Samsung Galaxy A15 5G Pros & Cons - GOOD, BAD & UGLY! 

Thank you for the video. Great work as always!!!

the pros were spot on the cons were very specific to your experience only thank you

Just got this because my trusty A51 BRICKED! Good thing I had everything backed up. I really like the fingerprint reader on the thumb instead on the screen. Got a really good armor case for it and it feel rock solid. Looking forward to a good long life with it!

The Blue Samsung Galaxy A15 8gb of RAM with a Storage of 256gb with a Micro SD card slot 2tb ready

Thank you for the great review. It made things much more clear for me and helped me in making my decision. Even though I don't subscribe to tech channels because I'm not really into that kind of stuff, I subscribed to yours. Very much appreciated.

Hmmmmm, you didn't mention, either in your pros or cons opinion, anything regarding the camera system. I know people who do want a budget-type phone with a good camera. I enjoy your reviews a lot and have suggested several phones to friends and family based on your videos.

Thanks for the review.

I have the Samsung Galaxy A15 5 G, but some of the texts I receive say to tap & download, but nothing the little blue thing just keeps circling. How can I fix this so I get to read all my text messages?

#1, too heavy. Much of what you said is Greek to me LOL. I do agree with the charging. I wasn't thrilled to have such a ton of apps pre loaded, but I'm an old lady & mostly just use phone, messaging and maps.

This is the right phone for my 77 years old Mom ❤ and Unt 😁 thanks for the info.

Charging the a14 might be set to adaptive so it slow charges then hurrys up the last 20% depending on how long you leave it on the charger. Not sure if you messed with it yet.

Am a seventy-year-old new Galaxy A15 user. It's been less than two weeks. As a senior, there's always a learning curve on any new device. The user manual is a joke! What's the deal with a C-to-C charger cable? Luckily, I still had a C to USB charger cable from my old phone.

Overall, this seems like a great device. Would you say all areas of performance are really good? Multitasking, phone calls, texting, etc. I really wish Samsung would have put dual speakers on this phone and given it some form of protection. Both gorllla glass and water/dust resistance. It doesn’t have to be top of the line protection but something.

Was at the store yesterday, couldn't help noticing the Galaxy A15 has a yellowish tint on its display, eventhough the eye comfort feature has been unchecked. Comparing it side by side with the A05, the latter didn't have the same prob.

In just my day to day living I have never heard anyone complain about the bezels on their phones. Except tech RU-vidrs. Also once you slap an OtterBox (my choice of case) on your phone you literally don't notice them anyway. As long as the viewing experience is good and the battery life is good I am very happy with this phone.

What storage version you have? Cause I saw in another video there is a version of 256gb storage, that is pretty damn good for the price

I just got this phone a few days ago and it's amazing i love it 😍😍

Great content. Thank you. I just ordered mine. I too am disgusted by $1000+ electronic leashes.

Thanks for the review ! I was also disappointed that the A15 has 4Gb of ram in 2024. Teardrop notch vs punch hole doesn't bother me. No 25 watt charger included ?? Come on. Like the 4 year OS upgrades and brighter , smaller super amoled screen. On the fence though. Considering Moto g power 5G. 2023.. more ram,(6Gb) more storage , stereo speakers Even though it only has 1 upgrade to Android 14, its always goes on sale(199.99 unlocked). I still have a moto g Play from 2018,lol .Samsung phones never go on sale (unlocked) even when new models are about to come out.

Gonna buy this maybe nextweek 😊

A better glass for the screen would be really nice and 6GB of RAM at $249.00 price point.

Mine has been freezing up, and at times, you can't restart it or shut it off. Coming from far more expensive phones it's fine but I don't like how thick it is and the size is too short but I knew this going in. I don't like the power button as it seems harder to find than most others at night. The screen capture works, but it was far easier to find and figure out on my previous phones. In the end I am fine with it. The freezing started after the last update, and hopefully, it will get sorted out.

What are folks getting SOT ?

Thx for the review.

I love the finger bio-metric button. It works like a charm.

The only issue I have with a15 5g is that there isn't a default screen recording. I was wondering why. Do you know?

The only thing I don't like about it lookimg at the specs is that it doesn't have Gorila glass :/ I wonder if it's a lot easier to break...

