I just got this phone and love it so far. I literally ordered it online, added a sturdy case and had it delivered to my workplace in about 40 minutes, all for under $200 inclusing taxes and delivery fees/tips. It is a lot of bang for your buck as they say. Some of the features I like are the screen quality, fingerprint reader, micro SD card capability and the food old fashioned head phone jack.
Had an A15 5g for a little while, before having to switch back to at&t, now having a base s24. The s24 may be more premium, but i genuinely miss my old A15 5g. That thing rocked.
I previously owns galaxy m31 since 2020, now i bought galaxy a15 5g new , experience is awesome fluid, lag free, 5g network coverage is awesome, battery performance in 5g is awesome, sound is loud and clear. I'm from india, my first phone was also Samsung in 2008,
@@abcr1998 camera quality in pixels and clarity is better than m 31, but you would not be able to find special camera moments such se slowest motion video which m31 provides, a 15 5g also provide but not better than m31 in this super slow mode.
@@synapticflow I own a15 5g version with 6gb ram. And also I have m31 6gb ram. But keep in mind if you want to buy 6gb version a15 5g, then once in 24 hrs you must restart your phone to clear extra memory, if you can buy then always go for 8gb ram
Just got this because my trusty A51 BRICKED! Good thing I had everything backed up. I really like the fingerprint reader on the thumb instead on the screen. Got a really good armor case for it and it feel rock solid. Looking forward to a good long life with it!
I've had a A51 for around 3 years and it was my favorite phone I've ever owned.I just got an A15 yesterday and I haven't even took it out of the box yet
@@jaydee0187hey how was your a15? Cause mine is kinda yellowish I try to take a photo and send it to my other phone and the difference is very noticeable its more in a yellowish side
My new phone got stolen (s24, no insurance, yeah I know lol). Had to pull my backup phone out of retirement (iphone 8 plus, still in great condition, using it right now btw) but that left me having to buy another phone outright (I keep 2 phones). Found this phone on Amazon and should receive soon. Didn’t think “cheap” phones still existed but I’m so glad they do. I don’t need all the bells and whistles so this A15 will be just fine for my needs but its funny to think this “cheap” phone is basically what phones were 5-10 years ago lol. Amazing.

That's what I'm thinking too acually. I bought it for my son but think it's acually better for my mom who's 75...my kid needs more ram for gaming stuff
Was at the store yesterday, couldn't help noticing the Galaxy A15 has a yellowish tint on its display, eventhough the eye comfort feature has been unchecked. Comparing it side by side with the A05, the latter didn't have the same prob.
erm. you can change that in the settings. You can change the hue of the display and make it a few notches warmer or cooler. That phone was on a warmer tone display setting! LOL
#1, too heavy. Much of what you said is Greek to me LOL. I do agree with the charging. I wasn't thrilled to have such a ton of apps pre loaded, but I'm an old lady & mostly just use phone, messaging and maps.
It as heavy as you think, feels ok. I put this down to plastic back had this been say iPhone pro would be heavier. Surprised me tbo no heavier than say S21FE
Overall, this seems like a great device. Would you say all areas of performance are really good? Multitasking, phone calls, texting, etc. I really wish Samsung would have put dual speakers on this phone and given it some form of protection. Both gorllla glass and water/dust resistance. It doesn’t have to be top of the line protection but something.
I would say for a budget phone there are many upgrades here coming from the a14 5g and it works great for budget phone users in all those aspects. Don't expect anything amazing if you are used to flagship or midrange devices. True, I was hoping for that as well.
