Our take on the Samsung A04e A042mds 32GB Black

The Galaxy A04e is Samsung's entry-level 4G phone: a 6.5-inch LCD, 32GB of storage, 3GB of RAM and a 13MP main camera. It runs on a modest chip with 4G LTE and works on GSM networks such as T-Mobile and its MVNOs. It suits people who need a basic phone for calls, messaging, maps and light apps, and it competes with other budget Androids on screen size and Samsung's software support rather than speed. Owners of this class of phone tend to praise the large display and battery life and complain about slow performance and little storage.
