So I've been informed. I have a Galaxy A15 that I bought like two years ago because it was cheap and affordable, but I guess that's like one of the last major phones to still have a jack. And I won't trade it for a damn thing!
[...] The repair shop informed me that the Samsung Galaxy A15 screen we needed was out of stock. And the same model I bought for $200ish back in November, Best Buy was now selling for $39.99 as long as you didn't mind it tethered to TotalWireless prepaid plans. [...]
[...] I just broke my phone screen for like the 3rd time this year, and it's only April. I would like to go on record as saying that the samsung galaxy a15 is officially the Worst Phone. [...]
We use the Galaxy A15 as a test device for entry level phones in our lab. [...] There is absolutely no difference compared to a more expensive phone. Of course, there is the occasional lag (and by lag I mean that you have to wait a couple of ms/s for things to happen), and maybe you won't see the camera used on a movie set... [...]
Last time I bought a phone, I got the Samsung Galaxy A15. Their A-series is their budget series, but it still runs well overall for stuff like bsky and discord. I don't know if that translates to their newer phones like the A17, but that would be my first suggestion for something to consider.
Dang pretty nice! Got a Galaxy A15 5G myself, and so far on average I use around 20% every day, since I mainly use my MacBook for everything when I'm home and then I just use telegram and discord and stuff on there aswell or my Garmin Fenix when I am out and about, so I almost never use my phone
On my phone (Galaxy A15 5G) with the most recent github release of the app, pressing the Start Scanning button causes the top section with the app title, export, trash, and settings buttons to change color, flickering back and forth between orange and white.
Dear Samsung: I just bought a new Galaxy A15 and activated it today; however, it won't load any images online. [...] My phone is half useless without this function. [...]
I got the Samsung Galaxy A15 recently as a birthday gift. I don't know much about cameras, but here's a picture of my Pathfinder Goblin Head I took as proof of its quality. Never used my phone much before (old one was shit), but so far it's gone smoothly
Well, my phone's graphics card is dying. [...] You're better off using a string & cans as your smartphone than the Galaxy A15 if you want a good performing device that doesn't shit itself when 3 apps are open at once. [...]
Allow everybody to only buy the cheapest of foods and the most basic shelters. [...] iPhones are a luxury good; they are significantly more expensive than budget smartphones that can nonetheless practically serve the needs of most people if not their wants. Is that Samsung Galaxy A15 a great phone? [...] Not having a smartphone like even that Galaxy A15 will make life exceedingly prohibitive today, but not having an iPhone won't adversely affect your requisite daily affairs. [...]
Spent a few hours yesterday messing with GameNative on my phone (Galaxy A15) and the conclusion was: Apparently the only game from my Steam/Epic collection that runs well enough is Sonic Mania blutoid
I own a Galaxy A15 5G, which still has some AI in it but I manage to avoid it easily (though it is running on Android which Google is trying to fuck up, I hear, in the next year, so I might try and see if I can get a fork somehow?)
I legit bought the cheapest phone bestbuy had on offer when my old phone - a pixel 5a - broke on me just before vacation. Got a galaxy a15 It has a headphone jack and the best battery life of any phone I've had Terrible ram, but I really don't feel like switching lol
I tried that on my phone (Samsung Galaxy A15; Volume Down+"Side Button" for 30 seconds or so) and all it did was reboot, not actually shut down.
Samsung has released the March update for the Galaxy A15 but it hasn't reached my phone yet. See how long it takes.
I just went through a bunch of shenanigans that began with "Whaddaya mean the Libby app needs to have internet connectivity to work, I want to read my library loans offline" and ended with a freshly de-DRM'd epub installed on Calibre on my laptop and the ebooks.com app on my Galaxy A15. It […]
I have a Samsung Galaxy A15 (very basic) and I don’t have any app. Just try to use aperture, speed and Iso and the filters on my Phone or the lighting and contrasts
I got a entry level Android phone: a Samsung Galaxy A15 and I will spend the weekend with it, testing the performance of my apps to see how they really feel on a device closer to what most people use. If you want me to test your app as well, reply with a link and I will share some impressions.
