Samsung Galaxy A15 Black 4G 128GB

The Samsung Galaxy A15 is an amazing smartphone that delivers outstanding performance for its price. The display is bright and perfect for watching videos and browsing. The battery life is impressive — it easily lasts all day! The camera takes vibrant photos, and the overall design feels sleek and premium. Definitely worth every penny — highly recommended!

If you’re not after a 5G phone then this 4G version has higher performance speeds than the A15 5G and turns out to be a really good phone. For the benchmark people, it averages between 400,000 - 420,000 on a (V10) antutu benchmark. Which is faster than 72% of smartphones for only £100, Similar performance as a regular IPhone 8. So it’s pretty respectable. If you would like to see if the phone has better performance than your current phone before you upgrade, you can search online your current phone model followed by Antutu benchmark and see what score it shows you, then compare to the above score to see if it’s a performance upgrade, rather than having to benchmark test the phone urself. it’s thicker than expected but doesn’t weigh a lot, it comes with a USB-C to C cable But doesn’t have a charger with it so you’ll need a USB-C charger which most people have nowadays. if you have a normal USB charging dock then u just need a £5 USB-A to USB-C cable. or 25W fast charger but 18W is also fine, regular charging is okay too but it’ll just take longer. Powering the phone up, it’s fast enough to handle everything from browsing to medium gaming and the battery is good, not incredible but it’s good enough to last you the whole day in use and over 5 days while idle. Fresh out the box, when navigating the phone it can feel a little slower than other phones with the same chipset but there’s a few options you can enable/disable to speed it up in the software so it’s more responsive like them. (#2 works for all android phones). 1… goto settings, display and turn on “Touch sensitivity” this seems to make the screen more responsive even without a screen protector. 2… Goto settings, about phone, software information, click build number around 10x and it’ll say enabled developer mode, go back to settings, down to developer options and find drawing, Turn off “Window animation scale”, “Transition animation scale” and “Animator duration scale”. (this will make things open and transition faster rather than slow or useless animations, making it more snappy). Some phones only allow you to lower this to .5x but Samsung allow you to turn this off. 3… uninstall any of the pre installed apps that you won’t use since it’s just bloating the RAM, or move apps to your SD card. The screen is nice FHD, it also has adaptive brightness or True Tone where the screen automatically adjusts to the lighting around you to what it thinks is the best brightness for you, if you don’t like it or the screen seems to go too dark randomly, u can turn it off on the display settings. The screen is glass, but the body is plastic so I’d recommend a case so u don’t scratch it. ideally a waterproof case since the phone doesn’t have a IP waterproof rating. The speaker is okay, it’s not dual stereo speakers but the 1 speaker at the bottom of the phone is alright. There’s a headphones jack so you can use standard headphones. It supports a Micro SD card up-to 1TB. The camera is alright, depending on how good you are with cameras etc, you’ll get some okay shots with it, there can be a little too much contrast in some pictures or a little too much exposure sometimes but the colours seem pretty accurate depending on which mode you’re using and you don’t tend to get a lot of noise. The video stabilising isn’t very good tho. The night mode can be a hit or miss, sometimes it’s alright and sometimes it’s a bit over saturated or noisy. The finger prints sensor works the same as most phones. Same with the facial recognition. It supports NFC and u can turn it on and off in the settings if you want to. Supports Bluetooth 5.3 and WI-FI 5, dual band, hotspots, direct and display. Has FM radio. 2 nano sim slots. Also has a Sim eject tool in the box. It supports fast charging and shows a status screen when you plug it in telling you how long till it’s charged, it took 90mins to charge from 30% to 100% using a 18W fast charger but Samsung say it supports up to 25W which should take 81mins from 0-100% they say. And 0-47% in 30mins. for the price, I think you get a lot of phone, it’s pretty solid, it’s up there with the best in its price range and potential top 3 within the under £200 range, it’ll do everything you need a phone to do, unless you require something that uses a lot of resources, like high quality gaming or big rendering apps or a high quality photography camera. I got this as a spare for flying my fimi mini 3 drone as some android phones won’t connect to via USB-C, it connected to this phone perfectly once debugging mode was enabled. So far, considering what u get for what you pay, I’d give this a 8.5 out of 10 for a good, fast little phone, it’s quite impressive, especially for its price, I’ll see how it lasts, if it’s performance is better than your current phone then I’d recommend it.

I only use this phone once and a while. It's a good little basic phone. Reasonable performance for the price. I only use this one for a spare. If you need a basic phone it's worth the price. Dont expect premium phone performance but it's better than the non name budget phones

Brilliant bit of kit at a brilliant price. Delivered safely and securely and very quickly. Bought a security case to protect the phone. I bought this phone because I hate contracts and paying silly money for the latest models. I can load the latest shoppiong apps which I couldn't do on the old Samsung 5. Eay to use, not obtrusive (removed voice apss and several unwanted apps easily). Not too heavy or bulky either.

I bought Samsung A15 4G 128GB from Amazon the phone is good working perfectly the delivery was quick, i recommend Amazon to everyone who wants affordable and quality products.

Still using the phone

Phone does more than I need,68 yr old,me not the phone but I do like it.

Well worth the money
