Samsung Galaxy A15 5G

The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is an entry-level mid-ranger that boasts a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. This upgrade from LCD to AMOLED provides better contrast, making it a welcome change. However, the display itself is solid but basic, lacking features like HDR video support. The phone's design is typical Samsung, with a plastic back and frame that curves around the power and volume keys. While not particularly impressive, it gets the job done. The battery life is excellent, with an active use score of 14 hours and 31 minutes in our tests. Charging is also fast, with support for 25W wired charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, 5MP ultra-wide camera, and 2MP macro camera. While daytime photos from the main camera are good, nighttime shots are poor without the dedicated night mode. The ultra-wide camera produces poor photos during the day, while the macro camera captures mediocre images. Selfies are solid, with detailed and noise-free shots. Performance-wise, the phone's Mediatech Density 6100+ chipset is decent for everyday tasks but lags behind when it comes to gaming. Battery life is excellent, but we noticed some lag or stuttering, even though the chipsets on both the 5G and 4G models are supposed to be identical. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is a solid choice for those who need 5G connectivity at an affordable price. However, the 4G model feels faster and more responsive, and it's also cheaper. If you don't need 5G, it's worth considering the 4G variant instead.
