I am very pleased with my A25 -- 6GB RAM | 128GB Storage --- It came with android 14 so it will be getting android upgrades for a while. Wi-Fi and cell tower connections are very good. Texting is very clear. Apps works great on it. You can buy more expensive and more prestigious Samsung phones. But all you will get is a faster CPU and more storage AND better cameras. For photography and video enthusiasts ..... You need a superior Samsung. But for 90% of people, the A25 cameras are very good enough. It takes very good FHD video for me.
this is my daily smartphone now. i broke the screen and I had to DIY the screen replacement process. still works fine. it's in a reasonable price range and still had the audio jack. although the camera is very sluggish compared to my previous galaxy S8+.
The greatest advantage of the A25 over the A15 that you forgot mentioning aside from the SOC is the OIS of the main 50MP camera. Among us photographers, the OIS is always a staple.
I got the A25 for my grandma after she rode her A01 into the ground and it's really a lot of phone for not too much money. The cameras are good enough for her to snap every photo and even some videos, it keeps up with her doom scrolling of TH-cam, TikTok, and her news feeds, and TracFone had it for $200 with a year's service included. If you're not a power user and just need a decent phone while saving money, this was an impressive one!
I have the A35 myself but I can see the A25 being a good choice depending on the region and pricing. Where I live the A15 only comes with 4/128GB memory configuration, while the A25 has 6/128GB or 8/256GB, so it's a good choice if you want the better specs and extra features, plus the 3.5 jack, and save extra cash over the A35.

They should be able to offer something at any price point if they just use storage size as mid-tiers: A15 128GB for $200, 256GB for $250, A35 for $300, etc. Provides a nice clear distinction for the consumers as to what they are getting at each price point without having price fights within the same category for very similar devices.
I definitely agree with that! Unfortunately, I don't think there's been any consistency or reasoning for their storage & RAM options - the budget A Series gets launched in different parts of the world randomly and there's 128GB - 512GB and 4GB - 8GB RAM options for all different phones.

In India A55 and S23 FE are nearly the same price of around $400 so most people are preferring S23 FE or are just stretching the budget to around $500 to get the S23 instead. An expensive A-series phone like A55 isn't selling well in price sensitive markets like India so definitely I think like in the US they didn't launch A55 this year same is gonna be followed next year in India.

@@TechDailyThat's what Xiaomi needs to do. Every gen it introduces about 25-30 new phones, that's the cause for the nightmare they have with their software quality. Crazy to support for 3-4 gens, that will be more than 100 phones including Redmi and Poco.
I'm planning to buy this phone from Straight Talk for $180 with the 6/128gb variant. I think it'll be a great phone for the money since I don't expect to pay high dollar for a flagship. I know phones like the Motorola G Power 5g are better, but they don't have the same software support.
I bought the A25 5G because it was within my available budget and because I find useful to have a 3.5mm audio jack. I love photography and video and that's what I miss themost since I switched from an old flagship phone. I use the phone for light tasks (maps, music, web browsing) and it is smooth and comfortable enough to use in its 8GB RAM/256GB ROM variant, which is available in Latin America. The camera is good enough in good lighting and outdoor conditions, video can be good if you have some manual settings and the only truly horrible thing about the phone is its vibration motor which is slow and feels very cheap. All in all, I do not regret having bought this phone.
Galaxy A25 heavily underrated It is the ideal cost-benefit midrange, for those who do not want a device as basic as the A15 4g but in other hand the A34 or A35 5g are stratospherically expensive... this phone is siick🔥
I currently have the A35 5G and ive loved it for the past two years. I am not a power user but i love the good features of the A series. I even owned the original galaxy Alpha over the S5
I think a big problem with Samsung trying to "force" people to buy their higher-end phones is that a budget conscious consumer isn't going to see a lack of a competitive midrange/budget Samsung phone and decide to buy the flagships or the FE, they're going to decide to buy from a different company altogether who does offer competitive, good value phones at the price range they're after. Especially in markets such as India which Samsung really cannot afford to lose
The problem with that idea is in the U.S. there arent too many "other" options - mostly Motorola, and a random OnePlus phone from time to time. Budget-conscious buyers aren't ever going up in the lineup, they'll instead go down. So without the A55, they get the A35, or without the A25, they get the A15.
