### Introduction
These are all the A series fromĀ Samsung for 2024. The question is,Ā Ā
āWhich of these smartphones is truly worth myĀ attention?ā Well, you might be surprised by theĀ Ā
answer I'm going to give you here. Out of this entire lineup, there areĀ only two devices that stand outāand I'll be revealingĀ Ā
those gems by the end of this video. Before then,Ā lemme give you summary of all these devicesĀ Ā
and who they fit, as so without taking muchĀ of your time, #yoohguys! Letās get started.
### A05
Letās start with the Galaxy A05. This phone is very basicĀ and doesnāt offer much beyond the essentials andĀ Ā
when I say that, I mean essentials in termsĀ of the features. If we talk about accessories,Ā Ā
non of these devices come out of their boxesĀ with chargers or extra accessories except for
the USB cable, SIM ejectors, and user guide.Ā Priced at around $110 or N128,500, the Galaxy A05Ā Ā
is a new budget-friendly addition to the Samsung AĀ series, offering decent specifications with 4GBĀ Ā
of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. One big downside isĀ that it doesnāt even have a fingerprint scanner,Ā Ā
which is something most users expect nowadaysĀ for security. Performance isnāt something IādĀ Ā
compared to other devices here, I mean, itās theĀ helio G85 from MediaTek, pretty basic performanceĀ Ā
for todayās needs. When you come over to the dual Ā camera setup, there is a primary 50MP lens and aĀ Ā
2MP depth sensor. The rear camera performs okayĀ in good lighting, while the front 8MP cameraĀ Ā
which is 12MP delivers lesser quality. Still with the camera here,Ā the maximum resolution is 1080 at 60fps from theĀ Ā
rear camera. Display is quite large at 6.7ā, theĀ largest from the lineup, but an LCD maxed out atĀ Ā
60Hz refresh rate. Given its limited capabilities,Ā the A05 might only be suitable if youāre lookingĀ Ā
for a very simple device, perhaps for a youngĀ child who is using a phone for the first time.Ā Ā
If you need a phone that can handle more dailyĀ tasks seamlessly, while enjoying what it feelsĀ Ā
to own a modern smartphone, this probably isnātĀ the best choice. Maybe skip to the next device, the Galaxy A05S.
### A05S
Yes, thereās the A05S, which is a slightĀ step up from the A05. It adds a fingerprintĀ Ā
scanner and has a better display, but areĀ these upgrades enough to recommend this device,Ā Ā
especially since the A15 is also available.Ā Iād touch on that in a bit. With $30 more,Ā Ā
that is for $140 or N183,500, you get an upgradeĀ from the A05 to this device. Good thing here is,Ā Ā
it is powered by a snapdragon 680 processor whichĀ makes it a better performer than the A05, it comesĀ Ā
in various memory configurations, with the reviewĀ unit I have being 4GB RAM and 128GB storage.Ā Ā
Just like the A05, this one is also a 6.7ā panel,Ā but this time, with a higher 90Hz refresh rate,Ā Ā
making scrolls, gameplays and animations feel aĀ little smoother. Still LCD BTW. It offers betterĀ Ā
performance and additional features that makeĀ it a more versatile and practical choice forĀ Ā
everyday use. The camera on this device is aĀ triple camera setup with a 50MP main sensor,Ā Ā
and a 13MP from the 8MP n the A05, performanceĀ is good in well-lit conditions. In fact,Ā Ā
the difference is slightly more colorfulĀ photos, better stabilization with theĀ Ā
video recording at a maximum of 1080p andĀ thatās about it for the camera difference.
So, hereās how I see this device. If your goalĀ is to give a simple phone to a child or maybeĀ Ā
an elderly person, you might still considerĀ the A05 to save money or put the extra cashĀ Ā
towards buying them a Samsung charger to utilizeĀ the 25W charging speed for this device. BTW,Ā Ā
all the devices on this list have support forĀ just 25W charging speeds, and they all run aĀ Ā
5000mAH battery capacity. However, for most otherĀ people who want something that really does feelĀ Ā
like an upgrade from the A05, Iād suggest youĀ also skip this one for the A15, except you areĀ Ā
really on a tight budget. The A15 might just beĀ the best value for money around the price range.
