Let’s be honest, for most people this phone checks all the boxes.
I just need a burner phone for work, so I think I'll go for it!
@@halfrightfaceburner phone for work? kinda sus
@@realcartoongirl 🥸
Yup but some want moon pics 😂
Yeah, if you are a potato.
A15... Got her today... On my hand the most beautiful creature made by Samsung. Love it. 😊😊
And you are a most beautiful creature made by God..
Is Motorola Neo 30 better ?
got mine yesterday
@@angel-ij4xvis this better than Motorola phones?
@@1meancyberbully329 yes
Great review! I have upgraded my Samsung A12 on this because it has 5G. Man, Samsung is very durable. My A12 is still good after 3 years of use. You can never go wrong with Samsung!
I just got this phone. It's a very fast equipped phone when your on the go and in a fast pace environment. Like the fingerprint unlock feature is on point. The swiping on point too
4gig? Yeah FP surprised me
What carrier are you using it with?
GSMARENA was my go to before the TH-cam review era!!
Good to see you guys!!
Subbed!!
Got mine for $128 out the door from T-Mobile today. I have an iPhone 11 and the A15 5G is definitely an upgrade.
That's a downgrade and a half flagship to budget
iPhone X and newer is better than any budget Samsung phone like the A15
I’m typing this on my work iPhone 11. It’s a turd, they gave me a 7 before and the battery was shot in 1.5 years. I’d never buy one of these over a cheap Samsung. My crappy old J2 prime is still chugging along but it’s too old to run some things. I’m buying the A15 as I am looking for a new job and won’t have this iPhone for long
I Phones are a Waste of Money...My Samsung Phone and Tablet are Faster than My Families Apple Crap...@theo.awadalla
Headphone jack🗣🗣
It’s good to see Amoled screen on Samsung’s budget phones. However, I think I’m gonna wait for A55 if it has some interesting upgrade too.
@StopthatThinking don't think I will. Battery on iphones older than 14 is just worse. 😓
Great review. This A15 5G looks identical to my A25, but I am glad I bought the latter, the extra 50 bucks price difference seems to be worth it.
Is Motorola Neo 30 better ?
@@KoalaBeer. Yes, Motorola Edge 30 Neo is better than Samsung A15 5G in most aspects:
- better screen refresh rate (120 Hz vs. 90 Hz)
- better ingress protection (splash and dust resistant vs. nothing)
- faster processor (Snapdragon 695 5G with 380.818 Antutu v9 score vs. Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ with 306.274 Antutu v9 score)
- better proximity sensor (real vs. virtual)
- better speakers (stereo vs. mono)
- faster charging (68W vs. 25W)
The phone to get for people who want the features that matter the most to most smartphone users without wanting to pay up to $1000 more for any of the S24 models. I'd buy it.
I switched from S21 to this phone because of the longer battery, but it ticks all of the boxes I need for a phone. No need spending much and this phone doesnt need a cover
Galaxy A15 my dream phone 😍 cant wait to save money and buy this to play my favourite games, Pree Payyee and Pabjee Mobeel at 8k max settings 500fps wow
lol cmon
Lmao i love when people make fun of indians
I love how you go through reviews just to write this
@@reminemisimmortal8983 i love when people try to overact and write " lmao "
@@user-cq8hw3ni7g its just a way to express laughter, aint that deep
I got this phone free when changing service and went from an A53 5G to this. I know the A53 has better specs but with day to day use they seem about the same. I'll probably go back to my A53 just because the camera is better but other than that it would be hard to tell them apart. I think the fingerprint reader is better on the A15 and it has an actual headphone jack so those even things out a little.
Is the camera too bad on the A15?
A15 has a headphone jack?
No please don't go back
@@rubighosh1466 Yep, it on the bottom to the left of the mic and charge port. Also has removable micro SD card for extra space.
Bought it yesterday and I'm in love with it perfect phone❤❤

Does it have emojis like iPhone?
Around 160 is the phone
Yes it does @@preetkaur1343

In video speaker test like the old days! Classic 😊
I bought this phone just for my curiosity and it's pretty good aside from the meh camera quality. I own a Pixel 8 Pro and honestly this phone is pretty good for those on a very strict budget.
I got one a month ago and it is the best bang for your buck. The display is 🔥
I'm upgrading from a a03 ...just wanted to know that I can but a sd card in it ...new phones that make u pay for more storage is a no no..

@jeremy4249 I have a 256gb SD card in it and it has all my roms and emulators and music on it .
This may be wrong of me to ask here but what about Angie? Like personally, are you guys still keep in touch with her? I know she moved on to start her own channel but she hasn't posted anything in a while. Both here and on her Instagram. I'm just worried about her. So please if you guys have any news, please share. Thank you.