@@TechDailyughh guys while it sucks Samsung decided not to sell the A 55 in the US I think it’s because the S23 Fe came on a very similar price and look to the A55 just on the states if I’m not wrong. Here in Mexico tech is more expensive usually and income is lower than the US so Samsung still kept the A55 but I think Samsung thought the majority of people in the US can get an S23 FE so they eliminated just for this time the 55. But I think you guys will get The A56 next time. If Samsung eliminated one number in the A lineup for good it would be the A30 something and A20 something to keep only A 5x and A1X lineups.
This is a great budget phone buy! ❤ "manage your expectations." Thats the best advice. 128gb is certainly not a lot and pushes a user into cloud storage or clearing media to external storages. Keep apps to a minimum and delete bloatware, and the user will be fine. No Qi charging or IP67+ rating is an adjustment. Samsung website runs deals all the time. 4 years of OS updates & 5 yrs security patches!!! This is an A series that adds up one phone at a time. It will be here to stay as long as the market demands.
I'm Watching it on A25 It really is an amazing phone Don't listen to anyone At this price U can't find a better phone than this one Maybe on paper But in reality, this is the best choice
The 6GB RAM / 128GB version unlocked is only 180 USD converted in the Philippines with free 25watts samsung charger. It is snappy and definitelu value for the monwh. Why is it 299 in the US !!
The only reason i considered the galaxy A35 was the splash and dust resistance, not available in A25. However, the headphone jack lured me to this and i dont mind the bezel situation. Also, the stereo speakers sound great.
A series are getting better and better, I hated Samsung mid range and poor UI optimization until they released the A55, upgraded from Redmi note 12 pro to A55, now I'm a Samsung lover
and the prices are good in Chile I bought the A55 for 280 USD, I think is the most complete phone for the price at least in latinoamerica, compared to FE series and S series
I wanted the A25 but ended up getting an A15 4G because budget constraints. The price for the 8/256 A15 vs 8/256 A25 is a 2x jump in price which did not make any sense compared to getting an 8/256 A34. That was about 6 months ago. Currently for the 8/256 variants the A15 is ~$150 and A25 is ~$225 and A34 is ~300. But during a sale the A25 and A34 are pretty much the same price or the A34 is a bit less at times. I focus on 8/256 mainly because the lower variants either 4/128 or 6/128 depending on the phone model.
The new models of the A series are due out soon. I have been looking for the new A series models,and i found information that A16 A56 are coming out,but nothing as far as A26 or A36 as of yet. I have noticed that from A05s to the A15 5g theres a big jump in what you get,same with the A15 5g to the A25 5g but from A25 5g to the A35 5g and so on,what you get for the extra money does not give the big jump as previosly stated.
Just upgraded from xiaomi9T (2019) to this. Here in Australia the A15 is only available with 4GBRAM while the A25 has 6GB, so it is really presented as an middle option at 25% more price. A nice sweetspot between the A35 and A15 or A05 for those who use the phone for basic productivity and are not comfortable with 4GB RAM (Even my old xiaomi has 6gb RAM), specially now that banking, purchases, emails, QR codes etc need more and more multitasking between apps.
I sold my S23 FE because it heats up. It was my first Samsung that has Exynos. Now I understand why people don't like it lmao I'm thinking of getting this! But I don't know if it's available in my country. This phone seems decent.
Price determines everything for people on budget. If A25 256 GB variant costs 70-80 usd/eur cheaper than A35 256 GB variant, than for people who don't need stabilization on main camera 4K videos A25 is good enough of a choice.
