Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G

80.1% Samsung Galaxy A15 5G smartphone review – Important updates for the affordable phone | Notebookcheck
If you are looking for an affordable smartphone with 5G capabilities, then you may have encountered the Galaxy A15 5G. Samsung has tried to keep its phone up-to-date by giving it lots of new features. Has this been a success or has not much changed compared to the competition? Read our review to find out.
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G Review: 5 Years of Android for Under $200?
Source: Nextpit EN English
With the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, you are investing in a phone for under $200 that, in the best-case scenario, will last for five years and remain secure through updates. This alone constitutes a unique selling point that could justify its purchase. Following our comprehensive review, we found that the A15 5G is a rock-solid Android smartphone. As is typical for Samsung, the great display, timeless design and attractive Android overlay are particularly impressive. The main camera is also impressive in daylight, as is the performance, which is even sufficient for the latest mobile games. Thanks to a 5,000 mAh battery, the phone's battery life is also impressive. The only drawbacks are the limited flexibility of the camera, the rather moderate quick charging and the limited power reserves for the next few years. Apart from that, we recommend buying the A15 5G.

80% Samsung Galaxy A15 4G vs Galaxy A15 5G: Which is the better buy?
Source: Tech Advisor English
Ultimately, choosing between the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G and the A15 4G boils down to individual priorities and specific budgets. If you want 5G connectivity and slightly better performance, the A15 5G is the better option. However, if you’re content with 4G connectivity and dependable performance at a more affordable price point, the Galaxy A15 4G remains an excellent choice. Not if you’re in the US, though – the 5G version is the only one available there.

Both the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G and the Galaxy A14 5G offer compelling options in the budget smartphone market. However, the Galaxy A15 5G impresses with its solid design, large and smooth display, decent main camera, and long-lasting battery life, making it a strong contender for budget-conscious users. Although its limited computing power may hinder gaming or intensive tasks, and the additional camera lenses might not offer significant value, it remains a better choice for those prioritizing affordability and essential smartphone features.

The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is a very strong all-round budget phone, with its only real weakness being its lack of computing power. Therefore don’t buy it with gaming or other demanding tasks in mind but apart from this, it offers great looks, a big fluid display, a decent main camera, and impressive battery life. Yes, the additional camera lenses aren’t particularly useful, and yes, three years of core Android updates isn’t anything to write home about, but there are minor blemishes on a budget phone that otherwise provides great value.

70% Samsung Galaxy A15 5G review: A decent phone for the price
Source: Android Central English
Samsung's Galaxy A15 5G is a $200 phone that crams a lot of great features in a cheap package. The 6.5-inch screen is more than good enough, even if it has large bezels and a teardrop front-facing camera cutout. The phone ships with Android 14, and comes with the promise of four years of software updates. The camera system is passable, too. But the Galaxy A15 5G is seriously lacking in performance, and you'll notice lag in day-to-day usage.

82% Samsung Galaxy A15 5G review: Best under Rs. 30,000 right now!
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
Simply put, Samsung has delivered a good phone at a good price that might appeal to a lot of people. It doesn’t make compromises like shipping with an LCD display, or a dumbed-down OS like its predecessor did and offers a complete package for Rs. 28,000. The main camera is reliable, and the software and battery experience are also great for the price. The only downsides being a somewhat older-looking front, the exclusion of stereo speakers, and the lack of official IP and Glass protection ratings but none of those have been a dealbreaker for me. Processor and everyday performance is also what you’d expect of a sub 30,000 rupee phone so no complaints there either. And although 5G is not a thing in Nepal today, it’s comforting for many to have that option in the future.

Samsung Galaxy A15 5G Review: Is this sub-$200 phone good enough?
Source: Phone Arena English
So, should you buy the Galaxy A15 5G if you are looking for a decent budget phone? At a price of $200, this is one of the cheapest phones on the market. The biggest compromise Samsung has made was the performance: the A15 5G feels a bit on the slow side and even basic tasks take an extra moment to load up. However, the Galaxy A15 5G does pretty much everything else very well for its price. The 6.5" AMOLED screen looks gorgeous, the phone has the latest Android 14 and a promise for four years of software updates, it has a decent camera if you don't push it too hard, and battery life is also solid. Sure, it's not quite the best looking phone around with those chunky bezels, but it has enough at this price to be among your best sub-$200 phone options in 2024.

But the Galaxy A15 5G is an entry-level smartphone with 5G connectivity that makes sense, and Samsung got it right - it has the design and screen to impress and rich connectivity options, but something had to give, and in this case, it was the camera and the performance. Overall, we recommend putting the Galaxy A15 5G on your shortlists if you want to buy an affordable phone, though it probably won't be our top pick as you can get better value elsewhere.

Samsung's $199 Galaxy A15 5G offers several advantages over the A14, including double the storage, a brighter screen, and significantly better battery life. It also has a leg up on similarly priced competitors thanks to its solid overall performance, long battery life, and Samsung's excellent software upgrade commitment. As such, Samsung Galaxy A15 5G replaces the A14 as our Editors' Choice winner for low-cost Android phones.

A Samsung Phone Under £200/$200! | Galaxy A15 5G Unboxing
Source: Tech Spurt English
Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, a budget smartphone boasting a 50MP camera, mostly respectable specs and a price under £200. While the performance and gaming creds are a bit whiffy on the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, this affordable phone could be a worthy alternative if money is tight. That camera tech can capture some reasonably natural looking pics if you're working with decent lighting. In lower and softer light sadly you'll get noisy pics, while there's no 4K video option. Likewise, the Dimensity chipset with just 4GB RAM isn't good enough. The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G stumbles when using some camera modes, struggles with many apps and can only manage some light gaming. Still, on the positive side, the Samsung A15 5G offers some features you won't find on the Galaxy S24. Memory card support and a headphone jack are two examples. Plus you've got excellent battery life and a proper decent AMOLED screen. Oh, but only a mono speaker. And none of that AI shenanigans.

Samsung Galaxy A15 5G Review: Budget Price, Premium Features?
Source: Tech X Reviews English
In the market of budget smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G emerges as a notable contender, especially when it comes to the delicate balance between price and features. Priced at approximately $175, the A15 finds itself comfortably nestled in the affordable range of Samsung’s diverse smartphone lineup. But what does this mean for those looking to get the most bang for their buck? At first glance, the A15’s pricing strategy might raise a few eyebrows, especially when placed side-by-side with budget champions like Xiaomi and Realme. These brands have carved a niche in offering high-spec devices at cut-throat prices, setting a high bar in the value-for-money segment. Samsung’s slightly higher price point could be seen as a drawback in this fiercely competitive market. However, it’s imperative to delve deeper into what the A15 5G brings to the table at this price. The Galaxy A15 5G doesn’t shy away from packing a punch with its impressive specs.

6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

77.29%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