Ran of with man to India …
My elder brother bought this for me 😊❤
The one thing that I like about this phone and Samsung phones in general is the sound quality in videos, they sound pretty nice, my S20 FE captures sounds with great quality and I couldn't be more happier. This A15 has great quality sound in video as well.
Hey I have this phone just 2 days ago!
It was a really good phone and I am gonna use this phone for my school thats gonna start in 4 more days
Really shines and does more!
A15 is basically A24 in disguise
A24 the latest model in A series the A15 now is the first new Model in A series and I love it❤
Isn't that every year?
And why is that bad? Since it’s much cheaper than the a24
But The A24 is sooo much better!!
@@terrancemaulana4058 false the phones are the same same process only difference is that one is called a24 other a15 and a24 a bit smaller
I just bought the Galaxy A15 a few days ago and so far I like it. It's probably too early to say for sure but so far it's a pretty good phone. I bought the Samsung galaxy A20 around 3 years ago and I loved it! Until the screen pixels crapped out on me after 2 or 3 months. I paid $80 to repair the screen and the new screen crappmonths. after 6 months. I was soon mad!!! 😂😭😠 So, I'll wait past 6 months to see how this version really works for me. 😅😊
Just got it. Replacement for my overheated s21, its really good for a budget phone
Most people using phones at this price range won't be needing the 5G speed, I appreciate the option thou, but getting the cheaper 4G model is probably the wiser choice.
actually i find it useful as a mobile 5G hotspot device, those are still crazy expensive today. wish there are smaller phones tho
@SyukriLajin works if reception is exceptional in your area. Unfortunately, phone antenna is much worse than dedicated hotspot devices'.
Actually in this price point it good for secondary phone as well so working as 5g hotspot device would be nice because i dont want drain my main phone battery so secondary cheap one like this is good enough…. Its good to have option as u can reach out to more customers base
In jndia 5g is unlimited however 4g data is limited to 1.5-3gb daily.
We need 5g device for hotspot😂😂😂😂
Yeah but It's good that Samsung has always done this to the A1x series as it attracts different types of customers. It reaches out a wider variety for buyers.
This phone impressed me! For an entry level, you can't go wrong with this!
Yay ive been waiting for this video
I just bought this phone and it's crazy to me that this was a budget phone. I literally ordered it online, added a nice case and had it delivered in about 40 minutes... all for under $200 total. The amount of bang for your buck is pretty crazy and although I'm used to my iPad finger sensor location, I am really liking the feature built into the power button. Also, battery life matters to me and this is an upgrade over my last phone.
A15 5G was released march 2023 herr in Phil. I bought mine march31 2023. .and I am very satisfied for the quality. My friends went crazy when I use this under the rain 🤣🤣🤣 until now nothing change, it seems like brand new when it comes to phone overl all performance.
kamusta na cp mo now? smooth pa din ba?
@@Inierr yes sobrang smooth. Sinasabay ko pa nga ML tsaka TH-cam. .worth it tlga siya pre
Long lasting battery pa rin ba?
I'm choosing between Samsung a15 and Redmi note 13, sabi kasi nila is quality vs quantity ang labanan.
Please can you give me advice/comments about a15?
@@Inierr smooth pa rin po. .pinagsasabay pa nga ML at youtube
@hinaizuki9627 yes po. .prang motolite. .hehe
Dear Samsung please get rid of this dam notch.Bring the punch hole in all of your devices.It is a humble request
I actually love it... but we should have the choice
This isn't Samsung ok on it...🤔
0:45 I’m here to watch the great review on this phone I just found at $100 dollars and with all due respect I started to watch this video and I was thinking about the “uncle Roger”guy lol😜I hope you don’t get offended by my dumb comment 😮
Watching this on my Samsung A34. I love Samsung
Thank you so much Gsmarena
Does it support 4k (2160p) video playing on TH-cam?
the display is only 1080 p so streaming 2k -4k wont be seen .yes it would support said res
Yes it play 1440p but if you use a. Ab. It will play 2160p.🇬🇧😉
Some corrections:
The A15 5G uses a different processer than the A15 4G. Both phones have OIS, not EIS, both phones get supported for 4 years OS updates, 5 years for security, and you can change the display colours on both devices,and both phones can take 50 mp photos for more detail which they didnt do in the camera test for some reason.
Nice review, many thanks. Apologies for my ignorance, but why would one need or prefer 4g vs 5g or vice versa? Thanks.
Internet connection speed is wayyyyy faster on 5g than 4g.. Only reason to get a 4g phone would be because A) your country/city doesn't have 5g connectivity available or B) you want to save money, and don't use the internet often from the phone.
Why is the Samsung A15 4G faster than the A15 5G when I always hear that 5G connectivity phones are faster ?
5g has always been a marketing scam.
Also, the 5g connectivity won't change anything related to the phone "speed", only network speed.
