I bought the phone from the carrier Consumer Cellular after they convinced me I needed a new phone, found out that there is so little storage I can't download hardly any apps or even update some of the apps pre-installed on the phone. When I called the carrier about this, I was told no problem just install an external SD card and it'll be fine. Turned out I could transfer gallery items and documents but cannot transfer almost all apps (which take up the bulk of storage). And the pre-installed apps can't be uninstalled. I've called the carrier several times (one "tech support" person actually Googled instructions to try to help). I've called Samsung a number of times, and they've walked me through the steps (even referred me to YouTube videos), they suggested I get a Samsung brand SD card (which I did) but that didn't help. Every tech support I've talked to inevitably throw up their hands about moving certain apps to the SD card. It's constantly alerting me I'm running out of space. Meanwhile, enough time passed by that it became too late to return the phone. It's embarrassing to have people suggest downloading apps, and me trying to explain why I can't.
To add to that, I've had callers complain about distortion and reverb (even though I don't have that problem on my end). Again, another embarrassing explanation...
Other than having a battery with long life compared to my old one (an S6), this phone is useless to me.
I thought Samsung was a reputable company, but I don't know what they were thinking with this poor excuse of a device.

After you install a couple of apps the memory gets full. it comes with a lot of unnecessary apps that you cannot get rid off.
terrible

At home 4 of us use this model, it is cheap, the camera is decent and the battery lasts a lifetime, calls and music are heard very well, in fact I was able to install Nova launcher and an icon pack on mine and with a lens to prevent scratching the glass and a hard rubber case at times looks like a high-end phone. Be careful, if you are looking to play fortnite in full hd with mods and all the obvious paraphernalia on top, it will not work for you. It is ideal for your aunt or granny who spends all day on their social networks sharing cat videos.

Samsung Galaxy A01, not a bad phone. It performs all basic functions. It is basic entry level phone that you can keep as secondary. I am using it for a year. I am happy with its performance. It should have 32 gig memory. It also has a Little bit short battery time.

It's not too bad, definitely better than the core version. It's pretty small and has a camera that's near mediocre but it's battery is good enough and 2gb of ram isn't too bad.

The storage is beyond horrible, besides that, it's decent.

Rana, 20 Feb 2022Yupp same havin this issue show's last December securi... moreMine's security patch level: January 1, 2022 which cause the intermittent restart. I shouldn't have update to Android 11 too, made the phone slightly slower. It was snappier with Android 10. It's the update notification which annoys me to finally upgrade to Android 11. Could not disable the update notification. Grrrrr....

Ugluke1, 10 Mar 2022Thus phone is complete ass. 1 it's storage is so bad i... moreYes i agree it is a bad phone but not like the way you described it, i have been using it for over a year now and it keeps surprising me everyday with a new feature, the only real bummer about this smartphone is storage and bloatware but to me it's not a problemo cause i moved all demanding apps to SD CARD. On camera can't complain, mono speaker it's a banger, the snapdragon 439 and the 2gig ram makes it snappy. Even after the security patch update January 2022 i never experienced any anomalies.