### A15
The A15 actually does shine as the star amongĀ budget smartphones. It features a Helio G99Ā Ā
processor and a major upgrade to the display.Ā For $200 or N255,500, the A15 provides all theĀ Ā
essential features most users need without theĀ extra cost of high-end models, and I donāt thinkĀ Ā
there really is a strong reason to chooseĀ a lesser model if you can afford the A15.
Talking about the upgrade to the display, whileĀ you get a slightly smaller 6.5ā panel, this timeĀ Ā
it is a super AMOLED panel, that still retainsĀ a 90Hz refresh rate. Blacks are really black andĀ Ā
that means a high contrast ratio. You are lookingĀ at 800 nits of brightness, which is plenty goodĀ Ā
and better for outdoor under the sun use thanĀ the first 2. This has memory configurationsĀ Ā
ranging from 4GB/128GB to 8GB/256GB, soĀ really smooth user-friendly experience.
When it comes to the camera thereās anĀ improvement, aside the same 50MP main lens,Ā Ā
you have the introduction to a 5MP ultra-wideĀ lens. I can tell you for sure that the cameraĀ Ā
on this device does pretty well for price, andĀ when compared to the A05s, it is definitelyĀ Ā
an upgrade in terms of the picture quality.Ā The front facing 13MP sensor maintains aboutĀ Ā
the same quality that matches the rear, butĀ nothing really far from the A05s though. VideoĀ Ā
recording caps at 1080p atĀ 30fps with stabilization.
Just like other devices from here onwards, youĀ get Android 14, and a support for 4 years of OSĀ Ā
updates into the future. If thereāsĀ one thing to say about this device,Ā Ā
that would be that It strikes a perfect balanceĀ between affordability and functionality,Ā Ā
making it an excellent choice for the majorityĀ of users. I have no doubt that this could be theĀ Ā
best-selling smartphone for 2024. JustĀ a recap, this It has a better display,Ā Ā
better performer with the Helio G99 chipset, whichĀ is a really good chip. Camera has improved, designĀ Ā
is a little refreshed, from the first two, andĀ maintains a consistent look with the 25 upwards.
Iād still let you know my favoriteĀ devices by the end of the video,Ā Ā
but before I go into the next device, andĀ since weāre halfway, why not take out a fewĀ Ā
seconds to subscribe to the channel, and typeĀ āYoohguys!ā in the comment so I know youāreĀ Ā
paying attention. Iād love to see how many of youĀ will spell that correctly. You done? Thank you.
### A25
Moving up to the A25, things get a bit moreĀ complicated. While the A25 is definitely betterĀ Ā
than the A15, featuring things like a fasterĀ screen refresh rate, from 90Hz to 120Hz on theĀ Ā
same 6.5ā super AMOLED panel, Okay, a 1000 nits ofĀ brightness, which is the same as teh A35 and A55,Ā Ā
and access to 5G, it also costs aboutĀ $80 more, bringing the price to $260Ā Ā
or N355,500. This might be hard to justify,Ā particularly because many places still donātĀ Ā
have 5G coverage and honestly, a lot of peopleĀ canāt tell the difference between 90Hz and 120Hz.
Those are definitely not the onlyĀ improvements to the A25 if Iām being honest,Ā Ā
you get a faster processor, the Exynos 1280,Ā and that even translates to improvements inĀ Ā
the camera system. While maintaining theĀ same 50MP sensor for the rear camera,Ā Ā
you get the same 13MP for the front likeĀ the A15. I can tell you that the photosĀ Ā
from this device, when compared to theĀ A15 have better contrast and colors,Ā Ā
it also has better stabilization in terms of theĀ video, you can now record up to 4K for the camera.
Thereās no doubt this is the betterĀ device when compared to the A15,Ā Ā
but at what cost? I just feel that extraĀ $80 spend wouldnāt be worth it for a lot ofĀ Ā
people. If you have the means to, by allĀ means get it, but for a lot of persons,Ā Ā
itās not worth the spend. The A15Ā is just better value for money.
### A35
Then thereās the A35, which presents itself asĀ the best value for money within this range. ItĀ Ā
offers significant improvements over both theĀ A15 and A25, but without a very steep increaseĀ Ā
in price as far as value perceptionĀ for me. The main camera is still 50MP,Ā Ā
providing quality shots with way more naturalĀ processing. So, the performance is definitelyĀ Ā
an improvement from the A34, you can check out myĀ review on any of these devices on this channel,Ā Ā
I compared the A35 and A35, thereās aĀ better camera system, even when comparedĀ Ā
to the A25. Video capabilities include stable 4KĀ recording and the detail seemed to have improved,Ā Ā
better white balance and in general aĀ better performance and camera than the A25.
