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!

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!!

This is a very nice phone. Samsung did a really good job on this one.The build quality is solid. The plastic case is a matte iridescent deep blackish blue and does a good job at not showing fingerprints. The AMOLED screen has good colors and perfect deep blacks. The high capacity battery (5,000mAh) lasts 7-10 days with light usage before needing to recharge. The software is typical Samsung high-quality and the Samsung-built email app is still the best amongst Android phones. The fingerprint reader on the side unlocks the phone instantaneously. The charging port is USB-C. Speed-wise, the phone is plenty fast and doesn’t lag. It has 5G cell phone connectivity but you can turn it off and use 4G to save on battery life. Networking also supports 2G (i.e. GSM) that can be turned on or off. Built-in storage is a whopping 128GB. Expansion-wise, the SIM tray accepts 2 SIM cards (i.e. this is indeed a dual-SIM phone), or 1 SIM card + 1 Micro-SD card. There is a headphone jack at the bottom, next to the charging port. The phone is quite big, i.e. the screen is huge, and it’s rather heavy but so are most phones nowadays. It barely fits in my pants pockets.This is marketed as an entry-level phone, but honestly, it has such much memory, long battery life, fingerprint unlock, 3 good cameras, dual-SIM, Micro-SD expansion, headphone jack, USB C, great software support, future-proof updates, and is quite fast, so you may wonder why you’d ever need to buy anything more expensive.Overall, great modern phone at a reasonable price ($200) that should work well for most people and last a long time.

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.

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.

For my uses this phone is a great deal. I use it as a phone, for email, to text, to access the internet, for Zoom, to navigate, to take photos, and a bunch of lesser things like controlling my alarm system and thermometer, reading the Washington Post etc. What I don’t do is game and social media.The most important things I want in a phone are that it does what I need, which it does, and that it be stable and robust – it’s a Samsung — nuf said.I had been using a Samsung Galaxy J7 for the past five years but finally decided that it just didn’t have enough memory so I got the A15 which has about 4x more memory and seems perfectly adequate. Aside from inadequate memory, my old J7 worked perfectly and still does.I see some complaints about the A15 being slow. It seems fine for my uses, but you’ve probably guessed by now that I’m not exactly a tech expert, power user type. I can tell you that videos and Zoom operate smoothly. It may not work very well for high demand functions like gaming, but I wouldn’t know.I opted for the US version for $200 rather than the international version for $20 or $30 less because I didn’t want to mess around with any possible compatibility issues with my isp. Speaking of cost: for my uses, why would I spend 4 to 6 times more for a high-end phone — really?The battery seems fine. I let it charge at night but it so far has never gone below 80% during an average day’s use. The screen is large and sharp and the cameras seem to do a fine job. I could only wish that it was smaller and lighter and that it had cordless charging but for the price I’m not complaining.FYI: The phone weighs 7.57 oz (0.47lbs) and the dimensions are 6 ¼” x 3”

I’ve always purchased budget phones and my TCL 30 SE phone battery swelled up and cracked the back of the case off. So decided to give the Samsung Galaxy A15 phone a try. I like the build quality of the phone it feels solid and with 5g data and amoled display it’s worth the price. It has everything I want in a phone. I don’t open a lot of web page tabs so it fast enough for me. It’s the four years of Android upgrades that sold me on this phone. My last phone didn’t last two years before the battery problem. I hope this phone last long enough to receive all the Android upgrade. The power button is a little hard to press, but the fingerprint sensor works great. I really like this phone and highly recommend this budget phone.

Got this to replace my A13 which I was happy with but broke the glass. The cost of this was just a bit more than having the glass replaced (from what I Googled I really don’t know).. so rather than risk someone doing a bad job, this gave me a brand new phone and the battery life is crazy long!

Great phone. This phone has headphone jack which works perfectly and still has SD slot, which were my 2 main reasons for purchasing it. It works great on my network. I don’t find it slow, however I have not owned a flagship phone since samsung removed SD slots. For the price it is worth giving it a try, I am glad I did.
