What we like about Samsung Galaxy A04s (3GB + 32GB)

  • Long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery that can provide up to two days of life on a single charge
  • Smooth 90Hz refresh rate display which is rare for an entry-level budget device
  • Capable 50MP main camera that performs well in daylight conditions
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion
  • Solid software support with the inclusion of Samsung One UI Core and Knox security
  • Conveniently placed and accurate side-mounted fingerprint reader

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy A04s (3GB + 32GB)

  • Poor performance and frequent lag due to the aging Exynos 850 chipset and low 3GB RAM in the base model
  • Slow charging speeds (15W) that can take over two hours for a full charge
  • The 720p HD+ display lacks sharpness and has mediocre brightness for outdoor use
  • Mono speaker sound quality is distorted and lacks bass at higher volumes
  • Slow and sluggish camera autofocus, especially in low-light or action shots
  • Glossy plastic build attracts fingerprints, grease, and dust easily

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A04s (3GB+32GB) is an entry-level smartphone featuring a 6.5-inch HD+ PLS LCD display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, powered by an Exynos 850 octa-core processor. It includes a versatile triple rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth lens, plus a 5MP front camera. A major pro is its substantial 5,000mAh battery capacity, offering impressive endurance, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD card. However, the key cons are the phone's subpar performance and frequent UI lag due to the limited 3GB RAM and low-power chipset, the low 720p display resolution, slow 15W charging with no charger included in the box, and a single, average-quality speaker.
