If you do not see the Samsung phone mentioned in this guide, it may be because it has not been sold in the United States and is a little more difficult to test. It includes devices like Galaxy A55 or the entire Galaxy M series. But here are some other Samsung phones that must be taken into account.

Samsung Galaxy A25 5G for $ 300: This is the only Samsung phone in the collection that I have not tested. I have reviewed an old model a few years ago, the A23 5G, and had a very bad experience, but things could change dramatically throughout the year. On paper, the specifications appear solid, although Snappy is not expected.

Samsung Galaxy A15 5G for $ 170: Galaxy A15 was a little disappointment because its predecessor was exceptional. The performance achieved great success in this latest model, and I suffered from delay and slowdown. Not fun. He – she Do Get NFC so that you can make payments without contact, not to mention the support of the longest software, but it is difficult to be happy with these privileges when the phone is annoying to use. Samsung launched a successor, Galaxy A16And I will review it soon.

If you are looking to provide some cash, I think it is good to buy the Galaxy S23 group of Samsung or Galaxy S23 FE from 2023, as long as the prices are less than the original MSRP deal. These phones will still get support for a while, and they are very great. I don’t think it is worth buying anything elderly.

Should you invest in Samsung’s ecosystem?

Samsung is one of the few smartphones manufacturers that can match Apple to its ecosystem of devices. Not only does the company make smartphones, but you can also expand your experience by adding the Smartwatch Galaxy Watch7 watch, Galaxy Buds3 Pro AybudsThe circular galaxy fitness ring, Galaxy Tab S10+ TabletAnd even a Windows laptop.

There are some privileges for this as well, such as how some features are on Galaxy and Watch7 It is only available when associated with Samsung, and the earphones will automatically turn between Samsung devices based on what you use. There is not much in the exclusive feature when using the Galaxy phone with a laptop from Galaxy, but privileges such as fast post allow you to send pictures and documents quickly between your devices.

Again, this is not necessary, and these other devices may not be the right things for you within the categories of each of them, but if you are chasing equal devices, you have this option with Samsung.

What is Galaxy AI?

With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung “Galaxy Ai”, a selection of artificial intelligence features, is launched, many of which are operated through the large Geographic Gemini models. These smart features that may be useful day by day, such as the actual time translations during the actual time during the actual time during the time of phone calls, actual time copy , Or change the sentence tone with the Samsung keyboard. The virtual audio auxiliary, the ability of Gemini to work with multiple applications simultaneously.

You can find many of these features by heading to Settings> Galaxy AI To replace them or outside. The following phones include or updated to support the Galaxy AI, although all features are not available on old models:

Samsung’s Dex (short of “desktop experience”) was launched in 2017 and is a way to connect your Samsung phone to an external screen and run the desktop version from the Android operating system, all fully supported by the phone. You can find a list of Samsung phones compatible hereAnd you will need a screen, mouse and keyboard, as well as a cable to connect the phone to the screen. (You can also throw DEX to select the screens wirelessly.)

When you are in Dex mode, you can change the size of Android applications, and make them open all in separate Windows. It is a suitable computing platform, although you may not want to use this as a permanent alternative to the laptop or anything like that. It is great if you are visiting another office, or working outside a café or plane (if you have a portable screen). We have a complete guide to preparing and using DeX here.

How do I test phones

I have been reviewing the smartphones for nearly a decade, but one of my first smart devices was Samsung Galaxy yesterday, which I got for a “free” from my carrier at the time. After working during college, I finally provided enough money for the Galaxy S3, my first pioneer. I spent years using Samsung phones in my personal life and started reviewing it for a long time.

With every Samsung smartphone, I always put a personal SIM card inside and spend as long as I can (a few weeks) using my phone. I test the camera and compare the results with similar prices, and I link the performance and play the Pianic demand games to learn how to get it out, try all the new features, and even take calls to make sure that the OL ‘function is still working well.
