Samsung Galaxy A04s review
Ғылым және технология

Check out our video review to learn ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the phone's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

I turned on developer settings, toggled *Disable HW Overlays* and *Use 4x Msa*, and now the phone performs better than ever. Instagram, KZread and web scrolling has become ultra smooth with no jitters or stuttering.

@@alaska-violet-fan Glad to know that. I also recommend you to turn off your RAM plus because that also slows down your phone. Remember that when you restart your phone, you'll have to toggle *Disable HW Overlays* and *4x MSAA* again because they will return to their original setting. Also, I recommend you to change your animation speed to 1.5x in the developer settings. It will make the transition to different apps and animations smoother.

A 90hz screen on a phone at this price is actually a real game changer, this sets the bar for high refresh rates being an expected feature on almost any phone now.

I got this phone for free though a phone plan. I used for about 2 days to test it but couldn’t handle having to many apps on it. I have it to my daughter who just watches KZread and it’s great for that. Battery lasts about 3-4days
How is the camera? Is make good night photos?
What are the better options for the price ?
My man getting jacked up in every video
Does it have NFC system to scan passport or to add card payments?thanks
Can you lock/unlock manual focus on the camera(video)? Thanks in advance!
Does it over heat like the a54 even when not charging and the brightness is turned half way?
will it get 4 years of sw updates?
So it's a rebranded Galaxy a13 4G variant.
I know it's not related... but are there already rumors of the features that the galaxy a05 would have?
Would you say that this is better than the A03? I need a budget phone for Tiktok and making short selfie video's only. Nothing else besides email will be on it. What do you think (I've subbed mate).
Camera performed better than what I was expecting.

Planning to get this as my work phone. I dont want to use both my flagship phones (iPhone 15 pro max and S24 regular) for simple work stuff.
What features are missing in these Samsung phones that are available is stock Android? I heard that Samsung phones don't support multiple users. Can you multitask, run multiple apps at once on these phones? Is there a desktop mode? Can you sideload apps? Can third party app stores install updates automatically? Can you run VPNs, Netguard? Terminal emulators? Can you unlock, root the phone, install custom ROMs? Can you truly randomize your MACs? Are there any preinstalled spyware you can't remove, apart from Google's stuff? Did Samsung fix the vulnerability of their hacked singing key from a few months back? Can malicious apps gain elevated privileges with this key when sideloading them with Google Play Protect (spyware) turned off? Do they have other critical vulnerabilities?
does it have input lag like A03s ? as tou emntino slows and sttering at menus.
Any reviews on the A04e model
Does the front camera come with flashlight?
I Love lt From Africa Kenya It's The Best Phone Ever📱🤩😍....
Samsung should make another s9. Put a modern chip on it. They can even lower the res to 720p. Im fine with that.
Is there a smary view & smartthings app built in w/ this phone?
The 90HZ actually give you a beautiful display and cover for the 270 ppi
Quiet impressed by the entry-level smartphone designed by Samsung and MediaTek with a good battery backup of 5000mAh.

Samsung might as well just sell the rest of the A series phones alone and let their customers buy the charging brick, cable, manual, warranty card, and its boxes separately. Samsung ONLY cares about making money, so why not go all out.