While 5g compatible socs in the past were seen as better due to being tied to higher end socs, now that even cheap socs have 5g, people will see that it never made a difference.
bit confused as to the tone in this review compared to the 4G version, is the camera not the same? I watched it a few days ago (since thats the model I'm getting) and I remember him talking much more negatively about the camera
I will buy this phone end of may, from A03 to A15.
The best budget phone between A05s & A25
Did you bought this
@@user-xn9xi7zd6w yes
Does it lag and it hase battery drain issue or network connectivity problem
I love Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, I did some tests on it, didn't even break, I even poured water on it, didn't do ANY damage!
Updated comment: Guess the issue at 3:22 verifies Notebookcheck's test of the A15 LTE having better UFS controllers than the 5G version.
Original comment: Any other complaints that aren't based on skill issues?😂
Some website said the 4G version has faster storage speed despite both models being UFS 2.2.
Why are they still releasing a separate 5g and 4g version? 5g stopped being a premium (or even midrange) feature years ago.
There are countries where 5G isn't available yet or 5G in some areas aren't fast enough. So it makes sense that people would get the 4G version as it is cheaper.
@@summerwintermelon Exactly, like in my country Indonesia, 5G might not be equally spread across the country until 6 years to come, so 4G phone is still on high demand.
Can you watch youtube videos while browsing or using other apps?
Yes!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 THE TOUR 😊
Samsung did a good job for thier budget phones.
They should do that from now
Their entire line-up is really good now.
xiaomi did better for budget phones
My galaxy A01 can handle Red Dead Redemption 2 at 8k Ultra settings 500fps
@@sedlyffedamn that's crazy
Big fan of this video visual direction 🙏
Bro samsung A34 or moto edge 40 neo ?
Which is best?
I just shattered my 21ultra so i think im gumna pull the trigger on this budget phone for a while
I saw a gunshop right across from your studio😂😂 5:29
Thanks for the review: comprehensive, succinct, and interesting.
I gave my daughter this phone hope she likes it❤
Well, if she doesn't, return it and see how she likes them apples.
Does this phone have a notification diode? Like, does it shine with a color when a message comes or a missed call? Thank you!
Good review. Happy with my A15. Battery life is awesome.
No charger in the box. I am not isheep to buy a phone without changing brick. We have choices in the android market
All manufacturers are following the Apple move, even xiamoni, following them unless you want tecno but that phone is horrible
You have to buy your own charging block. Luckily since I have an iPhone I can use it to charge the phone.
Does anyone's A15 come with Motion Photo option in their main camera screen?
I'm seeing videos on how to enable it but mine does not have to button option.
To be honest I have it and I'm not really happy with it. It's extremly chunky and power button is horrible to use. I can never use it without looking, you can barelly feel it. I would not recommend it.
I bought this 10days ago, and i am not happy with this, sometimes it fells laggy in daily usage😢
Is it bad for gaming?? really need answer
Pls what is the difference between this A15 and Tecno Spark 20 pro?
Great phone for the price,
I've had a Galaxy A51 for a few years and I recently bought a A15 5g.I like it but my heart will always be with my A51 lol
Same, I dropped my a51 in the sea at jt got ruined jow toes the A15 compare?
@user-lf7cz6my4x It's not much different honestly.The A15 5g is basically an updated slightly faster A51
Redmi note 11 pro 5 g or this? Im using redmi but i have A15 as well.
Thank you gsm
It's all about the right lighting bro it's not that bad I have a Huawei p30 lite that takes super great photos in the day time and very detailed but when night time comes it's not as detailed I mean I have night mode on the phone and makes things look good and detailed but also the night mode is also about good lighting at night and once you get food lighting around led lights then photos be as clear as hell
Which is better to buy A15 4g or A15 5g
it is very decent, perfect for daily light/moderate use. I love the battery performance.
does it have smart view or screen mirror
Which would you prefer out of the Galaxy A54 or this A15?
Why a35 and a55 taking soo long to be launched
Wait, april, last year the a34 and a54 was launched in April
Watching from my A15 and I must say, it's just so good for its price
Camera comparison tecno spark pro Plus vs Samsung a15 best camera what is
Just got one and love it. I beat my addiction of apple
Hey has the a15 slowed down for you? Or is it still working fast?
@@cristakatsumi8515 still fast so far
@@cristakatsumi8515 I sent before but no it's still running fast. I hope u get this TH-cam not showing comments
Getting mine on Friday ❤❤
what is the max video resolution this mobile can read? 1080p60 or 1440p60 or 4K? while watching on youtube or reading a media file (video) from phone
Could I use this to play Pokemon Go, Adventure Capitalist and also use X and book flights?
Yes
Good job GSM ARENA
Which one is better a15 or a25?
