    If ultra expensive smartphones can lag and frustrate people

    The opposite can happen on cheaper smartphones too

    Unisoc cheaper smartphones run smoothly but people don't highlight then as much

      Do a review on Galaxy F23 5G

        It looks and is named like a prototype generic phone

Even though they might not lag as much as some older budget phones (like my Galaxy Ace or 1 Gen Moto G) they still take forever for even mundane tasks. Paying 50€ more already gets you much better phones that actually stay decently fast for many years.

                  Yikes, the only thing decent here is the camera. Everything else is just awful. The 90 Hertz screen is pointless, a higher resolution would be better, but this way they can hide the weak chipset more, I bet it was a deliberate decision. This line of phones consistently gets some of the worst ratings of all phones nowadays, simply because Samsung are idiots, squeezing in too many advanced features instead of focusing on getting the basics right.

                    I think it's safe to say the Poco M4 and the A04s use the same speaker, haven't seen audio curves that similar between different company phones before not including sister companies rebadging the same product

                      dude1, 05 Nov 2022waiting for budget phone that isn't a 6.5 inch slab...Exactly! My old Motorola moto g was waterproof, decent battey, decent camera - and 150 euros. And decent size! About 144mm. Why is something like that impossible today? Yes, there's zenfone but its 800-900 euros.

                          funny things,
                          its predecessor (A03) has proximity/light sensor and Edge Panel, which the A04s doesn't.

                            dude1, 05 Nov 2022waiting for budget phone that isn't a 6.5 inch slab...Same, I'm kind of sad most of the cheap phones are huge now. They're all large and heavy. The only small cheap phones are very bottom of the barrel or not available in all countries. I remember when the cheap Androids used to have smaller screens than their mid-range and higher counterparts.

                              Sanid, 05 Nov 2022All these entry level phones are waste of money with so muc... moreI'm old ...but wise...just like a lot of old people...we don't all buy this garbage ... Most times it's the reckless young who waste their money...my advice...don't paint old people as dumb..we managed to live a lot longer then some because we are smart cookies ..

                                They could have used a full HD Amoled screen and provided a charger, protective case & wired headphones in the box. For that price I would recommend Nokia g21

                                  Typos, typos everywhere.

                                  And why do I feel that this review is rushed?

                                    There are cheap devices that run very smooth

                                    Specifically those on unisoc T series

                                    Even something like the Moto e22s

                                    Problem is tech sites are inexperienced with ultra cheap smartphones

                                    Their bias sways to mid range and flagship so they don't have proper reference as to what's excellent at these ranges

                                    They should go out their comfort zone and review some blackviews, cubot, oukitel etc

                                    Only then can they relatively understand what camera quality is expected at X price range etc

                                      M23 is only £40 more on Amazon. If you're owning a phone for 3 years or more it's a no brainer to save up for that, rather than this hopeless device.

                                        You'd have to really hate yourself to buy this phone. Redmi note 11 is better in every way and if you really want Samsung save up a few more months to afford something you won't hate. It's not even mediocre.