Is Samsung Pay compatible with this phone?

iam a long term samsung user. decided to change to other due to exynos issue since iam a gamer. decided to go with redmi pro 13+.but it became expensive. so came back to samung again and torn between m34 and A15. leaning more towards A15 due to its dimenity 6100+ comared to m34 exynos 1280. hope samsung releases more midrange with other chips

i have the a15.cant hook it up to my TV via hdmi to usdc cable..phone says it's charging the device.tv.device tv hdmi port is controlling usb..on phone.cant change in settings...why.anyone have issues connecting hdmi to usbc cable to tv..

great video mate

Is it better than the moto g stylus 5g 2023?

Is it a heavy phone 200gram? How’s everyday use holding. I’m used to like 150gram

Well illustrated video and highly descriptive but I think you made a mistake there that the Samsung Galaxy A15 gets 4 years of OS updates;it doesn't but A25 and above does

Thank you so much ❤

Hi guys! I'm looking for a new phone that can replace my Samsung Galaxy A6 but I can't find any that requests my needs. I'd like a Samsung that has a memory of 128 GB that can be expanded or just 256 GB, then it must have a jack for my earphones, a battery of 5000mAh with 25w fast recharge, the dimension around 160 x 77 x 8 mm. The glass protector isn't a must but I wouldn't mind if there was, same for water resistance. I'm not that picky for the camera, a decent one that can take pictures that aren't blurred. Budget 350/400 euros. I'm not into these kind of things so I know I'm asking a lot to all of you but I've been searching for hours without a decent result. I hope you will understand my request and help me.

I don't know about other countries but In Nepal we get free 25 watt Samsung original charger with phone itself and the base variant of this device in Nepal is 6/128 so it's perfect to buy

Plan get this as a upgrade from my Samsung galaxy A14 5G

if i want to upgrade to this is it worth it is it cameras good or should i go flagship

Hi, I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S10e...would this phone be an upgrade from my current phone or am I better off staying with my phone?

So far so good. Just got this yesterday. Still hasnt gotten that GREAT charge but it's super slow

Just bought the A15...several things I don't really like about it but so far it's ok.

Does it get really hot to hold after awhile because heat was an issue in my other phone

A15 let me tell you something. It took me 14 days to program at the way I wanted it after I got a program it has been charging the right way ever since I purchased it from MetroPCS it's a 5G device with a 4GB Ram Ram is everything

Ok brought today wow just wow what bang for buck…. 4gig ram runs smooth loud sound..iPhone feel to it no lag , refresh rate great … android 14 . Samsung u done good. For this price why buy flagships camera nice photos. 🎉🎉

Is this phone good for general purpose like phone calls youtube camera and stuff...??? Shld i buy this ...

I don't like that I don't see in the gallery where you can select specific pictures to share either in text messages or email. Also there is no option to receive voice notifications on who's calling or texting me. I had both those features on my LG stylo 6 which I used all the time. Do you happen to know ifthose options are in the Samsung A15 5G phone?

Does Live FM radio work with this phone?

It won't sync with my 2019 Ford Ranger. Why?

I just got this phone today and Really it's nice

For the price it has no cons you get what you pay for

6:49 not everyone looks for specs to differentiate the phones. This gen still need visuals. Ppl (must) dun read or search b4 buying.

Need to buy a new phone and I don't know what to choose moto edge 2023 moto g 5g pixel 7 or the Samsung A15 5g what would you suggest

My A15 WILLNOT take calls when RU-vid is on....tried and tried to turn this off...but for whatever reason...it wont

Got one a week ago. Has more than enough of anything I want. Fast as heck, no hang ups, loud, ugly button I didn't find to turn it on... Has updates on all the apps and no problems. I am not a pro... oh you can take like 10 pictures in one second, lots of stuff.

Works well but absence of wireless inductive charging is frustrating.

Would this be an upgrade from an iPhone xr?

I just got it for my birthday yesterday

I have the A13 and really wish this one were the same size. This one feels too thick and chunky.

Bro, Is your phone blinking its screen during call 📞? Or is it by company. Please guide me.

90hz display on a mid range galaxy. iPhone non pro models are 60hz still and cost several hundred more dollars.

I'm getting my new Galaxy A15 5G tomorrow

Nice review. Notice any PWM flicker ?

