    An impeccable device. A fair proposal from Samsung. SUPER AMOLED Display, large Battery (5000), easily lasts the day, FM radio, good sound, and very good photos. Not to mention it's 5G. If you're thinking of getting it, don't hesitate. Especially now that you can find it used for around 200 euros, without a doubt.

    I have had it since April 2021 (different price than the one stated). It was and still is one of the best devices I have purchased and used. The photos and videos are very good. It performs well in calls or anything else I have asked it to do. The only thing that has disappointed me is that Samsung has messed up the battery in recent months, and every 12 (or sometimes more, depending on individual usage) I have to charge it. As a student, I constantly have to carry a charger or power bank in my school or tutoring bag. Anyway, the phone is very good. I recommend it

    I have it for almost 9 months, it's a good phone but its battery is garbage. Unacceptable for a company like Samsung in 2021 when even the iPhones fixed their battery two models ago. The microphone also broke within 6 months and it takes 7 days to replace. By far, get something else

    Excellent mobile! It's a bit expensive but it's a guarantee of Samsung Galaxy quality! It's fast, doesn't lag, has a great camera and a powerful battery, a very nice screen, very user-friendly, and overall its technical specifications are all very good.
    I've had the previous Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 for 6 years now. I've pushed it to its limits and it hasn't had any issues at all! I bought this one blindly a month ago and it's perfect so far. I hope it lasts as long as my previous one.

    It is a nice mobile phone that takes very good photos and videos. It is good for gaming, runs very smoothly, achieves high FPS, and has HDR graphics in games, making the gaming experience enjoyable. I want to mention that when watching YouTube, the quality is not that great (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). It supports up to 1080p resolution and up to 2060p in custom videos. However, 1080p looks like 720p and 720p looks like 480p, and so on. This is something I don't like because when I watch a live stream on YouTube, the quality is not as good. The only problem with this phone is the quality on YouTube, which you will understand once you get it. The sound is very clear and powerful. If you turn the sound to the maximum, it sounds perfect. It has good speakers

    Awesome beautiful screen don't let it affect you that it's 720p, it doesn't show at all, it's super AMOLED fantastic. Very fast with the Snapdragon, it flies. Camera is very good, clear and detailed photos from all 4 cameras. Battery never runs out. Get it with your eyes closed, it's worth it to the fullest

    The phone is good.
    I have the A50 with higher resolution and I would say that I, in terms of resolution, do not notice the difference.
    It seems logical to me to reduce the resolution for battery performance.
    Certainly, some people are more interested in the battery. In general, it is reliable, beautiful, and fast.
    As for the memory, so far I have no issues and I think it manages memory smartly. I had Chinese phones and there was an overheating issue, resulting in the screen turning black. I wasted many hours for service.
    I use my phone for about 700 to 900 hours a year and I pay a lot of attention to reliability.

    Unfortunately, the 4GB of memory is not sufficient. As soon as you fill it with applications, you will notice that it starts to lag. The screen resolution is also quite mediocre. It's a shame, it's definitely not worth 300+ euros

    In everything else, it is relatively good (photos) to very good (battery), but the screen resolution is only 720p (!!!) and it also has 4 GB of RAM, which is unacceptable considering its price.
    Furthermore, it takes a long time to charge as it supports only 15 watts, while the competition offers from 33 watts (Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite/Poco X3) to 65 watts in the Realme 7 Pro.
    Based on the above negatives, I cannot give it more than 1 star.

    I've had the previous Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 for 6 years now. I've pushed it to its limits and it hasn't had any issues at all! I bought this one blindly a month ago and it's perfect so far. I hope it lasts as long as my previous one.

Many mobile phones have a combination of cores with different performances (e.g. 4+4) for more efficient operation and less battery consumption.
RAM
4 GB

RAM: 4

RAM memory allows smartphones to have more applications open simultaneously, so they are immediately available to the user without long loading times. Modern smartphones have 4GB of RAM or more, while for simple feature phones, RAM memory is not as important.


4 GB of RAM is sufficient for basic use, social networks, and content watching.

Handling
Touch screen
Type
Super AMOLED

Type

The two main categories are IPS and AMOLED.

2. The basic differences are that AMOLED offers extremely deep blacks, vibrant colors, and high contrast, while IPS has higher brightness, viewing angles (the image doesn't distort much when viewed from the side), and more accurate colors.

Super AMOLED

Super AMOLED is the most modern type of screen, an evolution of AMOLED with a thinner construction, offering a brighter image, perfect black, less battery consumption, and better readability in outdoor spaces.