Hmmmmm, you didn't mention, either in your pros or cons opinion, anything regarding the camera system. I know people who do want a budget-type phone with a good camera. I enjoy your reviews a lot and have suggested several phones to friends and family based on your videos.
iam a long term samsung user. decided to change to other due to exynos issue since iam a gamer. decided to go with redmi pro 13+.but it became expensive. so came back to samung again and torn between m34 and A15. leaning more towards A15 due to its dimenity 6100+ comared to m34 exynos 1280. hope samsung releases more midrange with other chips
What I don't like is the on/off button it sits flush with the phone itself ....everything in settings are a little awkward & hard to find what your looking for....I'm old school and use to an older galaxy so my complaints probably dont apply to the computer minded generation
Charging the a14 might be set to adaptive so it slow charges then hurrys up the last 20% depending on how long you leave it on the charger. Not sure if you messed with it yet.
Thanks for the review ! I was also disappointed that the A15 has 4Gb of ram in 2024. Teardrop notch vs punch hole doesn't bother me. No 25 watt charger included ?? Come on. Like the 4 year OS upgrades and brighter , smaller super amoled screen. On the fence though. Considering Moto g power 5G. 2023.. more ram,(6Gb) more storage , stereo speakers Even though it only has 1 upgrade to Android 14, its always goes on sale(199.99 unlocked). I still have a moto g Play from 2018,lol .Samsung phones never go on sale (unlocked) even when new models are about to come out.
I've been a Motorola girl for the past 3 phones. I'm now looking at Samsung. The Motorola customer service is excellent as I've sent the past 2 phones in for issues. Both were still under warranty. One was either repaired or I received a new one. The second one sent in was refused as they found water, which I'm clueless, phone was NEVER near water. Since I did have problems with 2 phones within the first year, I decided to try the Samsung, so this is part of my research. Thanks so much for this video. You're very thorough.
@@jhohnke I've just looked at the 2024 Motorola G power 5G but now the screen size is 6.7 inch.....not for me ! What's with these phone companies and large displays ? Anyway , i guess I'll stay with the Samsung A25 in the fall. Amazon just had a slight discount on the phone (Discount not from Samsung) I'll wait until the fall to see if Amazon drops the price again ,more than 12% !
SD cards are used for external storage of photos or extra storage of apps. Samsung has a feature called RAM Plus built into the phone .It uses internal storage to use as virtual memory to improve app performance .However, it will be slower and uses more power.
Am a seventy-year-old new Galaxy A15 user. It's been less than two weeks. As a senior, there's always a learning curve on any new device. The user manual is a joke! What's the deal with a C-to-C charger cable? Luckily, I still had a C to USB charger cable from my old phone.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. The C to C charger is just a new charging style for more effective charging. I don't like it either since it makes most people go out to the store to buy a compatible charger haha. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great review. It made things much more clear for me and helped me in making my decision. Even though I don't subscribe to tech channels because I'm not really into that kind of stuff, I subscribed to yours. Very much appreciated.
Mine has been freezing up, and at times, you can't restart it or shut it off. Coming from far more expensive phones it's fine but I don't like how thick it is and the size is too short but I knew this going in. I don't like the power button as it seems harder to find than most others at night. The screen capture works, but it was far easier to find and figure out on my previous phones. In the end I am fine with it. The freezing started after the last update, and hopefully, it will get sorted out.
I don't know what phone you have and it keeps freezing up but if it's a Samsung a 155 G model there's something wrong with this device I'm a good smartphone user and I know how to work a phone
I was going to choose his phone but it was the only phone MetroPCS had in stock. It's been acting up every since the second I purchased it. By maybe they sold me a phone that wasn't compatible for me. I do know one thing I'm taking it back to MetroPCS I pay for insurance I want a different phone for the same cost. It doesn't charge right and the charge doesn't hold. And then I have to recharge. I think something is wrong with the entirely with the samsung A15 5g I got.
Ok brought today wow just wow what bang for buck…. 4gig ram runs smooth loud sound..iPhone feel to it no lag , refresh rate great … android 14 . Samsung u done good. For this price why buy flagships camera nice photos. 🎉🎉
I have the Samsung Galaxy A15 5 G, but some of the texts I receive say to tap & download, but nothing the little blue thing just keeps circling. How can I fix this so I get to read all my text messages?
