Samsung Galaxy A15 5G 3 Months Later Review: Things have changed!

I never understood this critique. Same with fingerprint comment.

Anti-reflective coatings can reduce reflections by 80-90%. These strange colours you see in expensive binocular lenses are caused by those coatings.

People forget what a phone primarily supposed be used for ...making and receiving calls 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

Bullcrap, if you want a phone that literally just calls you're getting a flip phone for $20. We live in an era of technology, you need apps to use things and we use them for pictures or videos instead of buying or carrying a camera with you. They replaced cd or mp3 players long ago as well.

[@JeeGo-Aries-King]

@ThatBugBehindYou the technology will ultimately split...smart phone and another gadget for game heads and app freaks

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

@@JeeGo-Aries-King Well I didn't bring up games so don't know why you did, they already have their own phones. I don't know what you mean by app freaks, the average person needs 10 or 20 apps at bare minimum unless they're a jobless friendless bum. You didn't bring up the camera because you know that's a losing argument at face value. Technology moves on, your phone does more than calling and it's expected to do more even if you're buying a flip phone.

[@kierenkd]

probably fragmentation or cache issues - easily remedied - especially on samsung - backup with smart switch, factory reset, restore from backup and should be good. If not, old batteries can cause performance issues but often looking at 3+ years of heavy power use (0% to 100%)

The charging of a device is characterized by the sustained current the charger can provide, not the watts. While Power (watts) = Volt x Amps, and the chargers/usb have 5V standard, it is the current that can be raised up if the charger is able to. Rising the volts may lead to burn.

It does have an LCD screen, which isn't a big deal for me because the the phone I have now, which is a Samsung Galaxy A10e, also has an LCD screen and I find no problem with it. If the A15 came with a LCD screen, they could probably could have put in 6 or 8GB of ram and a better processor. Samsung does offer more OS updates and security patches for their phones than Motorola, which is important.

Camera is bad. The preview is much better than the actual photo. When you zoom you see a nice Image on the screen, but after taking the photo it is much worse. That is really annoying. Is there a solution for this? My Note 8 makes better photos. And 50 MP is a lie. There is no difference in quality berween 12MP pic and 50MP pic.

[@jonfreeman9682]

That can't be right. Note 8 is a dinosaur phone so this 50 MP phone must be hugely better no? Did you try setting the camera to full 50 MP resolution then you get maximum quality without pixel binning. When zoom in you can see more detail. One advantage note 8 have is optical stabilization and I don't think think this budget phone have that so just hold the phone steady don't shake. One thing you can do is add fillers in Instagram or other app to boost quality so even cheap cameras can take pictures like iPhones. I know that's cheating but on Instagram no one will notice the difference.

What's wrong with camera? Have you tried it?

[@LAZYJOHN101]

@jonfreeman9682 I own this phone.Front camera is bad when is used for video calls and in low light.Back camera I will say average but still no stabiliser

[@jonfreeman9682]

@@LAZYJOHN101 Most budget phones use cheap front camera parts to keep cost down. Back camera is pretty good in daylight but nighttime can't compete with iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. The low res wide angle and macro are useless but if the main back camera works okay then it's fine as most people share photos on Instagram on a small phone screen so you never notice the quality even if shot on an iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. But front camera isn't the best on all budget phones. If you upgrade to say Samsung a35 you get better camera but it's double the price and you can get the pixel 8a or older iPhone with much better camera at that higher price.

[@TGWODAVEY]

For me it's te same... the phone is fine but it's so slow

[@arthurbrown-hh4xs]

Extremely slow.. I'm like wow

[@jonfreeman9682]

What are you doing to cause it so slow? Do you do heavy game or too many apps?

[@richardterlisner5145]

Does everything I need. S20 died (fell apart, I'm tough on phones) and Verizon tried to sell me a $900 replacement. Held firm and only spent $200.

I only experience a bit of lag I recommend you buying this it saves a lot of money perfect for gaming too

[@pimpedworldful]

Summary:I got a lag and fixed it by holding down the power button with the volume button to restart my phone I experienced a weird type of lag or glitch where it would randomly open and close apps. It would also turn on accidental touch protection. I wouldn't even let me open or close any apps and wouldn't even let me power off or restart my phone I got this fixed by holding the power button and volume button for 10 seconds till the phone restarted

[@jonfreeman9682]

So you're saying the el cheapo MediaTek works okay? It gets a bad rep vs Snapdragon but I get it's cheaper so that's why MediaTek is used in budget phones.
