      what's missing?
      obviously the NFC.. in this price range it should already be standard with all brands.
      if author would have tried mobile payments, he'd know no future phone can be without it anymore.

        Mark_S, 25 Jun 2019I have the A20 other than the processor, same phoneHow do you find the display on the A20? Can you make out the pixels? Thanks

          Roberttt, 26 Jun 2019Guys can you help me out a little? What should I get, A30 ... moreDepends on yiur needs, if you want a large screen phone with a large battery then go for the a30, if you want a compact phone go for the a40. I have the a40 and the size is perfect, no bigger then my old s6 with a larger screen. Performance should be better on the a40 I think, maybe wrong. Pretty sure 7885 is better then the 7904. Battery life is good on the a40 but not as good as the a30

                  Panda eyes, 25 Jun 2019I find citymap app more accurate then gogole maps Thanks for the sharing.

                  I also found that the SAMSUNG Internet browser is better than Chrome.

                    Anonymous, 25 Jun 2019Yes it has problem with gpsHave you tried other GPS apps?

                    In my opinion, Google Maps (and other Google apps like Chrome) are not better than others.

                          Sandy, 25 Jun 2019I bought A30 2 months ago. Was happy until i went on holida... moreI think Samsung's new A series has some problem regarding GPS navigation. 2months ago i went Europe with my brand new A50 & old Lenovo K4 note. Offline maps installed in both of them (Google map & maps.me). None of those devices had any active sim card. During slight cloudy sky or inside bus/taxi my A50 often failed to locate my current position, but years old Lenovo K4 note performed perfectly at the same moment. But when i returned my home & put an active sim, the A50 works perfectly!!! I tesed several times & every time found the same result. Without active sim A50's navigation performance is very poor. on the other hand my wife's S7 edge perform same as my Lenovo K4 note without active sim/offline. May be the new A series heavily depends on assisted gps data (from mobile operator) rather than direct gps data. Thats why its offline navigation is so poor.

                                        The camera lacks good lvl of details and in order to make pics clear it tends to over sharpen every single thing. The speaker is very low in quality and stretches it too much resulting distorted sound. One UI isnt that optimized, more can be achieved.
