro plus or nothing phone 2a
"I like Samsung phones, but my experience with the A50s was terrible. It got stuck on the boot screen and became unusable. Although Samsung promises long updates, I'm doubtful about the longevity of their mid-range phones that don't offer high performance. This bad experience has made me hesitant to invest in Samsung again."
Im dissapointed with recent budget galaxys camera predormance, my a21s which is 4 generations older takes better photos and videos (unusable at night tho) the new phones all have this weird look to them like someone threw out half the detail and sharpened it back
At this point, soon enough. Xiaomi's gonna take over Samsung's spot for the most sales in Smartphones. Xiaomi's budget friendly phones have a Hole Punch camera and has a ton of value on its specs and features. When I look at Samsung and compare it to Xiaomi's offering on the same price range, there's no competition.

This phone has both OIS and EIS. However while recording videos, most phones disable OIS and use EIS only as it's more effective for video stabilization. And when video stabilization (EIS) is turned off, the phone use OIS when recording video.
@@arjunkrishna1 Thanks for the reply. OIS was a concern for me as I use my phone on motorcycle. I'm just afraid that the vibration will break the ois system even with a quad lock mount with dampeners. I'll just have to try it out to know.
It does have OIS for photos and it does have EIS for videos. it's both on the specs page and in the reviews.
@@GSMArenaOfficial So no OIS for videos? That's the whole point of OIS, why did they make this decision?
I currently own a galaxy s22 ultra. Next time I think I will go for one of these cheaper options, I dont play demanding games on it anyway.
I’ll be getting this, I don’t wanna spend loads of money on an IPhone
I'm absolutely buying this phone ❤
And i have finally purchased it 🎉🎉🎉❤
Do u think the front camera is good ?
Would you choose this or a A52 5G?
a25
Idk if I should get this or redmi note 13 as my secondary phonee. Oof.
Look at the bezels of budget phones of Xiaomi, Realme, Tecno, etc.
I think Samsung is loosing in every way possible.
That's right! My Redmi Note 9S from 4 years ago has a screen with fewer bezels and a much nicer design!
Anyone know the best/most recent phone with a headphone jack?? I need jt
That's a great question...
Thank you for noticing the constant 120 Hz display frequency
Very good phone for e midrange.
Special gift for my wife.
Does this smart phone have the exynos chip and Samsung processor?
medaitek
Did yall even watch the video
It has a Samsung-made Exynos 1280 - which is a good midrange processor...
does this camra make phone calls.
Still waiting for Redmi note 13 4g 🙏
People say budget phone but I'm seeing people selling it for 534 plus tax. Lol
I got it 1/2 price sale

I have a galaxy a23 good 👌
Thx 😊
I looked at one of these phones it had a very loud clicking sound when you use the power key 😞
Awesome budget phone!
No way
I have come to realize that I'm too tough on phones and spending 1300 on a phone isn't in my budget anymore
"I like Samsung phones, but my experience with the A50s was terrible. It got stuck on the boot screen and became unusable. Although Samsung promises long updates, I'm doubtful about the longevity of their mid-range phones that don't offer high performance. This bad experience has made me hesitant to invest in Samsung again."
Does it gets Galaxy AI if ot runs fully OneUI 6, not Core version of it
Is yhat similar to the 5g model?
Price 🤔
Im dissapointed with recent budget galaxys camera predormance, my a21s which is 4 generations older takes better photos and videos (unusable at night tho) the new phones all have this weird look to them like someone threw out half the detail and sharpened it back
So what are the 50mp photos like then ?
Water resistant?
At this point, soon enough. Xiaomi's gonna take over Samsung's spot for the most sales in Smartphones. Xiaomi's budget friendly phones have a Hole Punch camera and has a ton of value on its specs and features. When I look at Samsung and compare it to Xiaomi's offering on the same price range, there's no competition.
Nah, until they start giving better software support and start selling it everywhere, they're not gonna be close to Samsung's sales.
Not if they just died after only 1 year of medium-high usage.
For the second year in a row I don't see any good options in Samsung's mid-range, Redmi and other brands are far above in this range of mobile phones.
A great review as usual 👍. May get my wife one. Thanks
Does this phone has NFC or not. ?
Review a phone with good camera and medium budget in uk!
OnePlus 12R review pls
