i just activated this phone as a light use business phone. got it for $40 for phone + $150 for boostmobile year of their "unlimited" plan. the $150 for 12 months of service was a presidents day weekend sale. it was just over $200 for phone and service. ... it's a solid phone as far as i can tell. most of the samsung bloatware is un-installable as is most of the boost bloatware. speedtest here in kansas city the 5G is 73mbps down and 60 up. boost throttles those speeds though if try to stream video or download podcast.
I was hoping this site would do a step by step set-up of the phone for novices like me. Also information about a safe charger to use, how much charge does the phone come with and how to put in two sims and access them, etc. I wish phone companies would include a manual 😢.
I think its too heavy too. Ordered an s7 years ago from China and its about the same weight (and price). I scratched it, then dropped it and it cracked along the scratch (s7) within the first month and started bricking. No one would fix screen and it's retired.
Has anyone had this issue? ---I downloaded an old version of an app I need. When I did it said this version is not compatible with the latest Android. It suddenly changed all colors on the phone (including my photos) to pale/pastel. I still use the app. Calculator is especially pastel--no contrast. Other colors got a little better as time went on...
@AndrewDaley-lr9qg I don't like the phone at all . The speakers are horrible and the writing on the phone even after enlarged is horrible. I have had it 2 weeks and would love my money back but the store will not even talk about it and he was the one who told me it was a great phone.I really don't think I will purchase anymore Samsung anything!
@@karensteelman5398 but you believed a sales person without doing your own research. You have learned a valuable lesson there. Next time do the research.
Is the lagging performance on this phone that bad? And how would you say this phone compares to the A54? The A54 gets mixed reviews but I was wondering if the Dimensity 6100+ in this phone lags more than the Exynos 1380 in the A54.
I haven't used the tik tok app directly for video but it takes 1080p video it's not bad I have a camera test on the channel if you wanna check out the video quality.
@@BudgeTechReviews In the video you are impressed how snappy it is and indeed it looks like that! In the comment section you write its laggy... what is true now? I mean for todays standards the SoC might not be the fastest, yeah but its still on paar with the SD 845 which Iam also still using wihout any problems or lags during normal tasks like surfing, navigating etc
Love colour but is it heavy 200gram laggy?. Imagine this in 6.2 160gram snapdragon with good camera . Agree re stock big tiles I hate it motto has it too, one ui is the best out of all skins

Nice review and it seems like a good phone for that budget. Will you upload a camera review, low light, daylight, night shoots? Thanks
Thank you! Yes I plan to do a camera quality and video quality review.
Sot battery also

The a54 was definitely a much better device.
Is the camera for tik Tok videos good?
I haven't used the tik tok app directly for video but it takes 1080p video it's not bad I have a camera test on the channel if you wanna check out the video quality.
Is the back matte plastic with glossy finish or is it full glossy plastic?
Matte with somewhat of a glossy finish
Got one free. Adjusting.
Is this 4ram laggy or ok messaging ?
It's laggy

Why the stupid black border around the screen? I hate that. Waste of space.