I saved big on mine boost had a promotion for it's customers til the end of September, my out the door price for this phone with activation was $60.66 👍🏿
Hello, thanks for great advice ! Please, just one question - is it possiblle in settings to hide notch , like on many samstng phone, for example on A52s ? Thanks if you have a time and answer to me. Best regards 🎉
I had the A42 a few years back, and my daughter has the A25 😂 Honestly, not perfect phones but still pretty good. The A42 was still going strong, I only got rid of it once the screen broke. It wasn't worth replacing the screen at that point. The A25 my daughter has actually runs pretty smoothly. It only gets a little warm when she's been running a game for a long time.
The A42 was a phone I really liked, but it really made no sense in the lineup lol I think Samsung made it out of all the spare parts they had. Glad the A25 is working well for your daughter!
@Just4freepremium Well expensive devices aren't for everyone and no one is buying these entry level smartphones for their performance. Some ppl just don't want to spend thousands on a phone that their gonna use just to call, send messages and a bit of social media.
The A series is one of the few reasons why I will stuck with Samsung when looking for mid-range phones. The ones with headphone jack are decent "back to basics" smartphones, in addition to being perfectly doing fine with Android Auto-equipped in car entertainment system. In markets where the midrange segment is overwhelmingly dominated by Mainland China brands that are still not having stable ROMs for connectivity with in-car entertainment systems, Samsung A series is like a godsend.
Thank you for the video. Does this have fm radio? Also does the a35 have sd card slot And headphone jack? As these two features are most important for me
Thanks for this video, like always you are pointing on serious things that matters for each of us in different ways. For me, important is the display ( check) the microsd slot (hybrid or not) check(1TB) the sound (cheeck) cause it will be the second phone...for masterclasses, for screenrecordings, audio...and the Exynos 1280 will be good enaugh for this. For daily use I still got a S20 FE 5g ( because the microsd, the snapdragon 645, that works great) for banking and serious stuff. Thank you for make me choose A25, instead A35( bigger &heavyer). Well, about future plans of Samsung about A(2..) series, I don't think they disappear...the big sales are made by midranger &low midranger phones, not by toptear. I hope they keep'em all, they have their place, important in market.
Was happy to get A34 instead of this) better all around minus one year of updates and the headphone jack. But for the same money you get no chin, no Exynos, better camera and water resistance. Plus the software is a bit more capable on upper A models if I'm correct
I've got one as a spare phone as an add on to me main contract with unlimited data, texts and calls, handset costs £7.50 a month. Runs like a much more expensive handset
For someone who'd been using top end phones for many many years, (iPhones & Note 20s), I've been using the A25 & A54 for couple of years now and tbh, I have no regrets downgrading to mid range devices. A25 and A54 are excellent, decent performing phones.
To be honest its not really a downgrade, it has better processor than the Note 20, I am considering getting this rather than the S24 ultra, S24 Ultra is so cool but on paper I won't use its extra features I didn't even use my Note 20 ultra s pen, after losing it I didn't remember it even existed You got the storage, and you got an sd slot great Camera, Great Display with 120 Hz refresh rate. What do I really need more?
I think what Samsung should do with their A- series is: Stop the A10 and A30 series. The A0 series becomes the A10 series (with few upgrades), and the A30 series may choose to join the A50 series (since both have similar features). That leaves three devices in the series, allowing the FE series worth it. *in my opinion
I find it really strange that we can buy unlocked versions of the A25 5g and A73 5g readily here in Australia, yet you can't in a market that's at least ten times bigger..🤔
A25 is the best bang for buck this year from Samsung. It has the same cpu as the infamous A53 which was rated as a very weak midrange phone. If you cannot afford it then just buy used. Don't give money for A05/15
Ive seen it on samsung store, I’m torn between going to 15 or this because there’s notably differences between display but and camera but I already have an iPhone for taking photos and video stuff
I have the A10 and it's quite a great phone to me in past but over time I realized how limiting it was . Still tho it still does the job well for basic tasks. I went with OnePlus Nord 3 Ce this time. But My eyes are still on Redmi or Honor or Realme-Oppo-Vivo etc from BBK. Good phone but each company has a trade-off for something.