As an older person who wanted just a Phone simple and simple. This phone is not simple. I came from a LG K8. Which was simple. I only use a few apps. PHONES should only come with a few apps and allow us to add what we want. I like using Maps apps and geocache. Both needing a GPS sensor, triangulation and It has a crappy Sensor!!! It can only get to within 12 meters. Vs 3 meters of my older phone. I'm So disappointed I've gone back to using my older phone.
In just my day to day living I have never heard anyone complain about the bezels on their phones. Except tech RUclipsrs. Also once you slap an OtterBox (my choice of case) on your phone you literally don't notice them anyway. As long as the viewing experience is good and the battery life is good I am very happy with this phone.
My pro: Pretty decent budget phone for 2024 model of phones. My con: It doesn't have a slot for both a SIM 2 and a microSD card. Although they did compensate with their 125Gb of storage. In all, it's a pretty nice phone for minimalist users.
Thank you for saying it's not waterproof. It's an important thing if you live in Ireland where it rains often. My modest Oppo a16s is waterproof and is going strong after 2 years.
@@TechRightthank you for this review. What do you think between buying the Google Pixel 7a and the Galaxy A15 5G? Here in Canada the Samsung A15 5G is about $283 and the Google pixel 7a is about $400. Which is better between the 2? I appreciate your feedback
I was so happy to learn from the comments here that I could insert my SD card under the SIM card, but the photos on the SD card came up as distorted, although on my computer, they looked just fine. We removed & re-inserted the SIM & SD card several times, but it didn't help the distortion. Also we rebooted the phone several times. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Loved the video!
This is not a mid-range lmao... The a54 is bottom barrel mid-ranger, have both phones and both are stutterfest specially on 3d games despite lowest in-game settings and optimizing phone with debloat and everything.
@dainey I have many devices including a15 5g and a54. When I get a device I benchmark it, especially with heavy games so whether you agree or not doesn't change my experience and I'm just sharing mine.
@@WreckerALeX Well most people typically don’t game on their phone, and you called the a54 a bottom barrel mid ranger which just isn’t true statistically. Do you know any other phones under $400 that gets you more value than the a54?
My A15 5G's screen is far too sensitive. I bump it, switch hands, etc, it lights up, leading to opening apps by "accident". It's a nearly constant problem. The slow charging has only recently become a problem.
Helpful review, thanks. I was looking at getting this but devices not to after this. I can pick up a better second hand phone that's not much more expensive. Now to decide which one.
@@WreckerALeX I brought it not to bad really, it’s ok 👌. Battery life is the bomb. Least not 240g like pro max 😂. Might have to start lifting weights 🏋️
I suggest you to get a Motorola they take the best pictures they're good in charging and the charge last forever the Samsung a15 which I just got a month ago. It takes forever to boot up
@@HollyA-yd2bt had a lot of Motorola but my last one was a lemon turn off the phone loose picture movie or apps battery goes to 0 same thing had an upgrade same thing always bought moto G but last year bought a edge 2022 because no moto G 2023 in one year that moto edge was sent to be fix 5 times was so fed up I call my cell provider and yell at them for 40 minutes!! When I get my new phone the edge will become a "clay pigeon"
@richardweiler6931 well I bought this phone from MetroPCS on the 1st of March . Unfortunately this is the only phone they had in stock and I have no idea why
Both phones look premium equally because Samsung phones are made to look the same 😅so come on .but i get It its advertising. Marketing. But you know i hope this new one is as good as the A14 one.
Amoled is inferior regardless of slight contrast. I will look for my favorite ips display any day it's more robust from breaking, brighter in the sun, better viewing angle, more accurate color. Thanks for reviewing
I had an issue with my new A15 communicating with Android Auto on my truck. All my other phones have worked over the years, not this one. It takes forever to load and none of the touch screen features work. The map eventually loads, but does not track my progress. I have arranged for a replacement with my provider, so hoping the new one will work okay. Anyone else have an issue with Android Auto and the A15?
