Samsung has launched their Next generation of A series: Samsung A15 5G and A25 5G. We will Talk about A25 in a later article, But let's see what the Samsung A15 consists of and why it EXISTS.
For more technical details click here.
1. PHYSICAL OVERVIEW
The Samsung A15 5G looks similar to Samsung's premium series: the S Series. Thanks to the camera module. The Body and frame are made of plastic. The Samsung A15 weighs around 200 grams and is quite handy. As for the buttons and ports, on the bottom side, we get a 3.5mm jack, a USB-C port, and a microphone.
On the left-hand side, we get a Sim-slot with a Hybrid slot( One SIM+ One SD or Both SIM). On the right side, we get volume buttons with a power button with a fingerprint scanner included in it. On the upper side, we get a Secondary mic. So far, the A15 looks decent physically.
2. DISPLAY
The Display on A15 has a change from its ancestors. It has a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED Display with 90Hz refresh rate. Finally, in the Samsung A1X series, we got to see an AMOLED Display. But as usual Samsung, It always disappointed by giving a Notched-display. It has an ugly U-shaped notch display. Considering the competition, if we see other brands, we get to see a punch-hole display, but in Samsung, we get to see a U-shaped notch display.
But it's a Samsung display, so the colors are punchy and vivid. The display is also Widevine L1 certified, So the OTT content is displayed in Full HD quality. It also has gorilla glass protection. So far, the display is vivid and beautiful.
3. HARDWARE
The Hardware on the Samsung A15 is a bit controversial. For transparency, The Samsung A15 5G starts from 6/128 GB Variant and the price starts from Rs. 19499/-, which means around 20K/-. and for that, we are getting a dimensity 6100+ chipset in this handset. Dimensity 6100+ is not a bad chipset, It is a 10-12K budget ranged chipset, But Samsung decided to bring Dimensity 6100+ in a 20K ranged smartphone, which is absolutely nuts and not so worthy. Dimensity 6100+ is a 2.2Ghz Clock speed-based chipset, and can easily handle the work easily, but the performance which we get is like a 10K ranged smartphone.
In the 20K segment, we have brands which had launched phones with better chipsets like SD 695, Dimensity 7030, and other powerful chipsets. Getting back to A15 5G, the ram is LPDDR4X and The storage type is UFS 2.2. All the basic work gets handled, and fair gameplay is also done, although it's not a gaming device, we have other options for that, But the job is done on A15 5G.
4. SOFTWARE
The Software on A15 5G has Samsung's latest Operating System: OneUI 6.10, which is based on the Android 14 version. The UI is smooth, animations are also improved and the User interface is smooth and snappy.
OneUI has a ton of features, which help in the day-to-day life of a normal user. It also has a ton of features like Good lock, Samsung Pay, and other stuff to make the experience more user-friendly.
5. SECURITY
As for security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor which is fast and reliable and it also has a face unlock which is also fast.
As for the updates, it will receive 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates, making it future-proof. A future-proof device at what cost.
6. CAMERA
Samsung is generally known for its best camera hardware, The story is no different here but a little bit disappointed. It has a 50MP F/1.8 main sensor, a 5MP F/2.2 Ultrawide lens, and a 2MP Useless F/2.4 Macro lens. On the front, it has a 13MP F/2.2 Selfie lens.
The camera shots taken from the main lens are quite sharp and on-point and the dynamic range is somewhat managed. The ultrawide lens is 5MP, so the photos are very soft, and in most cases, they are useless. The shots on the Selfie camera are clear and the colors are okay. Samsung color signs are managed, the photos are punchy and there is no over-sharpness. As for the Video, It can record up to FHD 30FPS.
7. BATTERY
The Battery on Samsung A15 5G is a 5000Mah Li-Po Battery with 25 watts charging support. There is no charger included in the box, we have to buy a separate charger from the Samsung store or from their website.
The battery backup is good, considering the power-efficient chipset. It draws low power, resulting in good battery backup.
8. OTHER FEATURES
The Samsung A15 5G is a 5G device, so all the major 5G bands are included in it. It also has a WIFI 5 and Bluetooth 5.3. It also contains all the important sensors in it.
NFC is also included. OneUI has a goodlock application, which basically used to customize the look and feel of the system.
9. CONCLUSION
The Samsung A 15 5G is a device that is good, but launched at a very bad price. As per our point of view, this device should be charged at 13000 - 14000 Rs., considering the brand value of Samsung. But for 20000 Rs., this device is absolutely not deserving. We have better options in the market, but no one offers the 4+5 update system like Samsung in this segment. It might became the most hated phone of 2023, But The most hated phone might be Samsung A25, which we will cover in our next article.
