I agree but if you are only using your phone for only 1 year then you are doing it wrong! i've been buying flagships every 4-5 years and using them to the fullest at the end of life I just give them away to my family members as they are still in good shape. the problem when i was buying cheap phones was that they only lasted for 1-2 years so investing more money is worth it to me
I stick with Samsung after trying way too many brands. The A series is perfect for me because of the dual sim cards - I live in Hong Kong and the Philippines, so I have sim cards for each country, and I use a separate sim card for IDD.
With Samsung, you know what you get. Reliable, quality, and no-nonsense shit. :) I went from Nokia to Samsung years ago. Having tried all kinds of shitty devices like Xiaomi, ZTE, Huawei, and such crap, I decided to get a decent phone. Lo and behold, you can't get a better phone than Samsung period. I can already hear a cry out from hard-core iPhone people. Their overpriced spyware-filled crap also runs with Samsung screens. So does the Ipad. ;) Why? Because they are the best you can get, so is the Zeiss optics in the cameras.
Looks like a decent upgrade from the A03s, Thank You for this detailed review Kevin! If possible, could you please do a Comparison of the Tab A8 vs S8? Your video on the Tab A7 vs S7 was very helpful in determining if I should buy a Tablet I could afford or spend more money to get a better device. I bought a $200 Tab A8 64GB Model based on your Videos and im curious as to how the Tab A8 and S8 are Similar and also Different.
what about battery backup and performance - processing etc.? is it suitable for slightly heavy tasking? like i'm a student and I'll need it to attend online classes and for SNS etc. don't play any heavy games tho but yeah so...
I got mine for 129 euros it's really good! I recommend you this phone if your finding a phone for cheap but still good I got it because my old phones screen broke and it was cheaper to get a new phone
my secondary phone Samsung a22 has a secure folder and AOD even it running only in one ui core Idk why samsung keep doing this like in A33 5G there is no AOD even though it using super amoled. And what I like about samsung is that their entry lvl have a good camera.
Thankyou for reviewing this phone ... I'm at the point needing to upgrade from A11 and you have helped me to decide on an A13 which is selling very cheaply since the release A14
Not a big fan of the processor but a solid phone none the less. I like the camera, USB C, and refresh rate. The processor is actually worse compared to last year's galaxy A03 which is a bummer but for casual or back up use, this should be fine.
exynos 850 better than helio p35 ... so you are saying dat A03s processor is better tha A12 nacho? Never bro! it might be the ram configuration or kernel architecture (32 bit) of this device and a13 too
@@wavyx360 I'm referring to the A03 and not the A03s. The A03 has a T606 processor that has way better benchmarks and performance than the A04s's processor.
I'm sorry but I have the a04 and it's been great so I don't know why you wouldn't recommend it still has the 50mbs Camara still is snappy and fast enough it has served me well because my a20 fall when I went on a bike ride got the a04 as a quick replacement I didn't expect to like it this much the only thing I miss is that AMOLED display tho
U Can Move Apps To The Micro SD Card??????? Splendid That A Classic Feature I Haven't Seen In A LONG Time And Thought Was Discontinued By All Phone Manufacturers...
Thanks so much, just my type of video! Greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure the Exynos 850 doesn't have any AI accelerators, but have you ever considered doing any AI-focused testing on these or other low-cost phones.
I just bought one for my girlfriend today for 999 Dkr (144 $). Well, we have a full 4G here in Denmark (5 G is coming soon) and not the crappy US system, so no problems with reception. As it will be used as what it is built for, a mobile phone, and not gaming, it has plenty of power. With Samsung, you know you get a quality device that won't let you down. For all those who buy overpriced, spyware-filled Iphone crap..good luck to you. Btw...every Apple device runs Samsung screens. ;)
Great video I thought it was a lovely phone for the budget. Right uo until the model I have doesn't support NFC which was a bit of a deal breaker for me.
I am still enjoying the A04s. I think the A14 display and camera will be noticeably better, it's worth the wait if you think A04s isn't enough for you. I'm testing it out right now.
@@KevinRiazi I think your right I have A03s and the A04s doesn't really make the upgrade worth it I tried A04 and it's shocking so went back to A03s and Android 12 update came through

Good job reviewing! One question though, is the included charger a 15W fast charger? Another review I saw mentioned that it was not, but that may be a regional thing.
I will say the thing I hate about these phones is in the trainings they say they are fast and reliable. The A02s and A03s are so bad and slow. Hopefully the 90hz screen will trick the brain into being fast, but I never recommend these phones. The A13 is even a mixed bag.
I bought the Samsung Galaxy A04s to replace my Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime that I got way back in 2018, I would be lying if I said that this phone hasn't blown me away, best R3000,00 I ever spent
I've never had a phone freeze and tell me "System UI is not responding". The "Core Edition" of One UI sucks hard. I have a better time with the A20e that I've had since launch, which is supposedly weaker(on paper) yet runs normal One UI and runs circles around my A04s I bought to replace it. Most apps crash, TH-cam, Chrome, Samsung Keyboard, even basic games like Clash of Clans and Sonic CD. As a lifelong Samsung user who's been on board since the E1100 series, I can't recommend this to anyone.
Just got one. A year after the video. No more nexus 5 and galaxy s4. When you've seen it done been there for the top of the range you realise it's just a handful of apps that get used. So looking for a decade or so of use.
Bro can anyone tell me should i change my iphone 7 plus with this a04s because my iphone 7 plus battery health is 76% what should i do ? Any suggestions?❤
Could I suggest PokemonGo as a game test? Launch, going through pokemon list and switching between home screen, backpack and pokemon list. Stuff like that
This is basically a international Samsung Galaxy A13 5G with lower storage and no 5G . So if you're in North America. The A04s is a Rebranded A13 5G with Lower Storage and no 5G