As of Nov 22, 2024, Amazon has this phone at $115, 'refurbished'(Excellent condition). Just bought one and will try it with Mint mobile. Can you believe Deadpool has a phone company🤯
For the price, it's worth it. Cam and vids are decent. I had a galaxy s22 Ultra, I cracked the screen. Got this phone as a holdover and honestly I could use this phone all the time and not even miss the other one, which was a 1200 dollar phone.
@akeemmissouri4716 You want to save money A15 all the way. The differences aren't great enough to justify the price. The pictures and video are good quality on the A15. Obviously, it's not as good as the S24, but most people wouldn't even notice, IMO.
@@gscashi want to get my mom a new phone she doesnt care about flagship phones she just calls texts and uses social media. is this good for that with no lag?
I don't know about other countries but In Nepal we get free 25 watt Samsung original charger with phone itself and the base variant of this device in Nepal is 6/128 so it's perfect to buy
I was disappointed because the sales told me it has dual sim slots and an SD card slot. But after buying it (a Samsung Galaxy A15 4G) it can take two sim cards, but one would have to be removed if an SD card is installed. So kinda like I was conned by sales pitch. Anyway, according to my budget I will just have to keep it. My Samsung AO3S (which was stolen) had 3 slots, for two sim cards and an SD card.
Bought this phone 2 weeks ago,absolute crap,touch screen does not respond 35%,fingerprint does not work 70%,screen keeps locking by itself,cant wait to return it,absolut,incredible crap phone
I bought mine 13 days ago and screen stopped working and won’t lite up but vibrate and make dial sounds was told will only be covered if manufactured issue. Fingers crossed that’s it . Tell me what you did for yours
This doesn't. Own this and an a54. My a54 gets hot heavy gaming, some light task can also heat it up unlike the a15 5g which I tested with same heavy games (Fortnite, Diablo, Genshin, many others...)
The ‘teardrop’ lens design is more of a marketing psy trick than anything. A potential buyer will be more likely to plop a few more bucks for one without the obvious ‘old school’ look.
It's still $249.99! T-Mobile just gives a little credit towards each bill. What sounded like what would be about $150 for 4 lines per month would up almost $300 since 2 phones were not the A15 and there was not an iphone trade in for the "free" iPhone advertised. My advice... READ THE FINE PRINT!
Go for the cheaper LTE version. You will not feel the difference. Actually the LTE version has a more powerful CPU and I think it is more power efficient.
Hello guys! Is your galaxy a15 a little yellowish like it's always on blue light filter cause mine is kinda look like that and I can't see in settings where I can make it a bit in a cooler tone
You can adjust that in the display settings under Display > Screen Mode. From there you can then adjust the white balance slider or choose a preset setting, such as "Vivid". There is also an "Eye Comfort" toggle option above Screen Mode that may be affecting the white balance of your display. All in all, this is a lot of phone for the price. The micro SD compatibility combined with the finger print reader and headphone jack are all features I like. Although I used wireless earbuds most the time, it's always nice having an actual headphone jack just in case.
I'm still pretty happy with my galaxy s10, but the battery is on it's last leg and I hate that there won't be any upgrades anymore, if this doesn't suck/is worse than my old one, I'd totally chose this. Does this compare or is it worse? And yes, I'm old school, I still use wire bound headphones, the regular blue tooth ones never seem to fit my stupid ears and the cloud storage/ the internal storage doesn't cut it for my extensive music library 😅

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. The C to C charger is just a new charging style for more effective charging. I don't like it either since it makes most people go out to the store to buy a compatible charger haha. Anyway, thanks for watching!
@@TechRight In the Philippines, we get samsung original 25w charger free bundled with the purchase so it is not a big deal.
A USB to C cord is like $6 on amazon...but c to c is much more efficient as of 2024.
