While everyone marvels at Samsung's latest and greatest Galaxy S series, for many people, these high-end devices are either unattainable or downright...
The A series has a lot of variance within it now. Personally I think anything from the A2x up is pretty good (the A25 had an Exynos chip, a 120 Hz AMOLED display and 5 years of security updates) but those beneath are more akin to what the J series used to be.
I was talking about the real entry level stuff, most likely the predecessor of the phone mentioned in this article. It had 4+64 GB combo and I think, the starting point. Of course, Samsung mid level phones are good. Four OS upgrades is quite good.
Yeah, I guess my point is that they all come under that A bracket now so it’s a bit harder to distinguish between the good ones and the not-so-good ones if you don’t understand the differences/haven’t done any research. For example, some people might think an A05s is somewhat comparable to an A55 because of the similar naming structure and design, but there is massive gap in quality between those two phones. The A55 is a great device that would be suitable for almost anyone (ignoring specific complaints like no headphone jack or the size) whereas the A05s would barely meet anyone’s minimum standards. The price difference is an indicator of course, but this was all made easier when there was a J series that was clearly designated for Samsung’s most basic smartphones.
