Mills, 27 Jan 2024"No DeX or AOD." It's a ENTRY-LEVEL scree... moreIt has an OLED, therefore having no AOD as a con is totally valid. That has been a thing for ages now and the lack of an AOD is definitely disappointing.

      The HUGE colour/luminance blotches in the sky in night photos are BIG NOISE as well. It's very disappointing to read that the photos have "low noise". I sincerely trusted you to do way better than that. Really :(

        IpsDisplay, 27 Jan 2024Mills at this point these cons on these entry level reviews... moreIf the A54 doesn't have DeX, why would this have it?

          Magnificent Suleiman, 27 Jan 2024This level of nitpicks is just like when they used to compl... more"TV turner" is called IR blaster as what frequenters call it around here; basically how a remote works. I don't need an IR blaster on my phone or electronics when I can buy the remote on eBay or Mercari.

          And yea, if it's above 125 USD, I think it deserves an actual IP rating. Motorola is screwing us with this "Water repellent design" BS. The golden standard in IP68 or IP67. Some may have IPX4 or IP53 but IP67 is the sweet spot. It survives submersion, heavy dust and whatnot.

            Well I mean we know it's 99% the same a24 4g from last year and you mention it in your review
            Why you don't compare it with a24 4g in the alternatives? That phone has aod and pis and their price is pretty much similar

              In some markets, the difference between this and the 5G version is only like $20. I wonder why Samsung even bother releasing this 4G version.

                I am impressed by the gaming battery life tho

                  Anonymous, 27 Jan 2024>the first entry-level Samsung phone to get a Super AMOL... moreGsmarena isn't very sharp on their entry level knowledge

                  They know the weight in grams for the S24 ultra smartphone tho

                  Don't take their entry level reviews seriously , this is a flagship review site

                    Mills, 27 Jan 2024"No DeX or AOD." It's a ENTRY-LEVEL scree... moreMills at this point these cons on these entry level reviews are getting ridiculous

                    Do they mean Dex as in TV out on usb-C as a CON??

                    I feel like gsmarena is incapable of reviewing of reviewing entry level smartphones at this point

                      Anonymous, 27 Jan 2024If you care about software updates don't get an entry-... moreSame for the entry-levels. Poco M6 Pro also gets 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates starting on android 13, and since Samsung A15 has 2 os updates from android 14, they're the same.

                        Mills, 27 Jan 2024"No DeX or AOD." It's a ENTRY-LEVEL scree... moreThis level of nitpicks is just like when they used to complain about phones not having TV tuner (yes, I'm old)

                        Looks decent enough, but I think every phone should have some basic water resistance in this day and age.

                          Almost perfect for budget phone.
                          Only thing to fix next gen

                            It's a ENTRY-LEVEL screen. I mean, does a phone need LTPO to perform AoD?

                              Anonymous, 27 Jan 2024Most people prefer 19.5:9 screen because it's not narr... moreEl 💯 % agree, couldn't agree more. Really indeed 20:9 is all the way too stretched vertically, and therefore not onehand friendly. It even looks not harmoneous.

                              19,5:9 or even 19:9 are far way better, easier to use. These are comfortably broad, i just like these proportions so much.

                                Spanky, 27 Jan 2024What is Samsung’s obsession with this annoying 19.5:9 ratio... moreMost people prefer 19.5:9 screen because it's not narrow and gives more space for typing unlike the 20:9 aspect ratio

                                And a 19.5:9 aspect ratio looks way better imo

                                  MarOMG, 27 Jan 2024Well, there are much better options than A15 in this price ... moreA15 5G has a different and faster chip than the 4G one.

                                  For the price difference you mentioned it indeed is a meh deal, but here there is a 10 euro price difference between the two models.

                                    justasmile, 27 Jan 2024No point when the Poco M6 Pro exists.Agreed.

                                      Anonymous, 27 Jan 2024>the first entry-level Samsung phone to get a Super AMOL... moreI love it when Samsung later removes stuff from entry-level hardware in order to "justify" buying the more expensive stuff. Never mind the fact that Rigid AMOLED is not that expensive to produce anymore, and that it was already used on an ultra-budget phone 7 years ago when Rigid AMOLED was much more expensive than it is now.

                                        What is Samsung’s obsession with this annoying 19.5:9 ratio? Why can’t they offer a proper 20:9 aspect ratio? 😒
