Bullcrap, if you want a phone that literally just calls you're getting a flip phone for $20. We live in an era of technology, you need apps to use things and we use them for pictures or videos instead of buying or carrying a camera with you. They replaced cd or mp3 players long ago as well.

I use A34 and bought A15 for my son because the chipset Samsung has use.mediatek way better than exynos...more battery efficient and no heating problem...I skip A35 because exynos...exynos more battery consumption and also heat all time.because before this...I have use Samsung with exynos chipset..it's disappointing for me.
So you're saying Exynos sucks big time? I thought MediaTek was trash chip compared to Snapdragon and should be avoided but you're saying Exynos is even worse?
I bought A15 2 months ago and it have problem of glitch and I have give my mobile 2 time in last month in service center but the problem in still going on. The service center said it is Manufacturing folder but they won't give replacement I was use samsung mobile for 6 years
Are you still using the Samsung keyboard on the Samsung A15 5G phone? If so, you should install Gboard (Google Keyboard) and set it as your default keyboard. This has fixed issues for me, such as app clashes and the keyboard not popping up in the browser.
I've had this phone for a month now can't use it, it does have that clear cover over it ,it won't open up to let me see my screen and nothing, I would love to set things up but won't let me in. Any suggestions? Thank you

The charging of a device is characterized by the sustained current the charger can provide, not the watts. While Power (watts) = Volt x Amps, and the chargers/usb have 5V standard, it is the current that can be raised up if the charger is able to. Rising the volts may lead to burn.
I bought this as phone along with a micro SD card for my 12 year olds first phone I doubt very seriously he will have any of the concerns presented in this video
No matter if I have an app set to "never sleep", apps still crash and restart when in the background. The battery SUCKS as well. I have PLENTY of memory on the phone, using 2.8g of memory and 42g of storage. I don't keep a lot of apps in the background, maybe 2-4 when I'm doing projects and switching between them. But this last month, the apps keep restarting when I switch to another. IRRITATING!
I am looking at this phone and the 2024 Motorola G Power 5G, which is on sale now for $199, the same price as the A15 5G. The G Power comes with 8GB of ram and a better processor, the Dimensity 7020. It does have an LCD screen, which isn't a big deal for me because the the phone I have now, which is a Samsung Galaxy A10e, also has an LCD screen and I find no problem with it. If the A15 came with a LCD screen, they could probably could have put in 6 or 8GB of ram and a better processor. Samsung does offer more OS updates and security patches for their phones than Motorola, which is important.
I wonder if anybody noticed after they bought the package that protects your phone When you install the final piece does anybody see the extra little camera at your left hand thumb I only noticed it because I put up a screen protector but there's an extra camera to look at you what's that for God only knows I also noticed a basically invisible camera on tablets and on TVs there's a certain blank area that nobody really notices unless you look good why
This and Moto are great budget phones. I've used Samsung and Moto budget phones and both work great. Samsung have better screen but Moto phones are cheaper. Moto even sells their lowest end play phone for like $100.
Wow are your serious. A budget phone getting 5 year update is crazy. I'm using Moto and they only give one Android update and 2 years. That's why I'm looking at Samsung now because of Android update.
Charging for me is slow, only bought yesterday, didn't come with a adapter for standard charging blocks, or a charging block. Bought a cable for standard charging block. But charging aside, it loses charge quickly, that has nothing to do with dollar store cable. And yes I have fast charging set, was already set. I need a 3 amp charging block haven't found one yet, mine are 2 amp. I have a Samsung A10s that charges very fast
I recently purchased the A15... the worst thing about it is the virtual proximity sensor...it isn't accurate when on call.. the screen lights up ....apart from that , the phone is solid.. but the sensor is a big let down and definitely makes this phone not worth buying...
I'm currently looking for a new phone, seeing you're VS series I'd love to see the Motorola razr 2023 vs the Samsung galaxy a25, i think a video like that would be very helpful for my search because I'm wanting to know if the razr would be worth taking the extra step up in price.