I'm going to buy one soon and chose the A25, not because the A35 is expensive, but because the A35 is heavier. I don't know why weight doesn't matter to anyone:)
They need like 3 A series, 3 S series and one FE release in the middle of the year, that's it. This year would have been A15, A35, A55, S24, S24+, S24U, then S24 FE in the middle of the year in between the A55 and S24. A0x should be ditched, time to go 5G only. Instead of S24+ being a bigger S24, it should have S24U's camera setup without the pen and smaller screen. Then the S24FE would be like cheaper but bigger S24.
Yes barely anyone knows about this phone, but have you ever heard of the Galaxy A82/Quantum 2? There's barely even videos about it. It's also the most high-end A-series Samsung phone ever, and its also the ONLY A-series phone other than the S or Note Series that has a Curved 120Hz Display
I know about that phone. That and the A15 are super good but the A25 has a bit of a better resolution than the A15. However the A15 is more the best selling android smartphone in the world since everyone on earth bought it especially me.
A25 is a perfectly fine device and discounts could be had too. Shame that the hole punch from the A21s hasn't returned because the notch is really the only downside to this device. Hoping the hole punch comes back for next year's A26.
End of the line for the A2x series for me. Samsung kind of offer basic good functionality starting A05x, tier previously reserved for the A1x series. And now the A1x series is specwise on the tier level of previous A2x models. Samsung is streamlining its lineup, easier to manufacture and for software support..less software development expenses, so expensive. A2x series 💀.
I bought a A15 for 125 Euros new to test. It's very good for the money, but a little slow in all day performance. Slightly used A55 are available here for 200 Euros and the prices are falling... Almost no reason to take a really cheap device, even when they are "okay"
Ill always suggest a used/renewed devices like an old S Series over a new budget phone, but for some people they can get a prepaid contract for $10-$25/mo and get a phone like this for free. So it really depends on whats available
This is the only Samsung phone with everything.
If you go for A15 you loose a lot, camera quality, gyro sensor and stereo speakers,
If you go for A35 you loose the headphone port.
So this the perfect middle ground for budget phone.
I hope they don't wipe out the A2x series

@@MZRTMusic254 Yeah and S21 FE (2023) Snapdragon 888 is available for $300 brand new which I bought recently 😂
@SanketRoy_27 The Exynos 1480 isn't far off from the 888, so I'll just have to console myself with an a55 next month, lol😂 it's powerful enough for my needs. You guys have it good in India when it comes to buying tech for cheaper. And you get phones that aren't available for some of us.
@@SanketRoy_27 I'm getting the A55 for 290$
@@MZRTMusic254 Me getting S21 FE is more to do with
1) USB Gen 3 for Wired and Wireless output in Samsung Dex.
2) Wireless charging at 15W. (I don't use it because of heating)
3) S-series One UI and still 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security patch updates.
4) Stereo Speakers which are awesome with Dolby Atmos.
5) UFS 3.1 with LPDDR5 Ram for faster read write speeds in file transfers.
6) 256 GB storage

The A35 and A55 don't have a headphone jack, so it is interesting they didn't remove it from the A25
They didn't remove it from the A15 either.
I'm glad they didn't. The micro sd card and 3.5 jack are still wanted and used
@@696969bold The A32 released in 2021 did have a 3.5 jack, but beginning next year in 2022 with the release of the A33, these phones no longer have a 3.5 jack
Should just leave it as A1x for budgets, A5x for midrange and Syy for the flagship.
I definitely agree with that!
@@TechDailyyes me too. These are exactly my thoughts.
@@TechDailyThat's what Xiaomi needs to do. Every gen it introduces about 25-30 new phones, that's the cause for the nightmare they have with their software quality. Crazy to support for 3-4 gens, that will be more than 100 phones including Redmi and Poco.

Thanks so much! 🙏
I'm planning to buy this phone from Straight Talk for $180 with the 6/128gb variant. I think it'll be a great phone for the money since I don't expect to pay high dollar for a flagship. I know phones like the Motorola G Power 5g are better, but they don't have the same software support.
