What the reviewers said

3.5/5Jul 29, 2025

A solid, affordable mid-ranger with decent camera, strong battery life and good software support, but it is unexciting and offers little advance over the Galaxy A35.

  • Exemplary software support with six years of updates
  • Good camera performance in the mid-range class
  • Two-day battery life with fast 45W charging
  • IP67 water and dust resistance
  • Improved brightness and strong AMOLED display
  • Mediocre performance with micro-stutters
  • Drab, all-plastic design with thick chin
  • Doesn't feel like great value
  • Only 5MP macro, no dedicated telephoto
  • No microSD support and no wireless charging

7.5/10Jun 21, 2025

Strong display, six years of software support and good battery life, but 6GB RAM leaves performance lagging behind rivals at $400.

  • Vibrant 120Hz Super AMOLED display
  • Six years of OS and security updates
  • Gorilla Glass Victus+ front and back
  • All-day battery life with 45W charging
  • Microско SD card slot
  • Occasional performance lag due to 6GB RAM
  • Trimmed-down Galaxy AI features
  • No wireless charging
  • Ultrawide and macro cameras drop off in quality
  • Overpriced compared to Galaxy A56

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
