My device have same chipset, ram size do really affect performance. Maybe 8gb version might perform better.

    200g! Entry-level smartphones are getting heavier, so in the future "slim an lightweight" is a reason for manufacturers to ask more money for their flagships.

      this phone will lose cellular service in a couple years as 4g will shut down...

        Jesus, even the low end stuff is losing the 3.5mm jack forever.
        Also, battery life is deceiving. In modern smartphones we are usually browsing most of the time, and the score there was very average.

          Helio G99 is getting long in the tooth.

            Er…you may want to look at the spec listings on the first page guys, I highly doubt this thing has two 50mp macro cameras 🤷

              Bad phone is bad. Only cheap amoled screen.
              Real pro's use IPS LCD display.
              Mark these words...

                    Did the A15 not have 4 OS updates?

                        It does cost more to do it with a headphone jack, but indeed it is possible like sony and asus proved.

                        Even LG phones had IP rating at some point.

                          Along with thicc phones like the rugged chinese ones that have all the bling bling while still having ip ratings.

                            Darth Caesium, 29 Nov 2024How to fix this device: •Give it a real proximity sensor ... moreIt lacks gyroscope sensor too.

                              How to fix this device:
                              •Give it a real proximity sensor
                              •Make the base version have 6GB of RAM, or even just make the base version also have 8GB RAM like the higher storage variant

                              Even better, don't make separate 4G and 5G variants, just go all in on 5G. It really doesn't cost that much more, Samsung's just being greedy here.

                              EDIT: Also add a gyroscope sensor.

                                "There is one feature that has been retired since the A15, and that is the 3.5mm audio jack. Maybe this was the cost of ingress protection" then how can the sony xperia and asus phones have an IP rating with a headphone jack?

                                  But

                                  Is it fair to only mention it as a con on samsung phones, while there are other brands also using it?

                                  Just make it a con for all brands using it then.
