PureOS, 14 Feb 2025Japanese market is rly monotone. iPhone, iPhone, iPhone....... moreI wont let ignorants like you slander the only market that's actually not flooded with rebadged Chinese crap that all use the same 6.7 inch screens and 5000 mah batteries because they dont know the word efficiency if not used to push ads and harvest data off from your own launcher.

Sharp Aquos R2 Compact, Sharp Aquos R8/R8 Pro & Sharp Aquos R9/R9 Pro say hello.
Same goes for the Aquos Sense8/Sense9.
And let us not forget about the Xperia Ace. And Fujifilm devices, along with Kyocera. Even Samsung has produced special devices with different specs and design for Japan.

This Samsung A25 5G looks like a "downgrade" but this model is actually supposed to be cheap and affordable, for kids and people who need the basics. It will probably be free with most plans. The Sharp model that competes with it would be the Wish4.

    Would be nice if they resurrect A4 series and have it back in it's roots with 5.9inch screen or at least with 6.1 inch screen like A41

    They stop making it cause it lost it's point when with A42 were already as big as rest of the A series.

    Or just make it to be A2x series as the A3 and A5 series are more expensive with same performance chip in them

      DarlingYext, 14 Feb 2025More expensive yes, but does it have to be worse as well?Japanese market is rly monotone. iPhone, iPhone, iPhone.... This kind of devices are rly rare there.

        PureOS, 14 Feb 2025Everything is more 🫰 in Japan. More expensive yes, but does it have to be worse as well?

            I'm Japanese and understand why Samsung decided to sell such a low-end device in this country.
            They didn't sell the original A25 in Japan probably because wireless carriers thought its $300 (¥45,000) price was not competitive and were unwilling to sell it. As most Japanese consumers purchase smartphones through carriers, Samsung tends to comply with their preferences.
            This time, Samsung has produced an affordable device for the Japanese market, priced at around ¥22,000, likely due to demands from carriers. These carriers can offer consumers discounts of up to ¥22000 as part of their wireless deals. A25 for Japanese carriers costs ¥22001, enabling them to sell it for as low as ¥1.

              Dear Samsung, I would immediately buy a Galaxy A46 with a 6 or 6.1 inch screen and an SD 7s Gen 2 processor for around 300 euros. Please do so. It may even make do with two cameras, I don't care.

                Everything is more 🫰 in Japan.

                  AnonD-1181071, 14 Feb 2025So basically just a worsened A06 5G then? Im quite confused... moreSamsung is never big in Japan. This is just one of those $10 per month phone with 1 yr contract. Of course, since it's a Japanese market, even this phone owuld have IP68.

                    calling Galaxy A25 5G as "resurrect" sounds pointless

                    This is just rebadged A06 5G with minor difference for Japan exclusive.

                      GAMIR3DH, 14 Feb 2025The screen clearly looks like OneUI 7. But you had to keep... moreIf so, Samsung should be proud of Android 15 on this new entry level phone, instead they chose to say it's running "Android", without saying any version. Why?

                        But you had to keep bashing Samsung 😆

                            So basically just a worsened A06 5G then? Im quite confused. Either they intentionally didnt release the A25 to Japan and made a special one for there (if there wasnt the A25 in Japan) or just wanted to make more profit (if there was the A25 in Japan). Either way, this is just a rebadged A06 5G.

                              DarlingYext, 14 Feb 2025They didn't resurrect anything, just rebranded the bra... moreNo, they downgraded the front cam, so it's even worse. Seems like a inventory ringer.

                                DarlingYext, 14 Feb 2025They didn't resurrect anything, just rebranded the bra... moreScamsung

                                  They didn't resurrect anything, just rebranded the brand new A06 5G to have the same name as the already existing A25 from 2023, and I guess upgraded the IP rating. They are so stuck in the past it's incredible. Another scam by Samsung, good job keep it up.

                                  No mention of the Android version, and even the Japanese Samsung website just says that the OS is Android, so I'm guessing it's Android 14.

                                    Literally why does this even exist? Such a bad value for money and such a confusing name scheme.
