Samsung A15
I decided to wait to write a review because I was on the fence about keeping it or not. My previous phone was a Samsung A10E which is not a very heavy phone. The A15 is considerably heavier which I am (still) not very comfortable with. Comparing the 2 phones as far as memory is concerned is markedly different. The A10E has 32 gigs of internal memory. The A15 has 128 gigs of internal memory. Considering that I have alot of pics on my phone with several different albums, this makes the A15 a better product. The battery life is quite good. The appearance is beautiful. I purchased the light blue phone. I have a clear cover on my phone. This is my 4th Samsung cell phone. Samsung never disappoints with quality, durability and performance. I love the Samsung Smart Switch which makes moving your data from one phone to another fast and super easy. They don’t provide a SIM card or micro SD card so you need to make sure to move your cards into your new phone. The software is similar to previous Samsung phone with a few tweaks. For example, to get a screen shot for the A15 you need to press both power and volume down button simultaneously. What makes the A15 different from any of my previous Samsungs is with the A15 you have to press each twice. There is a feature that would put a floating icon on your screen and open it and tap screenshot then you will get your screenshot. Now, what sold me on the A15 is a neat feature where, upon your approval, they will block all spam/scam phone calls. So no more annoying spam/scam calls!! It’s a neat feature!! Like I said, I love Samsung phones!!

Great phone for the value. USA, T-MOBILE.
Good phone for a low cost. Everything transfered smoothly. I have T- Mobile and I’m in the USA. Good photos and videos. Smooth scrolling. Not too many crazy updates. I like the ability to remove most preinstalled apps as well. Battery life is great.
Downfalls are minimal. *Side on/off button is flush with the side and takes longer to locate.
*screenshot are rather difficult with the palm swipe. It takes quite a few tries, loosing what you want to screenshot happens often. As an older person I screenshot things I can’t read so I can zoom in. I try to avoid that now.
*No sd card storage to remove or replace. I miss that, even though the phone has lots of available room. I use to save the sd cards for personal back up photos.
*Sim card slot looks as if it won’t securely hold in the tray. Isn’t a tight fit, but suprisingly it does work with some patience.
A month into use,
It’s a good phone so far!

Good Phone at Reasonable Price
After being an Apple customer for several years, I am starting to get tired of constantly having to get a new phone at a cost of about $1000 every few years. My phones tend to last longer than the software upgrades allow. I still have a working iPhone 3GS that can be used. I even bought a SIMM conversion kit to test it. It still works, but not much good for anything else but playing my music library.
This phone is my delve into the Android world, and at a little over $200 this phone seems to work great. I only did the basic setup, and haven’t logged it into any accounts like Google or Samsung, but I can insert the SIMM card, and use it like an old fashioned phone, should my aging iPhone 8 fail on me. Right now, I am trying to decide about whether to shell out for another Apple product or just go with Samsung, like a lot of others have done, according to recent news about how Apple is losing market share to Samsung.
After I get a chance to play around with the phone a little more, I will probably update this review.

Excellent budget phone
Excellent value phone for money. I have used A14 Samsung phone prior and I didn’t think it was that slow or bad, only the screen was not very good but this phone definitely a great budget phone. This A15 phone has oled screen so the screen is excellent like the more expensive Samsung phones , battery life is excellent, calls and texts works great on Tmobile. The only thing is the processing speed is somewhat slower but not that bad for everyday functions, some internet browsing, using apps… no regret.

Worst Phone
I’ve had a lot of different Samsungs, and phones in general. Im of the age that they didn’t have smart phones until I was in my late 20s. And this is far and away the worst phone I’ve ever used. All the cool features they list have to be shut off or disabled just to get the stupid thing to work. Yeah, the battery life is great. But who cares if you can’t use the thing without the screen glitching/being nonresponsive. The sound out of the built in speaker is like trying to listen to something on an earbud not in your ear. The one good thing that came out of this experience (I returned this phone) is I went back to my s10e and love it. By comparison it feels like a brand new phone because this one is such garbage.

Almost like my Galaxy S23FE
Not much to dislike, looks and feels like my S23FE but considerably less expensive. Really like the both but bought the A15 5G for my wife since here 5 yr old galaxy was getting outdated. She just wanted a basic phone that was reliable, took good pictures/videos and easy to operate. The A15 5G met all her requirements and more, even has a earphone jack and micro sd card for external storage – which the S23FE does not. Has the same Android 14 as my S23FE. File and app transfer from the old Galaxy to to A15 was smooth. Fast charge battery is very good via USB connection (no wireless charge). The phone is fast and responsive. Highly recommend.