A25
hey what can you say about oppo A17 versus samsung galaxy A15
why arent 6 inch phones made anymore, 6.5 inches is a bit big
I would like even smaller than 6 inch. iPhone4 was with 3.5 inch display (little bit bigger body) and was reasonable size to be put in the pocket. Instead to make them smaller, the trend end up that you need a backpack to handle your phone.
Does the A15 5g really has gyroscope like it says?
Dose its come with nfc in it
Even my 3yr old Redmi note 9pro max doesn't lag
Brought 4G of this phone two weeks ago 160$ 6GB RAM and 128GB of ROM
PROS ARE
1 Amoled display but compared to other phones like even galaxy s8 it looks little cheap idk why.
2 Battery is perfect it consume 10% every hour of screen time
3 One UI 6 is pretty good with no lag.
4 fingerprint scanner is very responsive and very fast i love it.
Cons
1 No HDR support for display.
2 bulky design and applying case and screen protector make it very heavy.
3 No OIS or EIS for camera. And 50mp photos looks washed out front camera is taking good photos but looks unnatural.
4 phone back is plastic and fingerprint marks are very visible. After wiping it several times tiny scratches was visible which is not good. I applied plastic protection in the back to solve further scratches.
5 Front screen have no protection its normal glass I was very sad that it didn't have any type of glass protection. So I applied screen protector to keep it safe.
The cons are very normal for the price and for the segment. They'll keep getting better each generation and the Amoled looks cheaper because it has dimmer pixels.
@@sspeedd8809 well at this price other brands like Xiaomi, Infinix gives more value even 2x value for this price. I just bought this phone because I used to ONE UI and Samsung echo system. If same UI and echo system was applied to other brands I would buy.
Where is the fingerprint secure at
How old is this phone
As an owner of both the A13 and A14, I do not recommend buying the phones unless you have good knowledge on how phones works or you're willing to pay for the 5G version which for some reason doesn't seem to have many issues.
Why do I say this?
1. The amount of lag is incredible, and many times I'll scroll on instagram unable to watch the reels bc of how laggy they are
2. It happened various times that the phone was about to explode after doing the smallest thing ever. Literally yesterday as wrting this my phone decided to black screen for 3 HOURS just because I closed an app too fast
3. It has problems with Literally anything. Either they lag when turning on the wifi, connecting a bluetooth device, or while installing something
There's much more that probably comes to mind (like that once half of my gallery disappeared) but you get my point. The worst part is that the A14 is for some reason triple the size of the A13 (except for the screen size) yet the performance is the same.
My conclusion then, is that don't buy this A1 or the A0 since they're a waste of money. I've had so much frustration over theses two phones that unless you have the money to buy the 5g versions, don't buy them. Either you buy an A2 or later lineup or you don't buy a Samsung at all. It's so sad how they slowly became the same thing as Apple... maybe I'm exaggerating maybe not either way I absolutely do not recommend the A15 even tho I've never used it
I forgot to add, I stopped using Spotify when connected to wifi bc the song are super laggy
I have this phone for work. It's horeendous when it comes to network coverage. V v v poor reception with frequent drops...
Should i buy this one for my mom or go for infinix zero 30? Samsung a15 is around 180$ and zero 30 is 200$ in my country. Please help which phone is good.
Samsung for long time use
Is this phone compatible with Galaxy Wearable App for the Samsung Smart Watch?
Is this made in South Korea? Thanks
My Nokia X10 5g is always switching between 4and 3g indoors but if I go outside it's always 5g.. not sure if I need a new phone as it's probably just as good if not better than this, I'd have to spend more to get better features.
Can you install ChatGPT?
The only thing I don't like about the A15 is it's not easy to take a screenshot....😢
You can take screenshot by clicking the lower volume button and power button, dont hold them, just press it together and then unpress it.
This is getting 4 year OS + 5 years security, not 3 years OS!
It's right in their product page!
Bought this today after broke My 4 year old a15. It's not spectacular, but i loved that phone, and this feels like a direct upgrade. The main downside is the camera, but i already had a shit camera, so there's not much to complain about.
5:51 Uncle Roger???👀😳😜
😂😂😂
The flashlight doesn't work when I'm taking pics using the back camera it's only works on the front camera, please assist
Someone should tell Samsung's design team to ditch the two secondary low quality useless cameras on the back and instead focus on a better main camera.
What is up with the 5G model being shittier than the 4G model.
It should be the other way around, lmao
I recently got it but it was so slow that I have to return it. It's a shame that Samsung sells phones that is barely useable for daily things like taking photos, opening maps. Everything is too slow.
This is my current phone. I went from the galaxy a24 fir 4 years with only 32 gigs so now having 128 gigs feels insane to me i can axtually download apps and take pictures again 🤣
Thank lots for sharing ♥️ 😊
Do a video on screen shot please
