Sadly, most opinions here give ZERO information on the device itself.

Battery lasts. For Outlook, Teams, Office 365 and no gaming - I'd guess this one is meant to be the bottom tier for the business. (Keeping the headphones jack is a good selling point for the business)

I've tried no games on this one.

Screen is great, size and ratio are OK, colors are superb, text is quite sharp. Good for reading e-mails.

Fits well in the hand, thin enough (with the 2$ case and screen protector) to feel comfy in my jeans pocket.

Camera(s) ... I really don't care (given the use case). There's a front one, which shows me OK on meetings, and some three ones on the back, that I really don't know what they do. (Could do it fine with only one of better quality)

Pictures are fine, low light ones are crap.

Bit this phone drops calls like no other. On a highway, I'm getting very poor audio (sometimes I can't hear half of what the other side says), calls drop all the time, and ... occasionally I get calls dropping in the center of the city. I've ended up disabling the 5G hoping for an improvement. (It still drops calls).

I've been driving on this road with different devices and I know that coverage is fine for ANY other device I've used.

All Exynos bottom to midrange chipsets overheat under moderate to heavy load - this one makes no difference.

I'd honestly say - if you want a budget Samsung go for A15 5G, cause of the MediaTek chipset and give it a try. I don't know if any patch will bring improvement in future for the A25, but at the moment of this post - it fails miserably in the most important thing - being a phone.

I did get a security update dated 1 April 2024, the day after you posted this which is better. I'm now waiting for the One UI 6.1 update.
          I don't have the complaints some other people on here have about this phone, apart from some glitches when changing a web page or opening an app I've not really had any problems with it, no freezing and the battery life isn't a concern for me

                    I started using SA25 phone 3 days ago and I must confess that I am not impressed at all, it has no call recording, I even tried downloading it ,but it didn't work on the phone, I wonder why such an expensive phone would not have call recording, while my infinix phone that i bought since year 2020 at a low price has call recording, Also the phone hangs when i am typing, its so slow and frustrating when i am typing, I think the phone is over hyped ,my infinix phone that I bought since year 2020 is still smarter and faster than this A25. I wish I can return it honestly,cos I am tired of the phone , I am not happy about it all. Call recording is a simple and basic function that even the lowest and cheapest phone should have and the almighty Samsung didn't come with the function, its actually my first time using Samsung and i am not impressed at all, i cant type fast, even the battery drains quickly .

                            A25 is rubbish because of the battery, it doesn't last one day .

                              I got a software update on this phone today in the UK The security patch level is 1st February, not 1st March. It seems like Samsung only want their premium phones to have the most up to date security patches.

                                  I'm located in the USA. Here's my simple review:

                                  I bought this for 79.99 brand new through the safelink website. It was 87 bucks with shipping and taxes. What a steal!, I thought it was too good to be true until it showed up.
                                  The phone is very quick and zippy. Opens up a the apps you want without any lag.

                                  Where this phone really shines is the super ambled display and 1000 nits of brightness. The colors pop amazingly. Way better than the A14 or similar phones from a year ago.
                                  The camera is very good and it takes great videos.
                                  I have had no problems at all and it even has a headphone jack. The fingerprint sensor on the side is perfect and is very responsive.

                                  This phone is comparable to the galaxy a53 5g. Same cbipset,mostly same features. It's just a great phone all around.
                                  I'm extremely happy with my purchase. For the price I paid you cannot find a better deal on the market anywhere. The 5g is very responsive and the calls sound excellent. Also the Dolby atmosphere speakers are very sharp.
                                  To me...I can't see how peoples spend over a thousand dollars on the galaxy S23 and s24 when this phone can do 90 percent of what those phones do.
                                  I recommend this phone to anyone!