I bought the A25 5G because it was within my available budget and because I find useful to have a 3.5mm audio jack. I love photography and video and that's what I miss themost since I switched from an old flagship phone. I use the phone for light tasks (maps, music, web browsing) and it is smooth and comfortable enough to use in its 8GB RAM/256GB ROM variant, which is available in Latin America. The camera is good enough in good lighting and outdoor conditions, video can be good if you have some manual settings and the only truly horrible thing about the phone is its vibration motor which is slow and feels very cheap. All in all, I do not regret having bought this phone.
Galaxy A25 heavily underrated It is the ideal cost-benefit midrange, for those who do not want a device as basic as the A15 4g but in other hand the A34 or A35 5g are stratospherically expensive... this phone is siick🔥
I use a 7 Plus and would actually get this or like an A35 or A55, they’re actually pretty good, decent phones
kindly reply.
would it be better than M35 ?
I currently have the A35 5G and ive loved it for the past two years. I am not a power user but i love the good features of the A series. I even owned the original galaxy Alpha over the S5
I think a big problem with Samsung trying to "force" people to buy their higher-end phones is that a budget conscious consumer isn't going to see a lack of a competitive midrange/budget Samsung phone and decide to buy the flagships or the FE, they're going to decide to buy from a different company altogether who does offer competitive, good value phones at the price range they're after. Especially in markets such as India which Samsung really cannot afford to lose
The problem with that idea is in the U.S. there arent too many "other" options - mostly Motorola, and a random OnePlus phone from time to time. Budget-conscious buyers aren't ever going up in the lineup, they'll instead go down. So without the A55, they get the A35, or without the A25, they get the A15.
@@TechDailyughh guys while it sucks Samsung decided not to sell the A 55 in the US I think it’s because the S23 Fe came on a very similar price and look to the A55 just on the states if I’m not wrong.
Here in Mexico tech is more expensive usually and income is lower than the US so Samsung still kept the A55 but I think Samsung thought the majority of people in the US can get an S23 FE so they eliminated just for this time the 55.
But I think you guys will get The A56 next time. If Samsung eliminated one number in the A lineup for good it would be the A30 something and A20 something to keep only A 5x and A1X lineups.
This is a great budget phone buy! ❤ "manage your expectations." Thats the best advice.
128gb is certainly not a lot and pushes a user into cloud storage or clearing media to external storages. Keep apps to a minimum and delete bloatware, and the user will be fine.
No Qi charging or IP67+ rating is an adjustment. Samsung website runs deals all the time. 4 years of OS updates & 5 yrs security patches!!! This is an A series that adds up one phone at a time. It will be here to stay as long as the market demands.
I'm using A22 5G since 2022. I'm glad that this phone is using PLS LCD after my S21 caught 2 pink lines 3 years using.

I'm Watching it on A25
It really is an amazing phone
Don't listen to anyone
At this price
U can't find a better phone than this one
Maybe on paper
But in reality, this is the best choice
The 6GB RAM / 128GB version unlocked is only 180 USD converted in the Philippines with free 25watts samsung charger. It is snappy and definitelu value for the monwh. Why is it 299 in the US !!
For me, Samsung A25 is a bare minimum for a good smartphone, have OIS, also stereo speaker
I wouldn't mind if the A25 was the new entry-level device.
I'm torn between A15 128/6 and A25 128/8, anything that can help me in my decision is appreciated
@@Peoplecanfly1 I would get the A25 5G with 8/128GB variant, because you will get stereo speakers, a higher nit in brightness and a better camera.
The a25 is just the a34 from last year so you are actually getting real value for your money. I'd buy it.
A34 is better than the A25 in ALL aspects. Definitely do not buy it over the A34 lmao
The phones definitely overlap each year - getting "last year's" phone is always a good move.
The only reason i considered the galaxy A35 was the splash and dust resistance, not available in A25. However, the headphone jack lured me to this and i dont mind the bezel situation. Also, the stereo speakers sound great.