I just was looking at the Razr from a family member and looked cool but when I held it and looked at the folding aspect of it, I did not like it one bit. Glad I never bought it 😅
Get the folding if you really want it. But you can get more powerful Moto for the same price without folding. I'm using old Moto and no complaints. But RAZR is cool for the compact form factor and nostalgia for anyone that used the original.
first u r using the 4 GB version which is a low amount of ram these days second :the 5G model has Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ Chipset and the 4G model has Mediatek Helio G99 so I'm not sure which one u r using right now cause in the description it says 5G but u mentioned it has a G99 chipset which means its the 4G thanks for the video ❤❤❤❤
Here in Scandinavia the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G smartphone 4/128GB has the eight core MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Samsung launches so many different versions of their same model it's crazy... The A15 comes with 4GB, 6Gb, 8GB ram and 128 GB or 256 GB storage.There are different color choices on every continent. I bought the A15 in a light blue expensive looking shimmering color, in many places they don't even sell this version and this color... very weird.

Useful video, thanks. Took delivery of mine last week - had to wait a couple of days for "the Phone guy" to come set it up.. but its working now... but I have no idea how to use it. Think I'll go back to what they call "dumb phones".... I'm fine with them. Way too much going on with this Wanna Be mini computer. Just my opinion - and I accept I'm just too old to keep up.
4 GB is enough. The trick is don't load too much junk on your phone. If you use a ton of apps and do heavy duty gaming then more RAM helps but 4 GB is enough.
Honestly 4 GB is enough. I'm using a dinosaur Moto 3 GB and still works fine but no more updates. That's why I'm looking at this Samsung for updates. You can get 6 GB but need higher cost model. Depends what you do on phone. If you're big on apps and gaming then it helps.
8-10 hours a day of charging needed, 1+ hours per 10% per hour charge on fast charge with battery protection off in real life. Nothing compared to my 7 year old Motorola.
I bought it a week ago. It yot hung right now. And its not working.... Display is totally hanged.. Can't restart or turn off the phone, buttons are working though. Anyone knows how to fix that??
I thought the photos looked pretty impressive as far as detail,and if there’s a Gcam APK for the phone I’m sure that would look great. Video quality on the other hand 🤧 🗑️
Honestly I compare my budget phone to my buddy's iPhone and can't tell the difference. At least in daylight but nighttime iPhone pixel and high end Samsung have better software. The hardware is fine but the software they use for night photography is better.
I have this phone, the wide setting on the camera takes awful photos, pixilated and flat. The normal.setting is fine though. I had an A12 before and the wide setting was fine.
I bought a samsung galaxy a15 yesterday and I paid $350 before tax,$369.85 with thanks. I never do a review before because,my other phone stopped working and I want a phone right away. So now I'm doing a review. Thanks for video.
After I bought this phone, I noticed the lag right away. I've only had it a little over a month and the amount of times it's just completely frozen up or lagged so bad that it was unusable is unreal. This is the worst Samsung phone I have ever owned (and I've owned several)
Does anyone else have the problem of which when you watch a video on yt you can't watch h it any higher then 720 because it then turns into a PowerPoint slide or just mine
Haha I'm on 2019 Moto G7 power. Only 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, stuck on Android 10 and still rocks, no slowdown and I can do everything on it and even game mobile legends. But Moto only gives one Android update though for the price honestly can't complain.
@JacobDobosz aye ! I’m torn between the A35G or the A15G . I only use my phone as a phone / text and online banking and the occasional photo . The 35 is waterproof whilst the 15 is not . The updates on the phones are 4 and 5 years security. Take care and thanks again 🍺
Camera is bad. The preview is much better than the actual photo. When you zoom you see a nice Image on the screen, but after taking the photo it is much worse. That is really annoying. Is there a solution for this? My Note 8 makes better photos. And 50 MP is a lie. There is no difference in quality berween 12MP pic and 50MP pic.
That can't be right. Note 8 is a dinosaur phone so this 50 MP phone must be hugely better no? Did you try setting the camera to full 50 MP resolution then you get maximum quality without pixel binning. When zoom in you can see more detail. One advantage note 8 have is optical stabilization and I don't think think this budget phone have that so just hold the phone steady don't shake. One thing you can do is add fillers in Instagram or other app to boost quality so even cheap cameras can take pictures like iPhones. I know that's cheating but on Instagram no one will notice the difference.