Ordered one today - will come back and let you know how it went.
howd it go??
How is it??
Thank you for the great review. It made things much more clear for me and helped me in making my decision. Even though I don't subscribe to tech channels because I'm not really into that kind of stuff, I subscribed to yours. Very much appreciated.
Glad I could help!
Mine has been freezing up, and at times, you can't restart it or shut it off. Coming from far more expensive phones it's fine but I don't like how thick it is and the size is too short but I knew this going in.
I don't like the power button as it seems harder to find than most others at night.
The screen capture works, but it was far easier to find and figure out on my previous phones.
In the end I am fine with it. The freezing started after the last update, and hopefully, it will get sorted out.
Might be ram only 4
I don't know what phone you have and it keeps freezing up but if it's a Samsung a 155 G model there's something wrong with this device I'm a good smartphone user and I know how to work a phone
It might be the software or Hardware or both
@@KoalaBeer. well if you're going to make a 5G phone why you have a 4 gigabyte RAM in it that's ridiculous
How they make phones and don't do things the right way
The only issue I have with a15 5g is that there isn't a default screen recording. I was wondering why. Do you know?
No I just downloaded a screen recording app no big deal lol
I was going to choose his phone but it was the only phone MetroPCS had in stock. It's been acting up every since the second I purchased it. By maybe they sold me a phone that wasn't compatible for me. I do know one thing I'm taking it back to MetroPCS I pay for insurance I want a different phone for the same cost. It doesn't charge right and the charge doesn't hold. And then I have to recharge. I think something is wrong with the entirely with the samsung A15 5g I got.
I pay for phone insurance. I've never dropped the phone or gotten it wet. I definitely don't bring my device into the bathroom.
@@HollyA-yd2bt you likely just got a bad one from the factory with corrupted software. mines great.
I just got it for my birthday yesterday
How do you like it so far ?
I just got the A15 and will say it is an upgrade, but not a massive upgrade. However, I am still happy with the A13.
Thanks for the review.
No worries!
Ok brought today wow just wow what bang for buck…. 4gig ram runs smooth loud sound..iPhone feel to it no lag , refresh rate great … android 14 . Samsung u done good. For this price why buy flagships camera nice photos. 🎉🎉
I have the Samsung Galaxy A15 5 G, but some of the texts I receive say to tap & download, but nothing the little blue thing just keeps circling. How can I fix this so I get to read all my text messages?
Just dont download random apps
I got mine on amazon for $170 WITH 256 gigs of storage and 8 gigs of ram! New and unlocked
Bargain
As an older person who wanted just a Phone simple and simple. This phone is not simple. I came from a LG K8. Which was simple. I only use a few apps. PHONES should only come with a few apps and allow us to add what we want. I like using Maps apps and geocache. Both needing a GPS sensor, triangulation and It has a crappy Sensor!!! It can only get to within 12 meters. Vs 3 meters of my older phone. I'm So disappointed I've gone back to using my older phone.
In just my day to day living I have never heard anyone complain about the bezels on their phones. Except tech RUclipsrs. Also once you slap an OtterBox (my choice of case) on your phone you literally don't notice them anyway. As long as the viewing experience is good and the battery life is good I am very happy with this phone.
personally, those bezels are one of the key features I check out in a phone cos I love them.
How does Samsung A15 128gb compare to Moto G stylus 5g 256gb. Looking forward to your response. Thank you..
I just got this phone today and Really it's nice
4 G or 5 G ??
For the price it has no cons you get what you pay for
I just purchased this phone and its awesome..Great video
I've still got my Samsung A51, and I've had it 5 years now and absolutely love it, but I know I need an upgrade, and this phone keeps calling me 😅
Gonna buy this maybe nextweek 😊
I just got this phone yesterday switched from iphone 12 + to a15 5g but i think its 4gb so 4ram ? Im nervous but i like this phone alot .😢
Reminds me of the samsung j1, simple but got the job done
My pro: Pretty decent budget phone for 2024 model of phones.