Camera

Rear Camera
Quad
Rear Camera Lenses
Macro 5MP, 5MP Depth Sensor, Wide Angle 48MP, Ultra Wide Angle 8MP

Rear Camera Lenses

Macro 5MP
The macro lens offers the ability to take photos of objects from a very close distance for emphasis on detail. The most common resolutions are 2MP and 5MP.
5MP Depth Sensor

The depth sensor operates in conjunction with the other lenses, assisting the camera to focus and create depth of field effects by blurring the background. 2. Some mobile phones incorporate this function into their other lenses. They are usually 2-5MP, but the resolution does not need to be taken into account.

Wide Angle 48MP

The wide-angle lens offers a larger field of view than our eyes and is usually the default lens used when opening the camera application. The most common resolution is 12MP.

Ultra Wide Angle 8MP

The ultra-wide lens offers a much wider angle of view than our eyes and is usually used for indoor shots to fit more people in a photo. 2. Ultra-wide lenses may distort the subject of the photo at the edges. The most common resolutions are 8MP and 12MP.
Rear Camera Video Resolution
4K 30fps

Rear Camera Video Resolution

"Fps describe the frames per second. 30 frames are the standard value for smooth video, with 60 gaining ground in recent years, offering even smoother image especially in action scenes such as sports. Higher fps values offer slow motion playback. The more fps, the slower the motion can be. 4K, 1080p, and 720p refer to the resolution at which the camera can record the corresponding fps. The lower the resolution, the more fps the camera can record. The user chooses which combination of resolution and slow motion suits their needs on a case-by-case basis."

    An impeccable device. A fair proposal from Samsung. SUPER AMOLED Display, large Battery (5000), easily lasts the day, FM radio, good sound, and very good photos. Not to mention it's 5G. If you're thinking of getting it, don't hesitate. Especially now that you can find it used for around 200 euros, without a doubt.

    I have had it since April 2021 (different price than the one stated). It was and still is one of the best devices I have purchased and used. The photos and videos are very good. It performs well in calls or anything else I have asked it to do. The only thing that has disappointed me is that Samsung has messed up the battery in recent months, and every 12 (or sometimes more, depending on individual usage) I have to charge it. As a student, I constantly have to carry a charger or power bank in my school or tutoring bag. Anyway, the phone is very good. I recommend it

    I have it for almost 9 months, it's a good phone but its battery is garbage. Unacceptable for a company like Samsung in 2021 when even the iPhones fixed their battery two models ago. The microphone also broke within 6 months and it takes 7 days to replace. By far, get something else

    It is a nice mobile phone that takes very good photos and videos. It is good for gaming, runs very smoothly, achieves high FPS, and has HDR graphics in games, making the gaming experience enjoyable. I want to mention that when watching YouTube, the quality is not that great (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). It supports up to 1080p resolution and up to 2060p in custom videos. However, 1080p looks like 720p and 720p looks like 480p, and so on. This is something I don't like because when I watch a live stream on YouTube, the quality is not as good. The only problem with this phone is the quality on YouTube, which you will understand once you get it. The sound is very clear and powerful. If you turn the sound to the maximum, it sounds perfect. It has good speakers

    Awesome beautiful screen don't let it affect you that it's 720p, it doesn't show at all, it's super AMOLED fantastic. Very fast with the Snapdragon, it flies. Camera is very good, clear and detailed photos from all 4 cameras. Battery never runs out. Get it with your eyes closed, it's worth it to the fullest

    The phone is good.
    I have the A50 with higher resolution and I would say that I, in terms of resolution, do not notice the difference.
    It seems logical to me to reduce the resolution for battery performance.
    Certainly, some people are more interested in the battery. In general, it is reliable, beautiful, and fast.
    As for the memory, so far I have no issues and I think it manages memory smartly. I had Chinese phones and there was an overheating issue, resulting in the screen turning black. I wasted many hours for service.
    I use my phone for about 700 to 900 hours a year and I pay a lot of attention to reliability.

    Unfortunately, the 4GB of memory is not sufficient. As soon as you fill it with applications, you will notice that it starts to lag. The screen resolution is also quite mediocre. It's a shame, it's definitely not worth 300+ euros

    In everything else, it is relatively good (photos) to very good (battery), but the screen resolution is only 720p (!!!) and it also has 4 GB of RAM, which is unacceptable considering its price.
    Furthermore, it takes a long time to charge as it supports only 15 watts, while the competition offers from 33 watts (Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite/Poco X3) to 65 watts in the Realme 7 Pro.
    Based on the above negatives, I cannot give it more than 1 star.