@jonfreeman9682 I own this phone.Front camera is bad when is used for video calls and in low light.Back camera I will say average but still no stabiliser
@@LAZYJOHN101 Most budget phones use cheap front camera parts to keep cost down. Back camera is pretty good in daylight but nighttime can't compete with iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. The low res wide angle and macro are useless but if the main back camera works okay then it's fine as most people share photos on Instagram on a small phone screen so you never notice the quality even if shot on an iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. But front camera isn't the best on all budget phones. If you upgrade to say Samsung a35 you get better camera but it's double the price and you can get the pixel 8a or older iPhone with much better camera at that higher price.
I had this phone for a few months and it's great, I'm a nurse and it has withstood the abuse I give it and does everything I need it to do and more, I find your criticism a bit harsh.

Who really cares about fingerprints. Buy a case like most people do.
There is a case that allows finger prongs I have it
Yes u are right
True, also a screen protector would solve it if it bothers you, plus extra protection
All phones will have a reflection on it because glass is reflective. So it is not a legitimate issue 🤔
I never understood this critique. Same with fingerprint comment.
Anti-reflective coatings can reduce reflections by 80-90%. These strange colours you see in expensive binocular lenses are caused by those coatings.

4Gb of RAM sounds a bit short for a phone you can keep for 4 years+. I'll wait for the Samsung Galaxy A16. Hopefully it will have 6 or 8 of RAM.
Honestly 4 GB is enough. I'm using a dinosaur Moto 3 GB and still works fine but no more updates. That's why I'm looking at this Samsung for updates. You can get 6 GB but need higher cost model. Depends what you do on phone. If you're big on apps and gaming then it helps.
8-10 hours a day of charging needed, 1+ hours per 10% per hour charge on fast charge with battery protection off in real life. Nothing compared to my 7 year old Motorola.
I bought it a week ago. It yot hung right now. And its not working.... Display is totally hanged.. Can't restart or turn off the phone, buttons are working though.
Anyone knows how to fix that??
You have a warranty right?
You hold the power button down for 10 seconds. Works on all phones.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You forgot to mention how much ram your samsung has
6gb Version I'm on Runs Pretty Buttery.
I think I'll get that for my mom, her old phone had 3gb and she really complained about it being too slow
@@theemclane4037that's not a phone ..it's more a punishment 😂
@@theemclane4037it’s not necessarily the ram, it’s the processor. Don’t get performance and memory mixed up.
Is it slimer than the 14 5g???
No it’s fine ..
Nah, it is Gozer not Slimer.
Not to worry if you don’t have a case. You soon won’t have a phone.
I’m not noticing at all that “the” is pronounced “dee” dozens of times.
I thought the photos looked pretty impressive as far as detail,and if there’s a Gcam APK for the phone I’m sure that would look great. Video quality on the other hand 🤧 🗑️
Honestly I compare my budget phone to my buddy's iPhone and can't tell the difference. At least in daylight but nighttime iPhone pixel and high end Samsung have better software. The hardware is fine but the software they use for night photography is better.
I have this phone, the wide setting on the camera takes awful photos, pixilated and flat. The normal.setting is fine though. I had an A12 before and the wide setting was fine.
TH-cam doesn’t work on Samsung galaxy a15 5g
I was playing a vid from TH-cam
Yeah me too
I just watched this on a a15 4g fine
Have you gone through the full load procedures when you first set up your phone of you don't this will happen
I bought a samsung galaxy a15 yesterday and I paid $350 before tax,$369.85 with thanks. I never do a review before because,my other phone stopped working and I want a phone right away. So now I'm doing a review. Thanks for video.
btw if you tap the screen twice, it goes on (w/o using the side button)
always sold out in my area tho
I read many reviews on this phone having many problems. I wanted to buy one but was put off.
Thank so much for this great review. This phone is now a definite 'no' for me.
I'm using galaxy a15 4g 8GB ram 256GB
Intro music is wayyy too loud
Seriously, grow up.
