Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A04s

74.7% Samsung Galaxy A04s smartphone review - Inexpensive phone with scarce memory | Notebookcheck
Samsung's entry-level phone gets a makeover and has also improved in some aspects compared to the predecessor. However, the competition has not slept and some are cheaper and ahead in terms of features. Can the Galaxy A04s still keep up?
Samsung Galaxy A04s Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
For the upcoming 2023, the Samsung Galaxy A04s can consider a great choice in the entry-level segment. It got a simple design, necessary specs, 4G connectivity, presentable photos and video recording options, a pretty clean UI, and decent battery life on top. Although, there are a few flaws such as lower resolution, less bright display, average video recording, and so on. An alternative option for this phone could be Honor Play 40 Plus but it cost a little more, even though it’s a slightly older phone, it’s a totally worth-it deal if, for some reason, you don’t like this A04s in the first place. But the fact can’t be denied that this phone is released at a quite affordable price range and some downsides can be overlooked once in a while. Hopefully, the phone is available on the global stage so that you won’t face any problems purchasing this phone.

52% Samsung Galaxy A04s review
Source: GSM Arena English
The phone's performance is subpar, and the storage space provided by the base memory configuration is inadequate. It could work for someone who is mainly interested in making calls or staying in touch. But for more demanding use cases, we find it hard to recommend. With a low max brightness and low resolution, laggy software experience, and slow charging, there are better options out there - some even coming from Samsung's own camp.

Only a few smartphones have larger screens.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.
