    Great value for money for making calls or playing very light games.

    The camera is so-so, the processor is old but energy efficient, good for multitasking, however the Android operating system is outdated, only available up to 4G network and lacks current features.

    Pros
    • Android native up to 8.1, however 9 provided by Samsung Experience.
    • Good at multitasking.

    A good cell phone for the undemanding

    It has a good decent screen for the years it has, although its HD resolution will be noticeable in images with details, its resistance to scratches is good, its resistance to falls if you pray that you do not drop it because it seems that it will turn to dust, its appearance is not striking at all, especially on the front part where it is noticeable that it is an old cell phone, the good thing about it is that it has a flash for the front camera, its comfort is excellent, its size is ideal for someone with normal hands since you can touch from end to end of the screen with one hand without difficulties, its view in the sun if it is bad it becomes very difficult to see what can force you to look for a place with shade, its storage is bad since just by configuring it you already have more than 50% of the storage full and as time goes by it will fill up until you only have 1GB of storage, its RAM is very fair and it is noticeable that it costs when multitasking and it starts to heat up. Another very positive point is that it has a fingerprint, something that low-end Samsung products like the Galaxy A04 and below did not have, its sound is very regular, something that I don't think would bother a normal person, but its maximum volume is not very high, its daily use is normal for an average person, you will not notice too much difference between this and a Galaxy A15 4G, its use in demanding games is noticeable that it costs and it is not advisable to play that, and if you are going to play I will give you an idea, Minecraft in its latest versions it is noticeable that it costs a lot and after a short time it will heat up, its photos during the day are very very regular, nothing to highlight and it does not bring many details and when it is a night photo in normal mode it is bad but when it is activated it is very normal and nothing remarkable, and in video it is bad and in my case it does not even focus, its selfies are almost nothing striking other than the front flash, its calls, GPS and Wi-Fi are nothing remarkable, and its battery is very fair since with demanding use it gives you 4 hours.

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
