SAMSUNG Galaxy A15 5G A Series Cell Phone, 128GB Unlocked Android Smartphone, AMOLED Display, Expandable Storage, Knox Security, Super Fast Charging, US Version, 2024, Blue Black

For my uses this phone is a great deal. I use it as a phone, for email, to text, to access the internet, for Zoom, to navigate, to take photos, and a bunch of lesser things like controlling my alarm system and thermometer, reading the Washington Post etc. What I don’t do is game and social media.
The most important things I want in a phone are that it does what I need, which it does, and that it be stable and robust – it’s a Samsung — nuf said.
I had been using a Samsung Galaxy J7 for the past five years but finally decided that it just didn’t have enough memory so I got the A15 which has about 4x more memory and seems perfectly adequate. Aside from inadequate memory, my old J7 worked perfectly and still does.
I see some complaints about the A15 being slow. It seems fine for my uses, but you’ve probably guessed by now that I’m not exactly a tech expert, power user type. I can tell you that videos and Zoom operate smoothly. It may not work very well for high demand functions like gaming, but I wouldn’t know.
I opted for the US version for $200 rather than the international version for $20 or $30 less because I didn’t want to mess around with any possible compatibility issues with my cell service provider. Speaking of cost: for my uses, why would I spend 4 to 6 times more for a high-end phone — really?
The battery seems fine. I let it charge at night but it so far has never gone below 80% during an average day’s use. The screen is large and sharp and the cameras seem to do a fine job. I could only wish that it was smaller and lighter and that it had cordless charging but for the price I’m not complaining.

FYI: The phone weighs 7.57 oz (0.47lbs) and the dimensions are 6 ¼” x 3”

Great phone for under $200, I use this for school at home, and in public, honestly, it’s got great performance, and new features being added. This is a great budget for those who want a phone that is working very well, has great performance for your needs, great battery life, and new updates to enhance the security and privacy of your phone.

I got this smartphone as an alternative to a.) Getting my iPhone 12 pro scrubbed.
b.) buying another iPhone.
To explain, I got hacked while using my iPhone and my bank wanted me to get it scrubbed in case there was some sort of malware on it. So rather than driving 40 minutes and paying $190 to get that done along with the paperwork certifying it was done, I just bought a brand new Samsung A-15 from Amazon. It performs well and satisfied my bank. Price is probably the .ain’t factor in my purchasing this phone. I think I owned a Galaxy S-21 before, and I like this A-15 better. It has no water resistance, one speaker, but it has decent cameras and is fast enough loading internet sites. It’s a tad big and heavy, but the + side is a larger screen. There is no inductive charging, but it uses a 25 watt charger that makes charging relatively fast. Also, the battery lasts a long time. I think it’s 5000 miliamps. I’ve had it last over 3 days, so that’s a plus. If you are an iOS user and have Apple Mail, that can be challenging, but once you set everything up, it’s no big deal.
