No Headphone Jack (even though budget-marketed)
No Proximity Sensor (only Samsung does this)
No Charger in box
No dedicated first party flip wallet cover case. (the phone/chipset can handle it)
Removed Software Features eg., Edge Panels
Retaining $200 Price Point

Yeah, just like with the A15 last year, I'm gonna skip upgrading(what upgrade?) this year. Samsung is really going downhill again recently.

    losing the 3.5mm headphone jack 😠 is the worst mistake Samsung could do in this entry-level because we will have have to buy more expensive Earbuds. add the no charger in the box & the budget is ruined😭.

      Anonymous, 22 Nov 2024U cant complain much about stuff like that at this price pointWhy you shouldn't expect more at this price point? have you checked the competition? so much better than this both in quality and also having a proper charger in the box.

        Why people are supporting the removal of the charger from the box?! vote with your wallets guys!, stop buying from companies that are disrespecting you and giving you less for your hard earned money.
        It's basically the same phone as last years too!
        I'm honestly baffled why would anyone get this instead of the insanely better competition.

                        There should be a law which stoped companies to release endless device .

                                  Just a rebranded A15, but now it's even more outdated, and with even more useless updates than that phone. Nothing to see here, just the usual nonsense from Samsung.
