Our take on the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G 128 GB Prepaid Smartphone

The Galaxy A15 5G is Samsung's budget 5G phone, built around a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution and a MediaTek processor. It has 128 GB of storage, a water-resistant body and a single IMEI, so it works on prepaid carriers. It suits buyers who want a bright OLED display and long software support without paying flagship money. Against rivals like the Moto G 5G and the Galaxy A25, it wins on screen quality and Samsung's update policy but gives up speed and camera polish.
