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.
The Ulefone Armor 21 is a powerhouse of a phone that exceeds expectations in every department. Its rugged design, wrapped in rubber and reinforced with metal, makes it an ideal choice for those who engage in outdoor activities or work in harsh environments.

The camera setup includes a 64MP primary sensor and a 24MP night vision camera, producing great image quality, especially in well-lit conditions. The Armor 21's performance is powered by the Helio G99 processor, which delivers an average score of 360,000 points on benchmark tests. While gaming performance may not be top-notch, it still allows for smooth gameplay with lower graphics settings. The phone's battery life is also impressive, with a large capacity of 9,600mAh. In addition to its impressive specs, the Armor 21 comes with a range of accessories, including a hard PC case, a desk charging dock, and two specialized lenses for microscopy and endoscopy. These features make it an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need a phone that can double as a repair tool in various situations.
