Worst ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst phone ever. Broke within a day, not my fault. It froze, but they wouldnt return it cause I was 1 day past the limit. I was having surgery the day before.

Proof you don't need an expensive phone
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not a "rewarded review" and don't need to exaggerate. For reference, my main phone now is a Pixel 6a but I'm really considering using this Samsung A15 5g as my new main phone. I won't lie, there's two things that hold this phone back from being a 5 star review. Those things are this only has one bottom single firing speaker and the RAM is less than I'd prefer. I got a black Friday deal on this phone and have only used it for two days, but overall performance has been fantastic! Benchmark numbers for the Pixel 6a and my previous iPhone 13 were both higher but this A15 holds right up against them. Whether I'm doing basics,gaming(light games are all I play), listening to music,or making/receiving phone calls, this phone handles it all with relative ease. And rather fast too. Many reviews here and elsewhere had me anxious about whether this phone could perform without serious lagging. To my pleasant surprise, it keeps up with anything you want to do and aside from during setup, there hasn't been any real lags or slow down. It won't perform like a $1,000 phone which is common sense but it will do everything an expensive phone does maybe just not as fast. If this phone had dual speakers and just a tad more RAM, it'd be perfect. On the RAM, use the device care cleaner and delete individual apps' cache often. That'll ensure your phone runs like a champ like mine does. Also, restarting your phone once a day or every few days will free up RAM to optimize it too. I use device care many times per day to release any memory that can be freed up. I'm surprised Android users don't already know these tips in 2024 but it'll make a huge performance difference. Unless you're a high end phone snob or too lazy to do my tips, this phone is surprisingly great.

crap
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the phone is ok but it will not charge at all i have tried 4 diffrent cords and it will not charge and i only had it for a month

For the price it's tough to beat.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good phone for average needs. Decent cameras, decent speed, decent sound. I wish it had stereo speakers to go with the very nice screen. I also wish the phone had an FM radio (a lot of lower end phones have that but not this one). I do like that it has a microSD slot and 3.5mm jack though. The phone can lag a bit with some apps, so keep that in mind. All in all, it's a great phone if you're a light user. Or if you need a decent phone for your kids or teens. Or if your parents or grandparents need a new phone. Just keep in mind this phone is $200 brand new. It's not going to be the top of the line. Battery life is great!

Great price goot phone!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This phone has done great.. for 200 dollars .. it's actually very good. Don't expect super quality camera feats... Battery life is surprisingly good. It's fast. One thing: before you use it... Clear out all the extra apps (blotware) that you aren't definitely going too use.. my purpose for this phone meant that everything had to go. Except for calls text maps email internet. Everything else was up for removal . That's why my phone is fast and highly responsive considering the price of this phone.

Good bang for the buck.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Way better than what I expected coming from a more expensive Android phone to a $200 phone. Only a few differences and functionality going to a cheaper phone. Battery seems to last quite a while for what I use it for. I cook a lot on Sunday, breakfast for the kids, I get lunch started at the same time and I also cook for my meals for the upcoming week all at the same time. It takes a couple hours and I usually have something like Netflix or something playing while I'm doing that. The battery held up through all of that and I still didn't have to plug it in until the end of the day. And that being said, it was still at 47% when I plugged it in. I didn't give it five stars for two reasons. First reason was when I tried to transfer all of my data to this phone, it wouldn't accept it no matter what I did or what I used to do so. I tried using the transfer cable that came with it and it wouldn't accept it, I tried to do it wirelessly, but it still would not connect and transfer anything. So everything that I had like games or apps that had data or whatever on them it would not transfer. I had to redo all of my apps. Number two, it seems to charge slowly... But as long as the battery holds up that's not a big deal

Fantastic!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was incredibly nervous about getting a samsung A series given how cheap they are. Turns out the A15 is ridiculously good for the price. Huge bang for the buck and I hope it keeps working! I would dock half a point for the lack of a 4K camera but I also knew that going in. I wish others would cut the BS and give more honest ratings.

Posted .Hi there foru, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us about your Samsung Galaxy A15. We understand needing certain functionality and would be happy to help troubleshoot your device. Without knowing what carrier you are using with your device, if supported by your carrier you can use three way calling by doing the following, from the active call, tap Add call to dial the second call. Dial the new number and tap Call. When the call is answered: Tap Swap or the On hold number to switch between the two calls. Tap Merge to hear both callers at once (multi-conferencing). If you haven't done so already, the best way to see if zoom is available with your device would be to check the Google Play Store to see about downloading the app. If this option does not appear, we recommend reaching out directly to the software manufacturer to see what options may be available to resolve this. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

2G Security Issue
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Android 14 operating system installed by Samsung on the unlocked Galaxy A15 5G with 128GB does not provide the option to disable 2G connections. Without this feature it has been reported criminals can use a transmitter between your phone and a carrier’s tower to compromise your cellular connection. Samsung Customer Service confirmed the feature typically located in System —> Connections —> Mobile Networks was absent from this phone and could not provide a security patch at this time. Hopefully Samsung will make an O/S security update available soon and add a comment to this review thereafter. Otherwise, I like the phone and would have given it a five star review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Cheap, and it shows
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I get it, this phone is cheap. But it's awful. The phone is so so slow. It's slow to turn the screen on, to unlock, to open apps, to switch between apps, to do everything takes a lot of time. The camera is also pretty terrible. I had to buy this phone since my existing one broke, so as a back up, need today, phone, it does the job. But if you care at all about the quality of your experience, don't buy this phone.

Good product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phone was good to use and the screen was smooth to touch
I would recommend this to a friendDisappointed in camera. Otherwise, good.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good basic phone. Camera quality has gone down. Replaced my A12, which had a superb camera, so I'm pretty disappointed. The A15 camera shoots with slower shutter speed, so it often gives me blurry results. It also uses a very strong sharpening filter which puts bright halos around high-contrast dark parts of the image (such as black text on documents). So, I'm disappointed.
