I bought this phone for my grandma who needed a new phone desperately. I myself am rocking the galaxy s20 so I have know samsung for a while. For what she uses it as with talk, text and Google searches this works great. She felt weird about going from a 4.7 to a 6.5 display but she loves being able to see more clearly
Thats good since 2 +,3gs will be obsolete starting January 1st and though out depending on the phone. Many elderly have flip phones will have to get new phones .
I brought the A02s in February, so far everything is go especially the battery life. It doesn't lag out heat up even when i use an average of 7-8 hours per day. Everything is good for me but the selfie camera is a little bit below average in todays standard. I updated it to android 11 yesterday.
If you're a simple person who really doesn't care about having a bunch of apps.. taking pictures all the time.. this phone is great. Does the basic things I need just fine
Chinese companies do the same thing and reach the top ... they also have to take out phones on the conveyor belt in order to compete with the crap in China.
Thank you so much for an outstanding and detailed review! I was facing problem in taking screenshot. I tried many times but it was not working then I pressed both these buttons together slowly for a second then it worked ! Whoever is facing same issue , Don't press it for so long just press both buttons together for a second.
Dropped my phone at work last night and shattered the screen. Found the Samsung galaxy A02s at Wal-Mart for $69! After watching a review on it, I will DEFINITELY be picking it up!
I needed a temporary replacment cos my phones being repaired, This phone is actually really good! Decent camera, awesome storage, gaming is decent, for the price of $150 here, its the best cheap phone ive come across 😁
I'm using this phone now and its very worth it. The speed and the battery lfe is very solid. I just dont like the bezels and chin at the bottom because its quite thick. But overall, you get what you paid for.🤗🥰
@@chase7974 while its not the best value for several people, its perfect for me since I mostly use my phone to watch RUclips, Live streams, and surf the web. I rarely play any games on my phone, and I have heard that the SD 450 beats out the Helio G35 in terms of Graphic and Smoothness in Pubg Mobile and Cod Mobile
@@typhoon_8086 Look into Redmi 9 then. FHD 1080p screen, Helio G80, better cameras. I believe it's around $140 for the base 3gb/32gb version. For the price it's selling at they've used the best SoC. Samsung doesn't really know how to do budget phones right. A 720p screen on a 6.5 display looks terrible, and the Snapdragon 450 isn't great either.
This video really did help. I’m an iPhone user looking for an android so thank you for this video. This really did help me calm doing. I found me and my boyfriend‘s future phone.🥺👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i own an A50, pretty quick. I helped a family member today to activate his A02s. Nice build, great back. When setting up, I was surprised at how noticeably slower it was than my A50. I know it's much cheaper. But, it was slow enough for it to be annoying. The UI was pretty fluid, but it was so slow, i would save up and just get an A30. Another fam member has one and it's nice.

Great review! Senior getting first smart phone *whew*. Even after 3 mini strokes I can handle it. Need camera for Instagram and website. Battery NOT changeable ??? how long will this phone last. After this phone dies, I plan on upgrading. For $79 at Walmart in Hartwell, GA, I can't complain.
With the M11 you get some extra features not found on the A02s, like a Finger Print Sensor and the Wide-Angle Camera. Unless you really care about those features, the A02s is a solid budget phone from Samsung
I generally like the way budget phones are going (except adding many useless cameras) but I feel like this particular samsung phone could be 10-15% cheaper. I got meizu 16 6/128 version (no expandable storage though) for 5$ more in late 2019 and it has snapdragon 710, amoled full hd with underscreen fingerprint scanner, solid camera with ois, definetely better than here, great speaker but a much smaller battery (3100 vs 5000). Still if I had to pick a phone between the two now I would have 100% gone for meizu 16. P.S. Also samsung a02s doesn't compare very good to poco m3 which even Mkbhd made a video on.
good overall review but do a better test on games. Pick a little graphics intensive games. Because such games test the display, the graphics processor and overall speed. Its not a flagship or mid range phone sure but there are a lot of graphics intensive games that are on the mid to low level phones that you can use to test it. Battery, Graphics and Speed all tested just by playing such games.
I also heard that some phones don't come with chargers any more. I also know some people who wouldn't buy them ONLY because of such a ridiculous thing!!
I’m getting this phone in a few days cause I’ll be getting $500 for doing some work with my dad and I need a phone for when I start school back up and I’m getting this phone or the A10e but I’m probably gonna stick with this phone and just deal with it

Why do Samsung release a new phone every 45 minutes?
Make sure you have options and keeping a new buyer from another brand creates a life long customer
That's nice