Will it get galaxy AI?
it is said that every Samsung phone with android 14 will get one ui 6.1 update meaning it will get galaxy ai
@@ahmadharoon3388LMFAO that's only for the high-end S series phones dude. The bottom of the barrel a15 isn't getting any ai features 😂
After I bought this phone, I noticed the lag right away. I've only had it a little over a month and the amount of times it's just completely frozen up or lagged so bad that it was unusable is unreal. This is the worst Samsung phone I have ever owned (and I've owned several)
It's lagging because of your 4gb RAM, you should have gotten the one with 6-8 RAM
You must have loaded something on the phone to cause the lag. Is it a buggy app or maybe game that's too CPU intensive?
U have 5g u got dimensity 6100+ that why it lags
No its ram 4 gig I have 6gig no lag
Does anyone else have the problem of which when you watch a video on yt you can't watch h it any higher then 720 because it then turns into a PowerPoint slide or just mine
Lol I'm still rocking a 2020moto g stylus. Still works great
Haha I'm on 2019 Moto G7 power. Only 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, stuck on Android 10 and still rocks, no slowdown and I can do everything on it and even game mobile legends. But Moto only gives one Android update though for the price honestly can't complain.
😂 Meanwhile, I'm still on LG G6, Android 9. It's last security patch was early 2019, and LG doesn't even make phones anymore.
My 2021 moto g stylus stopped turbo charginf sadly
A15 is a great phone
This phone blows... So laggy.. Back to my 14 I go
It means you're using too many apps or too many big apps. This is a decent phone that can do gaming.
Does this phone support Link to Windows?
@JacobDobosz sure ill remind you on thursday
@JacobDobosz thanks for letting me know!
@JacobDoboszis it dual sim ?
@JacobDobosz Hi Jacob ,
Thanks for prompt reply . Info was useful 🍺
@JacobDobosz aye ! I’m torn between the A35G or the A15G . I only use my phone as a phone / text and online banking and the occasional photo .
The 35 is waterproof whilst the 15 is not . The updates on the phones are 4 and 5 years security.
Take care and thanks again 🍺
Turn off RAM PLUS
This phone is one of my bad celphone base from my experience
Camera is bad. The preview is much better than the actual photo. When you zoom you see a nice Image on the screen, but after taking the photo it is much worse. That is really annoying. Is there a solution for this? My Note 8 makes better photos. And 50 MP is a lie. There is no difference in quality berween 12MP pic and 50MP pic.
That can't be right. Note 8 is a dinosaur phone so this 50 MP phone must be hugely better no? Did you try setting the camera to full 50 MP resolution then you get maximum quality without pixel binning. When zoom in you can see more detail. One advantage note 8 have is optical stabilization and I don't think think this budget phone have that so just hold the phone steady don't shake. One thing you can do is add fillers in Instagram or other app to boost quality so even cheap cameras can take pictures like iPhones. I know that's cheating but on Instagram no one will notice the difference.
👍
Does everything I need. S20 died (fell apart, I'm tough on phones) and Verizon tried to sell me a $900 replacement. Held firm and only spent $200.
Fake sparkles and nothing real
Im having hell with that phone
For me it's te same... the phone is fine but it's so slow
Extremely slow.. I'm like wow
What are you doing to cause it so slow? Do you do heavy game or too many apps?
Samsung Smashing APPLE LMAO
Yea i have this phone in my junj drawer. Its Garbage.
The camera is garbage.Don t buy
What's wrong with camera? Have you tried it?
@jonfreeman9682 I own this phone.Front camera is bad when is used for video calls and in low light.Back camera I will say average but still no stabiliser
@@LAZYJOHN101 Most budget phones use cheap front camera parts to keep cost down. Back camera is pretty good in daylight but nighttime can't compete with iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. The low res wide angle and macro are useless but if the main back camera works okay then it's fine as most people share photos on Instagram on a small phone screen so you never notice the quality even if shot on an iPhone pixel or high end Samsung. But front camera isn't the best on all budget phones. If you upgrade to say Samsung a35 you get better camera but it's double the price and you can get the pixel 8a or older iPhone with much better camera at that higher price.
Who cares about the speaker!most will use Bluetooth anyway.
Perfect phone for broke people
What kind of phone u got
How many phone have you been robbed of,
