What are your thoughts on the A04s? Thanks for watching!

[@dominoreaction2564]

How did you see in Galaxy A04s powered by T-Mobile?

[@shaphierokonstabel5467]

The phone is not bad at all. It's a very decent budget phone

[@owenhope4273]

Shane keep up the good tech work.

I had a bad experience with the A02s but this looks really premium! But... I think I will stay with my fold 4 and flip 4 lol.

@@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970 No no no no. A04S is same phone as A03s. Samsung is literally ripping ppl off with new phone with brand name. A03S is much cheaper only difference is camera was changed from 48MP to 50Mp and they changed processor to a Unisoc processor i believe in the A04s

I ordered one in the green colour to use as a secondary device to my iphone. I really appreciate that samsung are making decent devices for so cheap.

[@orion1983uk]

Another excellent review of an entry level / budget Samsung phone. I got the A03s last year as our backup phone, partly based off the review you did on it at the time. Obviously it's not comparable to my S21 (which at 5 times the price is no surprise), but it has been a solid device none the less and was above my expectations. Also, it has been receiving regular and consistent updates from Samsung including the promised Android 12 update. I believe it will also be getting Android 13 further down the line followed by the usual security updates up until it is 4 years old. The camera is the A03s' weak spot and it does look like the A04s has improved greatly on this. Surely, taking everything into consideration, this has to be the best entry level budget phone on the market for the price?

[@ShaneSymonds]

In the US for sure one of the better entry level budget phones. I am impressed how much it can do for the price

[@arnorobinwerkman]

i had the ao2, was ok with its mediatel processor, now i have the f13, and i couldnt be happyer. samsung is making some pretty good budget phones lately.

Just got mine today, while setting it up and scrolling through, I stumble on a setting to extend the virtual ram to 4 GB, a very pleasantly surprice, got it as a second hand to replace my redmi a1. Ibca't wait to se how it'll be to use. Lastly having it in my hand, it felt more valuable then my Redmi a1.

Very beautiful color!! And because it's glossy it looks even better. It's not good that all the flagship phones comes always now in black or grey or white, which actually aren't real colors at all. This copper color is awesome, it must be my favorite in 2022. I'm applauding Samsung for that choice 👏. And the new 3 camera's on the backside looks fresh and actually very nice.

[@arnorobinwerkman]

i forgot to mention, i can game on the f13, and a friends a04s, but on both devices any "gameloft" game we install, like asphalt8 etc, the phone becomes unresponcive, without even playing the game for the first time, and the only way to recover the phone is by uninstalling the game.

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

I have had this phone for 2 weeks now. Its pretty great so far. I cant find one thing that i dont like about it. It even has a fairly advanced camera system and a good battery. Well maybe one little thing thats on my mind and that would be the smaller storage capacity. But thats what you get for getting a budget phone. I highly recommend everyone with limited funds to get this phone while you still can. Oh yea and one more thing.It doesnt come with a phone charger or at least mine didnt. Luckly they sell chargers in the local post office so i got one.

[@kyozaki9838]

Does this phone have a secure folder? I literally returned an A13 because it didn't have one, after being told online that it has one. Can anyone confirm that this phone has a secure folder? Thanks

[@kyozaki9838]

No secure folder at all. Picked up the a23 5g which has it. Next model up.

[@philfrizzell4571]

[@Vendelta]

How can it be that with such a low budget device they put space for an SD card slot, 3mm headphone jack, and to top it off, a Adapter in the Box???? 😅 I paid 1300€ for each of one of my HigEnd S21U-S22ULTRA Ultra, and getting none of that. And what about this whole saving environment thing??? BS as usual 😂

[@scarletvan4749]

because it is a very very convincing reason that nobody can protest them for. Even restaurants in my country have started saving up crazily on their expenses with this bs excuse.

A03 has a better processor than A04s, you're right.

[@Archie.9005]

The newer models were a bit of a downgrade with the processors, the a03 had a faster unisoc processor

[@wadestevens636]

I bought myself one then It had a Soft wear update to do...I Updated it...then had no more space 😅😂

[@petrisalonen4893]

That unfortunately seems possible since 32 gb internal storage is too low! And after updates I believe these companies doesn't know how to clear old data and then it's a terrible experience. That happened with my Nokia 6.2 (3/32gb) in 2020 after it was updated to Android 11. Later I accidentally found a solution and it should work on O4s or any Android smartphone: Do a factory settings reset. That will not erase the latest update but it does erase all old junk from the storage. I did that on Nokia 6.2 and suddenly found very much free space on my phone (yes even after installing all the apps I had). So now it's still usable in 11/2022 as my second phone 👍. Cheers 🇫🇮.