In my country they sell this phone but with 256gb of storage and 8gb of ram, same thing with A15, A35 and A55.
A series are getting better and better, I hated Samsung mid range and poor UI optimization until they released the A55, upgraded from Redmi note 12 pro to A55, now I'm a Samsung lover
and the prices are good in Chile I bought the A55 for 280 USD, I think is the most complete phone for the price at least in latinoamerica, compared to FE series and S series
Im an amateur photographer and I use the A24 4g. Ive had some banger pictures. The a25 is just as good.
I wanted the A25 but ended up getting an A15 4G because budget constraints. The price for the 8/256 A15 vs 8/256 A25 is a 2x jump in price which did not make any sense compared to getting an 8/256 A34. That was about 6 months ago.
Currently for the 8/256 variants the A15 is ~$150 and A25 is ~$225 and A34 is ~300. But during a sale the A25 and A34 are pretty much the same price or the A34 is a bit less at times.
I focus on 8/256 mainly because the lower variants either 4/128 or 6/128 depending on the phone model.
The new models of the A series are due out soon.
I have been looking for the new A series models,and i found information that A16 A56 are coming out,but nothing as far as A26 or A36 as of yet.
I have noticed that from A05s to the A15 5g theres a big jump in what you get,same with the A15 5g to the A25 5g but from A25 5g to the A35 5g and so on,what you get for the extra money does not give the big jump as previosly stated.
A36 appeared in the leaks as of now, so a26 seems dead to me
that audio jack is useful for fm radio.
Just upgraded from xiaomi9T (2019) to this. Here in Australia the A15 is only available with 4GBRAM while the A25 has 6GB, so it is really presented as an middle option at 25% more price. A nice sweetspot between the A35 and A15 or A05 for those who use the phone for basic productivity and are not comfortable with 4GB RAM (Even my old xiaomi has 6gb RAM), specially now that banking, purchases, emails, QR codes etc need more and more multitasking between apps.
I both have the Galaxy A25 5G and Galaxy A35 5G, and I really love their performance, especially for camera and music. The battery is also great.
Which is better in Bluetooth
@jonathanferrer6347 Both of them are good in Bluetooth.
My first Samsung smartphone is the A21S. Then I upgrade to the M52 5G and now finally I'm using the flagship S23.
I sold my S23 FE because it heats up. It was my first Samsung that has Exynos. Now I understand why people don't like it lmao I'm thinking of getting this! But I don't know if it's available in my country. This phone seems decent.
Price determines everything for people on budget. If A25 256 GB variant costs 70-80 usd/eur cheaper than A35 256 GB variant, than for people who don't need stabilization on main camera 4K videos A25 is good enough of a choice.
Love the wallpaper, Wade. Can you provide a link for downloading it ?
I sort of just found a random one from Google when I typed in "blue Samsung wallpaper" - if I find it again I'll link it!

Hello, thanks for great advice !
Please, just one question - is it possiblle in settings to hide notch , like on many samstng phone, for example on A52s ?
Thanks if you have a time and answer to me.
Best regards 🎉
I had the A42 a few years back, and my daughter has the A25 😂 Honestly, not perfect phones but still pretty good. The A42 was still going strong, I only got rid of it once the screen broke. It wasn't worth replacing the screen at that point. The A25 my daughter has actually runs pretty smoothly. It only gets a little warm when she's been running a game for a long time.
The A42 was a phone I really liked, but it really made no sense in the lineup lol I think Samsung made it out of all the spare parts they had. Glad the A25 is working well for your daughter!
Why get this when last year's a34 is available for a similar price and has better specs?
@Just4freepremium Well expensive devices aren't for everyone and no one is buying these entry level smartphones for their performance. Some ppl just don't want to spend thousands on a phone that their gonna use just to call, send messages and a bit of social media.