I had it for a few hours. It lagged and stuttered with just basic use, including Samsung's own apps. It was so bad that I returned it the same day.

The Samsung A15 5G doesn’t come with a built in screen recorder. The A25 5G does. So the A15 5G doesn’t have all the features that are normally in OneUI 6.

IAM RUNNING THE 4G CHARGED IT ON FRIDAY , WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON STILL GOT 27% BATTERY

I have the A15, but not 5G version i think. Do you know if this can be charged wirelessly?

I just bought this phone do you know exactly which charger I need to buy? thanks.

Both phones look premium equally because Samsung phones are made to look the same 😅so come on .but i get It its advertising. Marketing. But you know i hope this new one is as good as the A14 one.

Any way to get rid of the freezing and lag with this phone?? Having really bad issues with this one.

Looks rock solid for the price. I'd buy it. 👍

Amoled is inferior regardless of slight contrast. I will look for my favorite ips display any day it's more robust from breaking, brighter in the sun, better viewing angle, more accurate color. Thanks for reviewing

Thank you for saying it's not waterproof. It's an important thing if you live in Ireland where it rains often. My modest Oppo a16s is waterproof and is going strong after 2 years.

Spesifikasi nya bagus Samsung galaxy A15 5G👍

I keep getting these each year free, for paying my phone bill for a whole year in advance. shit ill take them, but i still use my iPhone 12 mainly. these things are great for emulating.

Thanks for the info. This phone does not have wireless charger support.

I found screen protectors online. Is it true that there aren’t screen protectors for these model?

It is the best one except microsoft app is not like working for some reason. I love it but almost sell it because run out of money while oversea. If don't load app outside samsung store then it is best even better than apple cost 4 times more

are you from Europe? Why don't you have 8gb ram there? We have that option here in the Philippines and I'm planning to get a15 on the weekends.

Great phone for my collection 👌 💯😎

"the gsm unlocked version is worth it" - just get a Canadian one, all Canadian phones by law must be gsm unlocked for free / no additional cost.

Does the A15 have always on display?

No screen record or Samsung Dex

Im kinda just getting this as a work phone while i still use a s10 as my main phone

Is the Samsung a15 5g better than the Samsung a32 5g? Im still using the A32 5g

I'll probably be going from a13 5g to the a15 5g through metro

I love this phone but the con with mine is the battery life on it is not great . First it only charge up to 85% then stop charging then the battery start to drain all by itself without you doing anything with the phone . Mind you I’m coming from a iPhone that has better battery life to this phone because I wanted to give android another chance , that’s the only thing that I don’t like about this phone is the battery.

I find hard to do screenshots

The phone is very good and the future is also great

I have a problem with mine and that it drains so fast like 99 prcent in 30 seconds

I got the A15 4g because I'm old school

Does the A15 have fm radio?

I just ordered for my grandpa Hopefully it's simple enough for him

Utter cons: no wireless charging, and not even a USB included in the new 15A package from Walmart, just a duplicate-ended short charging cord.. fortunately have a cranky old useless chromebook so using that huge charger setup.. this IS 2024, amirite?

Water drop notch and 90hz.. a big no.. for cheaper price we can get redmi note 13 with ounch hole notch, 120hz refresh rate and slimmest bezels

is this the black version or the blue black?

Another con: Doesnt come with built in screen recording Another con: The Samsung Galaxy app on this phone doesn't have the object eraser tool like the Galaxy a53 5G does Another con: The Dolby Atmos on this phone doesn't work without Bluetooth headphones connected the a53 you could use the Dolby Atmos option with and without headphones

Does it have wireless charging capability?

I dropped my A14 in the rain. Picked it up, and kept walking. It was a light rain, not a down-poor. Just a minute and a half in a light rain. It was enough to kill it. I had the phone in a shock protection case. So, it wasn't the drop. I tried to start it, and the phone was overheating. It was making a buzzing sound, and it was dead. I was just walking in the grass and dropped the phone, and a person behind me said, "You dropped your phone." I walked back and picked it up. It just had a sprinkling of rain on it, and it was dead. I guess I was lucky. I've used the phone in the rain before, and it got more wet at that time. Okay phone, as long as it does rain where you are. Kind of expensive otherwise.

Does it have Always on Display?
