    The thing about these phones is that you usually get a mediocre Exynos chipset than the more expensive ones models rocking the Snapdragon. The iphone SE might not be the flashiest cheap phone but it rocks the A15 bionic chipset which allows it to perform like it’s more expensive brethren. With these $200 phones, you’ll end up “throwing them away” after a year due to issues, especially if they receive power hungry OS updates. I mean some people might be totally fine with a laggy phone but to have it as an every day use like I’m currently doing now since I’m overseas, totally not worth it, might as well get an older Samsung flagship or something.

    The A12 has a 128 GB version.
    But despite its budget I would get 64

    It’s crazy you can buy a decent android phone or a smartphone in general for like under 300 dollars nowadays

    Why did Samsung get rid of the SD card slot for the S series, but include it on these cheapo fones?!?

    In this stage your much better off getting the A52s 5G… This is a best midrange smartphone!

  14. kamu747

    April 15, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    When we talk about the A Series, The A52s 5G has to be the best phone in the A series. 8GB/256GB internal memory. It supports 5G, takes superb photos. Its even better than the new A53. Please look up the specs.

    It’s a marvelous phone.

    3 phones that most people won’t buy. Sure they are cheap but really not worth it in 2022. Get a Galaxy A52 for $300 instead

    my galaxy a-12 is the worst phone ive ever had.

    do not get samsung galaxy a13. yes it is a cheap price but the phone is SOOO Slow. i had to ditch it for a samsung galaxy s20 FE.

  22. Megatron2013

    April 15, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    What about the Galaxy A13 5G? It’s better than the A12.

    We should stop buying those phones which have glass on back part. Mobile manufacturers are cheating us. Glass back part phone is not good for any reason.

    There’s a real reason why people spend over 💲6💲 7 or $800 for a Real!! flagship Samsung phone!!..Because those cheap $200 budget Samsung phones suck big time!! Why?? Because they don’t have enough RAM!! & they are super!! slow!! After installing anywhere from 10 to 15 apps you are completely!! out of RAM!! & then what!! LMAO🤣 bottom line you pay what you get!!

    Another sponsor video that doesn’t mention it is a sponsor video. For the sake of argument, I will compare Samsung phones with not other brands, but Samsung’s last year phones. I’d say they are better than the present series.

    I saw this in my feed and had to click on the video so I could comment. The A series phones are just plain bad . I have been using an A32 5G for awhile now and take it from me, they are horrible! The best phone in the A series is the highest numbered phone in the A series. I forget if it’s the A72/3…or A9 series..whichever is the highest model they make…start there and stay there!

    1:34 Most people who spend a lot on smartphones are those people who want stuff like 5G, Storage, High refresh rate screen etc. which is not possible on these phones

    i’m using a52 for a year now.. the new update one ui 4.1 makes my phone faster and smooth. Camera is also getting really good. Battery life is great, and no heating problem. So far i’m so happy with my phone 🙂

    I have a question. I have 2 Moto g pures. One that is barely used and not on a network, got the March 2022 update yesterday. But the one I use everyday and is on a network, didn’t get it yet. Is there a reason why I didn’t get it yet or do I have to keep waiting? Thanks for your time and help.

    • Derek Patterson

      I have , the A20, A51,A71 5G All great not one problem with them.

      April 16, 2022 at 6:26 pm

      @Derek Patterson I’ve always been used Samsung. But ever since I got a A32 5g, I’ve had nothing but trouble. So I’m done with Samsung. My Moto g pure works a ton better than the Samsung Galaxy A32.

    Instead of buying a new budget phone just buy an older flagship phone. It’s just. Going to be better

    I wish Samsung and other manufacturers would produce *SMALLER-sized* Android-compatible phones, like an iPhone Mini.

    I had Samsung a10s for 1.5 years and it is very slow, unresponsive and apps crash more frequently within the last 6 months. I upgraded it to the pixel 6 last month and it feels way better. Don’t buy phone under $200 unless you are strictly using it for call and texts. The minimum budget for a phone that can do everything is $400 for a longer longevity.

    Screen protector and which phone cases that work with for Samsung s21/s22 Phones. Are the drop ratings on cases real or hype

  47. Ervin Tagoe

    April 18, 2022 at 10:58 am

    2GB of RAM and 32GB storage is a huge red flag in 2022. Even 3GB RAM doesn’t cut it anymore. Step up to the Galaxy A32 or A52.

  48. Matthew Bossert

    April 19, 2022 at 4:25 am

    I think the Best A series would be the A51 A52 A52s or the A53 As they offer good features for a midrange price

    I have Samsung Galaxy A21s and i was glad to have an mid range phone for Samsung A series. 4gb of ram and 64gb of internal storage. In a camera only 720p is the screen resolution.

    A Burner phone? isn’t that a phone you throw away after a while? if so I couldn’t imagine throwing away $200.. I’m using an iPhone SE I got free one for me and my husband from Cricket at Christmas.. we’ll be using these until we get out of University and start working hopefully for more than $7.25 an hour
