The "smart" charging feature stinks!! The battery drains fast, and the aspect ratio is oversized and clunky. I should have bought the other option, which is not an iPhone. The finger print censor is in a horrible spot, it constantly gets in the way when you take the phone out of pocket.

When I got it I expected what I always get from a $200 phone( tend to get a new one every 3 years or so for different reasons last one was A20) and usually get one in this price range. I don't expect a fancy camera or being able to play games that need lots of good specs, just wanted a decent phone to run my normal web apps and streaming my shows from the streaming apps. But this piece of s**t can't even do that. Literally I can't switch between apps, to lets say confirm a email code or something without the other app crashing and having to restart. Tried useing their "ram Plus" feature thinking that would help but its useless. Honestly if this was in the $100 range it would be acceptable but to price it at $200 is a joke. I've had cheaper phones do more and will be switching sooner than expected to something better.
- Long Battery
- Decent Camera
- Terrible Performance
- not usable for multitasking
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G might not be what you think, but the price itself is what made it unique. If I were completely honest about the A15, the pricing for this low end smartphone made by Samsung is excellent that captures a solid user experience for those can enjoy on a tighter budget. The real winner of this phone has to be the battery life and the multimedia features that comes with it but not everything in this phone is perfect. The camera performance varies, the performance powered by Mediatek is alright, and the speakers on this phone is not great. For some reason, this phone delivers a pretty good experience under $200. Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is a pretty good phone if you are willing to spend very little and save more. Highly recommend for those on a very tight budget if you're looking for a very decent overall experience out of this smartphone made by Samsung.