The display on here is now a 6.6ā superĀ AMOLED display with 1000 nits of brightnessĀ Ā
and 120Hz refresh rate. The more I look at theseĀ numbers, the closer I think this is to the A55.Ā Ā
For the camera side of things, 50MP mainĀ camera and a 13MP front facing sensor,Ā Ā
thereās also an 8MP rear camera. If beingĀ totally honest, the cameras are about theĀ Ā
same quality as what youād get on theĀ A55, youād barely tell a difference,Ā Ā
except for the better ultrawide in my opinion. InĀ fact, Iād say, if you are strongly considering theĀ Ā
A25 and do not wish to get the A15 as advisedĀ earlie, then you should get the A35 instead forĀ Ā
about $100 more. That is about $360 or N540,000.Ā Itās a way better investment than going for theĀ Ā
A25. Performance is way better with the ExynosĀ 1380 which was on the A54 from last year. YouĀ Ā
still get Android 14 with a promise of up toĀ Android 18 and five years of security patches.
I actually would particularly recommend thisĀ smartphone if youāre looking for a phoneĀ Ā
that performs well and has modern featuresĀ without breaking the bank from this lineup.
### A55
It actually felt like I should have ended theĀ video with A35, but we have the A55. ThereĀ Ā
isnāt much to say about this smartphone,Ā aside making 1 argument for it. First,Ā Ā
this is the best A series there is, yet. TheĀ top and best. If you want the best smartphoneĀ Ā
in the A series lineup Samsung has to offer,Ā go out and buy the A55 for $430, or N631,000,Ā Ā
for same 8GB/25GB memory configuration as the A35.Ā But I canāt say itās the best value for money.
With no charger in the box, just like others,Ā there isnāt a really huge difference betweenĀ Ā
the A35 and A55, excluding theĀ additional $70 increase in price,Ā Ā
you get a better processor, the all new ExynosĀ 1480 from Samsung, okay this does perform better,Ā Ā
but thatās about it. Displays are about theĀ same 6.6ā super AMOLED 1000 nits display,Ā Ā
they look identical with their 120Hz refresh rate,Ā the body design are the same, even the cameras,Ā Ā
which is now a 12MP ultrawide and a 32MP frontĀ facing camera, look really similar and you mightĀ Ā
not be able to tell the difference except forĀ the ultrawide shots. I kept going back and forthĀ Ā
with the photos and couldnāt tell them apart.Ā Sometimes, I even preferred the A35 photos.
For the extra money, I think you are basicallyĀ paying for the better performance and also,Ā Ā
I donāt think itās really worth thatĀ much in my opinion. Iād rather getĀ Ā
the A35 and save the money thanĀ the best Samsung has to offer.
### Verdict/Conclusion
In summary, for those looking to spendĀ wisely, the A15 offers all the necessaryĀ Ā
features at an affordable price, makingĀ it an ideal choice when in search forĀ Ā
the best budget device here. The A25 isĀ better enough, but I canāt justify thatĀ Ā
extra $100 for what it offers. So, theĀ A15 does it for me in terms of budget.
Now, if you can spend a bit more, the A35Ā provides excellent features for a bit more money,Ā Ā
of course about $160 from the A15, but trust me,Ā this represents the best value for an upgrade,Ā Ā
and over 90% identical to the A55 fromĀ this year, and even better than the bestĀ Ā
A series Samsung offered last year. And the A35Ā would be my 2nd recommendation here. The A55,Ā Ā
although excellent and the best, isĀ not the best value for your buck,Ā Ā
except you're not worried about theĀ cost and want the absolute best.
Things can change if there are discountedĀ offer, say a 30 difference in price betweenĀ Ā
the A25 and A15, then go for the A25 because itāsĀ better, also if you have such discounted offer andĀ Ā
difference between the A55 and A35, then theĀ A55 would for sure be the better of the two.
You might want to watch my reviewĀ on all of these devices on myĀ Ā
channel, and also before that, leave me yourĀ thoughts in the comments, Iād be reading. Cuidate!
