Galaxy A15 Review – Features, Specs, and Performance

For quite some time, Samsung has dominated the mobile phone industry. Over time, it has created both expensive and affordable phones. Galaxy A15, however, comes in the budget-friendly list when compared to the features it offers.

It has a very good build quality and crispy display. The performance specifications are also very good. We tested the phone comprehensively in different ways. In this post, we will now go over its key specifications and functionality. Now, let’s get going.

An Overview of Galaxy A15

Samsung Galaxy A15 is a phone that overperforms its price range. For only $199.99, you can have a device that can easily go on for four years. This means that it is eligible for four years of system updates. This device is easily ahead of its competitor devices of the same price range.

Features Overview

The features of this device are mentioned in the table below:

 Design

Design-wise, the Galaxy A15 is similar to some other Samsung mobiles. It weighs around 200g. Its dimensions are 6.30 x 3.02 x 0.33 (inches). This gives the device a resemblance to S23 FE and S24+. These are fairly expensive phones. This indicates that holding A15 gives you a premium feeling. 

This mobile device has round corners and flat sides. The glass used in the display is Gragontrail Pro. The whole body is mostly made of plastic. There’s an important thing to understand about this phone. It does not have any IP rating. This means you should avoid exposing it to dust and water. This is a very normal thing for this price range.

Buttons and ports:

The Key Island of Galaxy A15 has two main buttons. One is the volume rocker and the other is the power button. What we like about this is the recessed nature of the power button. The volume rocker, on the other hand, is above the surface. The power button acts as a fingerprint sensor as well.

There’s a combined SIM and microSD tray on the left side of the device. The bottom contains a 3.5mm headphone jack along with a USB-C port. A decent-quality speaker is also placed at the bottom.

The back contains three vertically placed cameras. The front camera is in the upper middle of the screen and is placed in a U-shaped notch. The model comes in two colors, Blue Black and Light Blue.

Display

The display of Galaxy A15 is brighter than A14. Its brightness is around 800 nits. This gives a very good experience even though there are visible bezels around it. These bezels are also a normal thing for budget phones.

The display resolution of this phone is 2340 X 1080. This means that you can watch videos in HD. Navigation on the display is also very smooth due to its 90Hz refresh rate. However, it is fixed and can’t be changed.

We had a great experience using the phone indoors. The outdoor experience wasn’t bad also. Remember that the shadows may ruin your experience outdoors.

Performance

This phone delivers the performance that an average mobile user needs. We ran different heavy games on it and had a very good experience.

Besides this, we opened multiple applications in the background along with some tabs on Chrome. The phone didn’t lag very much. That is due to the powerful processor it contains. Put simply, it’s a decent phone for a general audience.

Battery Life

The battery life of this phone is what impressed us the most. It’s clearly better than the A14. We tested it by playing an HD video at full brightness on it. It was played on a WiFi connection. The battery lasted for around 13 hours.

As you can expect, the wireless charging option isn’t in this phone. But a 25W charger will work to charge it. It took about 95 minutes for it to fully charge the battery when we used it. The battery life may change depending on the usage. For example, playing online games may drain it faster.

Camera Quality

The Camera quality of Galaxy A15 didn’t disappoint us as well. Its three rear cameras are:

• 50MP f/1.8 (main)
• 5MP f/2.2 (ultra-wide)
• 2MP f/2.4 (macro)

The main camera captures the best photos, of course. As default, it captures at 12MP. However, you can capture at 50MP as well. The ultra-wide helps you capture more area. The color quality of the images is very satisfactory.

The macro camera is also very good. But to get the most out of it, you might need appropriate lighting. The selfie camera can capture 13MP photos. The portrait mode does not blur the edges very efficiently. Overall, you can capture very natural selfies.

The video, on the other hand, can be recorded at 1080p (30fps). Its stabilization didn’t impress us very much.

5G Network

This phone supports a 5G network. You can use it wherever the 5G internet is available. This indicates that you can enjoy high-speed internet in such areas. You don’t have to switch it on manually. The phone will connect to it automatically.

Pricing:

This phone costs around $119. If you want additional RAM and storage, you will have to spend extra.