My con: It doesn't have a slot for both a SIM 2 and a microSD card.
Although they did compensate with their 125Gb of storage.
In all, it's a pretty nice phone for minimalist users.
Thank you for saying it's not waterproof. It's an important thing if you live in Ireland where it rains often. My modest Oppo a16s is waterproof and is going strong after 2 years.
Wow! I'm glad you have a phone that can withstand through that terrain. Thanks fo the comment. I hope you have a great day! Cheers!
@@TechRight Thank YOU!
@@TechRightthank you for this review. What do you think between buying the Google Pixel 7a and the Galaxy A15 5G? Here in Canada the Samsung A15 5G is about $283 and the Google pixel 7a is about $400.
Which is better between the 2? I appreciate your feedback
I was so happy to learn from the comments here that I could insert my SD card under the SIM card, but the photos on the SD card came up as distorted, although on my computer, they looked just fine. We removed & re-inserted the SIM & SD card several times, but it didn't help the distortion. Also we rebooted the phone several times. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Loved the video!
90hz display on a mid range galaxy. iPhone non pro models are 60hz still and cost several hundred more dollars.
This is not a mid-range lmao...
The a54 is bottom barrel mid-ranger, have both phones and both are stutterfest specially on 3d games despite lowest in-game settings and optimizing phone with debloat and everything.
@@WreckerALeXthe a54 was crowned phone of the year.
@dainey I have many devices including a15 5g and a54.
When I get a device I benchmark it, especially with heavy games so whether you agree or not doesn't change my experience and I'm just sharing mine.
@@WreckerALeX Well most people typically don’t game on their phone, and you called the a54 a bottom barrel mid ranger which just isn’t true statistically. Do you know any other phones under $400 that gets you more value than the a54?
If you wanna play games on your phone with a $400 budget, you should buy the iphone se3.
My A15 5G's screen is far too sensitive. I bump it, switch hands, etc, it lights up, leading to opening apps by "accident". It's a nearly constant problem. The slow charging has only recently become a problem.
Helpful review, thanks.
I was looking at getting this but devices not to after this. I can pick up a better second hand phone that's not much more expensive. Now to decide which one.
Is it a heavy phone 200gram? How’s everyday use holding. I’m used to like 150gram
It's totally fine. 200 g isn't bad at all.
I have iPhone 14 Pro Max nothing will ever be this heavy again
@@o0oStillWeRiseo0ohahah true that’s an iPad
yes its heavy due to the big 5,000mAh battery
@@WreckerALeX I brought it not to bad really, it’s ok 👌. Battery life is the bomb. Least not 240g like pro max 😂. Might have to start lifting weights 🏋️
A better glass for the screen would be really nice and 6GB of RAM at $249.00 price point.
The blue one has. 8gb of ram tho
Is this phone good for general purpose like phone calls youtube camera and stuff...??? Shld i buy this ...
Yeah that's why Samsung makes these phones.
What storage version you have? Cause I saw in another video there is a version of 256gb storage, that is pretty damn good for the price
I’ve never seen that
I just got mine lastnitw when my A32 broke ..I like it .mine is 5g and 256gb storage for 228.00
Why can't I find the 256gb version anywhere from american websites without it being an international version of the phone?
The phone is very good and the future is also great
Looks rock solid for the price. I'd buy it. 👍
What's the thing with the bezels - near perfect design and the bezels are not an issue at all.
Need to buy a new phone and I don't know what to choose moto edge 2023 moto g 5g pixel 7 or the Samsung A15 5g what would you suggest
I suggest you to get a Motorola they take the best pictures they're good in charging and the charge last forever the Samsung a15 which I just got a month ago. It takes forever to boot up
@@HollyA-yd2bt had a lot of Motorola but my last one was a lemon turn off the phone loose picture movie or apps battery goes to 0 same thing had an upgrade same thing always bought moto G but last year bought a edge 2022 because no moto G 2023 in one year that moto edge was sent to be fix 5 times was so fed up I call my cell provider and yell at them for 40 minutes!! When I get my new phone the edge will become a "clay pigeon"
@@HollyA-yd2bthow long is forever? Some folks get all outraged if it takes more than 90 seconds.
