Is the Galaxy A15 worth it?

Yes, if you want a low-cost phone with a good OLED screen and 5G. It is not the phone for gaming or heavy multitasking.

For calls, messaging, maps and video, yes. Expect apps to reload when you switch between several of them.

Should I get 64 GB or 128 GB?

Get 128 GB. Android and preinstalled apps take a large share of 64 GB, and there is no guarantee of a microSD slot on every model.

Does it have a headphone jack?

Yes. It also charges over USB-C.

Does the Galaxy A15 support 5G on AT&T?

This version is listed as an AT&T 5G phone. Confirm the model is carrier-unlocked if you plan to use another network.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy A15

The Samsung Galaxy A15 is a budget Android phone with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen at 2340 x 1080, a 50 MP main camera backed by an ultrawide and macro lens, and a 13 MP front camera. It runs Android with 4 GB RAM and comes in 64 GB or 128 GB storage, with 5G, a fingerprint reader, face unlock and a headphone jack. It is a sensible pick for a first smartphone or a low-cost second line, though 4 GB RAM and the entry storage keep it firmly in budget territory.
