What reviewers say

Good

  • Attractive design for the price
  • Decent main camera
  • Good selfie camera
  • Good battery life in video and gaming
  • Six OS upgrades
  • microSD slot
  • Security updates until 2031

Not so good

  • Barely changed from A16
  • Dim basic screen without auto refresh switching
  • Weak performance (4GB model laggy)
  • No stereo speakers
  • 4GB RAM on test unit
  • Limited performance
  • Mediocre battery life
  • GSMArenaNot recommendedAug 2025

    Nice-looking budget Samsung with long updates, but not competitive at its price against faster, longer-lasting rivals.

  • Notebookcheck73/100Sep 2025

    A small step over the A16 but cheap and fine for everyday use; the update promise feels less solid than it sounds.

  • FoneArenaRecommendedSep 2025

    A good pick for buyers who want steady performance, a nice screen and long support; heavy users and stereo-speaker fans should look elsewhere.

  • Business TodayRecommendedOct 2025

    A sensible choice if screen, long updates and reliable cameras matter more than speed.

  • 91mobiles80/100

    Good design, screen, low-light photos and update promise, but average speed, slow charging and modest battery put it behind rivals like Realme P4 on value.