@richardweiler6931 well I bought this phone from MetroPCS on the 1st of March . Unfortunately this is the only phone they had in stock and I have no idea why
It took me 14 days to program it the way I like it
I have this device and love it so much. It's doing all it promised to do
Both phones look premium equally because Samsung phones are made to look the same 😅so come on .but i get It its advertising. Marketing. But you know i hope this new one is as good as the A14 one.
Amoled is inferior regardless of slight contrast. I will look for my favorite ips display any day it's more robust from breaking, brighter in the sun, better viewing angle, more accurate color. Thanks for reviewing
great video mate
Thanks bud
I like the texxture on the a14 like glass and my fav color for the a15. Is like the navy blue matches my a9 plus
Works well but absence of wireless inductive charging is frustrating.
On a budget phone you are expecting wireless charging
I had an issue with my new A15 communicating with Android Auto on my truck. All my other phones have worked over the years, not this one. It takes forever to load and none of the touch screen features work. The map eventually loads, but does not track my progress. I have arranged for a replacement with my provider, so hoping the new one will work okay. Anyone else have an issue with Android Auto and the A15?
So far so good. Just got this yesterday. Still hasnt gotten that GREAT charge but it's super slow
I have the A13 and really wish this one were the same size. This one feels too thick and chunky.
As of Nov 22, 2024, Amazon has this phone at $115, 'refurbished'(Excellent condition). Just bought one and will try it with Mint mobile. Can you believe Deadpool has a phone company🤯
I have the same phone as you.I love it.I love it better than my a 71
What are folks getting SOT ?
if i want to upgrade to this is it worth it is it cameras good or should i go flagship
For the price, it's worth it. Cam and vids are decent. I had a galaxy s22 Ultra, I cracked the screen. Got this phone as a holdover and honestly I could use this phone all the time and not even miss the other one, which was a 1200 dollar phone.
@@gscash so the cameras are good like s24 I want the s24 or a15
@akeemmissouri4716 You want to save money A15 all the way. The differences aren't great enough to justify the price. The pictures and video are good quality on the A15. Obviously, it's not as good as the S24, but most people wouldn't even notice, IMO.
@@gscashi want to get my mom a new phone she doesnt care about flagship phones she just calls texts and uses social media. is this good for that with no lag?
@@modelotime3608
I own a15 5g & a54.
It lags even browsing but don't feel bad, the more expensive a54 also stutters but not as much as this.
I have the A15, but not 5G version i think. Do you know if this can be charged wirelessly?
lol obviously not , 😂😂😂, wireless for anything below the S series is non existent and impossible lol, you get with what you paid
@@beatspopo oh ok. Well i didnt know it was obvious. I couldnt find any info regarding this
@beatspopo I was told it will charge at the ATT store because it was told to sales person with his colleague that it will.
Hard to find cheap phones with wireless charge
I don't know about other countries but In Nepal we get free 25 watt Samsung original charger with phone itself and the base variant of this device in Nepal is 6/128 so it's perfect to buy
Bezels are Good because they prevent accidental App launches or changing screens from the home screen.
Does it support OTG Memory Sticks ? What is the maximum memory size that can be added ? Thanks!
I was disappointed because the sales told me it has dual sim slots and an SD card slot. But after buying it (a Samsung Galaxy A15 4G) it can take two sim cards, but one would have to be removed if an SD card is installed. So kinda like I was conned by sales pitch. Anyway, according to my budget I will just have to keep it. My Samsung AO3S (which was stolen) had 3 slots, for two sim cards and an SD card.