It's basically the same device same chipset
@@spinkick9270 chipset is different, favours the a34 in terms of performance and efficiency
because it doesn't have headphone jack, and if you don't want headphone jack you are better off going straight to the A35 instead
@@mauriciolandos4712 the apple USB C to 3.5mm dongle is a solution
Hopefully the A30-somethings adopt the headphone jack that would basically be left behind if the A20-somethings do in fact kick the bucket
No chance unfortunately
The A series is one of the few reasons why I will stuck with Samsung when looking for mid-range phones. The ones with headphone jack are decent "back to basics" smartphones, in addition to being perfectly doing fine with Android Auto-equipped in car entertainment system. In markets where the midrange segment is overwhelmingly dominated by Mainland China brands that are still not having stable ROMs for connectivity with in-car entertainment systems, Samsung A series is like a godsend.
mediatek chipset was amazing on the A series until they changed to exynos one. Ive been using A22 4G since 2021

Thanks for this video, like always you are pointing on serious things that matters for each of us in different ways. For me, important is the display ( check) the microsd slot (hybrid or not) check(1TB) the sound (cheeck) cause it will be the second phone...for masterclasses, for screenrecordings, audio...and the Exynos 1280 will be good enaugh for this. For daily use I still got a S20 FE 5g ( because the microsd, the snapdragon 645, that works great) for banking and serious stuff. Thank you for make me choose A25, instead A35( bigger &heavyer). Well, about future plans of Samsung about A(2..) series, I don't think they disappear...the big sales are made by midranger &low midranger phones, not by toptear. I hope they keep'em all, they have their place, important in market.
I know this phone existed! Because I saw it at US Cellular when I was getting the A35.
The combination of stereo speakers and the super Amoled display is what attacked me, specially by its price! And plus it’s 120htz
Was happy to get A34 instead of this) better all around minus one year of updates and the headphone jack. But for the same money you get no chin, no Exynos, better camera and water resistance. Plus the software is a bit more capable on upper A models if I'm correct
It is actually a great backup phone for my S22 Ultra.
I've heard more and more people buying 2nd phones as back-ups - definitely a good idea!
I've got one as a spare phone as an add on to me main contract with unlimited data, texts and calls, handset costs £7.50 a month. Runs like a much more expensive handset
For someone who'd been using top end phones for many many years, (iPhones & Note 20s), I've been using the A25 & A54 for couple of years now and tbh, I have no regrets downgrading to mid range devices. A25 and A54 are excellent, decent performing phones.
To be honest its not really a downgrade, it has better processor than the Note 20,
I am considering getting this rather than the S24 ultra, S24 Ultra is so cool but on paper I won't use its extra features
I didn't even use my Note 20 ultra s pen, after losing it I didn't remember it even existed
You got the storage, and you got an sd slot great Camera, Great Display with 120 Hz refresh rate.
What do I really need more?
@Cwalker-fd2kp it gives me just what I need. Nothing more, nothing less.
I have done my upgrade from vivo y66 to Samsung a25 .. but its good by the way ❤
I think what Samsung should do with their A- series is: Stop the A10 and A30 series. The A0 series becomes the A10 series (with few upgrades), and the A30 series may choose to join the A50 series (since both have similar features). That leaves three devices in the series, allowing the FE series worth it.
*in my opinion
I ❤ my A25!
I find it really strange that we can buy unlocked versions of the A25 5g and A73 5g readily here in Australia, yet you can't in a market that's at least ten times bigger..🤔
People complaining about the old fashioned notch but rush to buy the $1000 iPhone 16 with 60 hz LCD. Surreal 🤦🤷!
A25 is the best bang for buck this year from Samsung.
It has the same cpu as the infamous A53 which was rated as a very weak midrange phone.
If you cannot afford it then just buy used.
Don't give money for A05/15
I definitely agree with the "buy it used" point - a used older phone is always good!
Whag is the blue wallpaper you are using?
Blue MacOS Big Sur HD phone wallpaper
Ive seen it on samsung store, I’m torn between going to 15 or this because there’s notably differences between display but and camera but I already have an iPhone for taking photos and video stuff
If you can't get the A15 with 6gb ram. Get this. It has daul speakers a native screen recorder and better camera system.
