Anonymous, 08 Jul 2026What is the deal then if this is not any remarkably better than previous A26 or even A25? Punch hole selfie camera, thinner screen Bezel, new chipset, UFS 3.1 storage, LPDDR 5X RAM, thinner body frame and 6 times major OS updates. If I can add one more, it would be Samsung UI.

They know their design can last for long enough time until competitors mostly from China tries to change design every several times in a year to attract more consumers hence gaining more sales.

And how old is the device? The problem with second hand devices is always unpredictable. I just can recommend people to buy 1 to 3 years of previous usage second hand devices. Yet the price is still high. To buy older than that is risky but price is surely low. I hope I am wrong.
unxpctd, 08 Jul 2026It's the J series all over againpretty funny, considering the revamped A-series was launched in 2019 in order to clean up the lineup.
We got to the point where there were like 4 different J4 variations models at some point, along with J7 regional variants. And still, a lot of those J-series models were better and offered more bang-for-buck than pretty much half of the A-series releases since 2021.
But until they get rid of TM Roh at Samsung, things will continue to decline more and more. I even wonder what's the design team at Samsung Mobile doing nowadays, since aside from changing the decoration of camera rings, not much has happened there in years. Last big re-design was the Note 20 Ultra, and that one took inspiration from the S series of the time.
I mention it, because even Apple has at least started to move away into new designs (after being stuck in the same one for 5 generations). Motorola, as well, has done the same. Asus did it until leaving the market, and so on.

They are also still guidance for other makers to set the price for their phones. It will be a disaster for them to just release a price without proper calculation in the middle of current high competition. One of strategy in term of price is to make room for promotion or discount which is now common that widely used by other phone makers.
Mr. Anonymous, 08 Jul 2026It's eMMC ๐The phone has 6GB LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. Sammobile source.
Problem with these small sensors isn't the size, is that these ISOCELL sensors are very noise, which forces strong denoise ruining everything.
T0MI, 07 Jul 2026The A2x series has always been that awkward middle ground, where it is not a budget phone like... moreThose devices between A0x and A5x are always make selection more difficult. The A2x is the most. So I agree. But Samsung doesn't want to let them empty. So they tried to fill it with those models to suit consumers financial power. Can we say they already successfully went with that way? Perhaps it does not 100 % work. But by looking at what they did it with the same formula for more than let say 7 years, I can say it in fact works.
3.5 stars for this phone is overly generous.
"And while we have no doubt that Samsung is constantly trying to deliver the best possible value with these models, it's not always a straightforward affair."
Pffff... good joke... They just flood market with useless devices like that that are like last year, or two years old devices just with higher price tag.
And of course lets not forget that they have balls to say that there is memory shortage(that pretty much created to boost prices) and they cant make proper good devices that people want...
so its basically a pointless model "upgrade"l this year?
there is no way this anemic chip survives 6 OS updates
Anyone who buys better hope they don't have issues as Samsung customer service is non existent
Looks like they should've skipped this model entirely this year and released it next year together with A38

Deanie, 07 Jul 2026Samsung continues to lose the plot, globally, and with almost the entire product range. Who on... moreRegular people, not enthusiasts. Galaxy A06 4G and A16 5G were 2 of the best selling phones in the world last year. A56, A36, A17 and A07 are all some of the best selling phones in the world in Q1 of this year. Seems like everyone's buying them.
as i always say never ever buy new phones which are crap. be smart and chrck in olx or other sites. buy second hand flagship or midranger which is million times better than this over priced craps.
dont be a fool to buy such phones with utter flop specs. buy used flagship and enjoy flagship performance.