The teardrop camera lens area is cleaned more easily compared to a phone with a screen protector having a cutout dot.
Thanks for the info. This phone does not have wireless charger support.
Thanks for this video, God bless brother.
Bought this phone 2 weeks ago,absolute crap,touch screen does not respond 35%,fingerprint does not work 70%,screen keeps locking by itself,cant wait to return it,absolut,incredible crap phone
I bought mine 13 days ago and screen stopped working and won’t lite up but vibrate and make dial sounds was told will only be covered if manufactured issue. Fingers crossed that’s it . Tell me what you did for yours
I bought another phone,keep this in the drawer,can't get money back
Does it get really hot to hold after awhile because heat was an issue in my other phone
No, it does not.
This doesn't.
Own this and an a54.
My a54 gets hot heavy gaming, some light task can also heat it up unlike the a15 5g which I tested with same heavy games (Fortnite, Diablo, Genshin, many others...)
I have the same phone the galazy A15 5G and I love it 😂❤just to let u know too.
Nice review. Notice any PWM flicker ?
Thanks boss, I haven't noticed any as of yet.
Pulse width modulation. Look it up
My brother loves this phone so much that he just purchased another one.
Oh wow nice
How is the camera?
Is it better than the moto g stylus 5g 2023?
Yes
My A15 WILLNOT take calls when RUclips is on....tried and tried to turn this off...but for whatever reason...it wont
Nooo! it's 4 system updates, not 4 years of updates.
The ‘teardrop’ lens design is more of a marketing psy trick than anything.
A potential buyer will be more likely to plop a few more bucks for one without the obvious ‘old school’ look.
It's still $249.99! T-Mobile just gives a little credit towards each bill. What sounded like what would be about $150 for 4 lines per month would up almost $300 since 2 phones were not the A15 and there was not an iphone trade in for the "free" iPhone advertised.
My advice... READ THE FINE PRINT!
Hi thanks for the info just purchased in mauritius but it is made in India.
Is it OK ???
Thank
Same here in mru
India made
Would this be an upgrade from an iPhone xr?
Yes
Go for the cheaper LTE version. You will not feel the difference. Actually the LTE version has a more powerful CPU and I think it is more power efficient.
I have the LTE model.i get fast speeds
Hello guys! Is your galaxy a15 a little yellowish like it's always on blue light filter cause mine is kinda look like that and I can't see in settings where I can make it a bit in a cooler tone
You can adjust that in the display settings under Display > Screen Mode. From there you can then adjust the white balance slider or choose a preset setting, such as "Vivid". There is also an "Eye Comfort" toggle option above Screen Mode that may be affecting the white balance of your display. All in all, this is a lot of phone for the price. The micro SD compatibility combined with the finger print reader and headphone jack are all features I like. Although I used wireless earbuds most the time, it's always nice having an actual headphone jack just in case.
Is Samsung Pay compatible with this phone?
I'm still pretty happy with my galaxy s10, but the battery is on it's last leg and I hate that there won't be any upgrades anymore, if this doesn't suck/is worse than my old one, I'd totally chose this. Does this compare or is it worse? And yes, I'm old school, I still use wire bound headphones, the regular blue tooth ones never seem to fit my stupid ears and the cloud storage/ the internal storage doesn't cut it for my extensive music library 😅
Plan get this as a upgrade from my Samsung galaxy A14 5G
Not much difference besides the oled.
SOC Dimensity 6100+ seems like a rebranded Dimensity 700 on the a14 5G
I had it for a few hours. It lagged and stuttered with just basic use, including Samsung's own apps. It was so bad that I returned it the same day.
Maybe you got the 4gb ram version?
I have the 8gb ram version and it never lagged at all, it even could handle genshin impact at maximum graphics
@@Megidolaon-0as someone who owns the 4gb version, i can confirm this is not true. My phone has been holding together for a month now, with daily use
@@ShadowPlushGaming then idk why his phone lagged, mine is fine till this day