Where you get the wallpaper?
I Googled "blue Samsung wallpaper" and chose one at random lol
Is switching from A14 to this a good idea? (i still want headphone jack)
Definitely! This is the highest A Series with a headphone jack that isn't an older phone
The M34 5G will be better as it has the same exact specs as thsi one , but with extra battery with a gaint 6000mlA battery .
I used an A21s since 2021 til 2024 I gave it to my younger brother to buy an Honor 90 lite A series is a decent lineup
I have one of these and it's fireeee
🔥🔥🔥
I have the A10 and it's quite a great phone to me in past but over time I realized how limiting it was . Still tho it still does the job well for basic tasks. I went with OnePlus Nord 3 Ce this time. But My eyes are still on Redmi or Honor or Realme-Oppo-Vivo etc from BBK. Good phone but each company has a trade-off for something.
I'm going to buy one soon and chose the A25, not because the A35 is expensive, but because the A35 is heavier. I don't know why weight doesn't matter to anyone:)
They need like 3 A series, 3 S series and one FE release in the middle of the year, that's it.
This year would have been A15, A35, A55, S24, S24+, S24U, then S24 FE in the middle of the year in between the A55 and S24. A0x should be ditched, time to go 5G only. Instead of S24+ being a bigger S24, it should have S24U's camera setup without the pen and smaller screen. Then the S24FE would be like cheaper but bigger S24.
In Australian Amazon the A25 is actually more expensive than the A35, and the A35 is the one selling in bricks and mortar stores
Me watching this video in my samsung A25 5g in south Africa 😊 I love this phone.
Yes barely anyone knows about this phone, but have you ever heard of the Galaxy A82/Quantum 2? There's barely even videos about it. It's also the most high-end A-series Samsung phone ever, and its also the ONLY A-series phone other than the S or Note Series that has a Curved 120Hz Display
I have not! I'll have to see if I can find that phone...
Please tell me where you got that wallpaper
I Googled "Blue Samsung Wallpaper" and picked one at random lol
U can get an A54 for $250-$350 nowadays, really no point in getting the 25 or 35 right now unless it’s on sale for a good price
I know about that phone. That and the A15 are super good but the A25 has a bit of a better resolution than the A15. However the A15 is more the best selling android smartphone in the world since everyone on earth bought it especially me.
The only thing that I don't understand about the Samsung A25 is that they removed the third card slot. As the Samsung A24 had three card slots.
Still a better screen than the newest iPhone
A25 is a perfectly fine device and discounts could be had too. Shame that the hole punch from the A21s hasn't returned because the notch is really the only downside to this device. Hoping the hole punch comes back for next year's A26.
End of the line for the A2x series for me. Samsung kind of offer basic good functionality starting A05x, tier previously reserved for the A1x series. And now the A1x series is specwise on the tier level of previous A2x models. Samsung is streamlining its lineup, easier to manufacture and for software support..less software development expenses, so expensive. A2x series 💀.
My little brothers phone is the A25 5G. Because of the headphone jack. I have the A35 5G.
Have you heard pf the M35? Basically a A35 with bigger battery and side mounted fingerprint scanner
I know of the M Series but we don't get them in the U.S. unfortunately
you don't know about them , We consider them flagship level (pricing) where I live
the least expensive of them is about one month salery 🤷
Oh interesting! Where do you live??
Watching on my a25
I bought a A15 for 125 Euros new to test. It's very good for the money, but a little slow in all day performance.
Slightly used A55 are available here for 200 Euros and the prices are falling... Almost no reason to take a really cheap device, even when they are "okay"
@Daemonarch2k6 sad that all higher end Samsung models ditched audio jack, thats the only thing that prevents me from purchasing them.
Ill always suggest a used/renewed devices like an old S Series over a new budget phone, but for some people they can get a prepaid contract for $10-$25/mo and get a phone like this for free. So it really depends on whats available
