Wow i didn't know Samsung came out with a bunch of that phones i only had the very first one Samsung Galaxy A01 i was using that phone for 2 years later on i bought the Nokia c110 and been using until i had to make a better choice is not the best for people who loves high end phones but is excellent for me coming from very budget phones i now have the Moto G 5G 2024 but because it was on sale if not i wouldn't buy nothing.
I've had this phone for about a year. [...] I also use a high end external DAC/amp through the usb c port to listen to high resolution music with some expensive headphones. [...] However, yes, I do notice that it's a bit slow occasionally and that can be slightly frustrating. [...] I'm about to upgrade to a 2 year old flagship because i really want an OLED and it would be nice to see what 120hz is like. Plus ill be able to get security updates for longer. Really though, if i couldn't afford to update my phone, id be happy with the A04. It works and really, a video you watch on a nicer screen is still the same video... [...] So its just a bit of luxury for me to update. [...]
[...] Samsung has repeatedly broken my privacy and add settings with updates and new user agreements that popup on my phone and again open up to breaking of my settings. I have been meticulous about disabling push notifications from Samsung and apps that are affiliated with android and every update seems to break these. [...]
[...] The only good thing about a04 is only its price and battery. Reliability and performance it shows is absolutely horrible. At least you won't get disappointed from the battery as the phone has cheap average screen and a sh8tty motherboard which doesn't affect that big 5000mah battery. Its system reliability varies by stress and usage but I've faced multiple system crashes. [...]
[...] - Some apps just keep on crashing (eg. MS Teams, Edge browser, etc) - Text messaging apps becomes slow. [...]
I have this phone for months now. Got it online for a 140 euros. Pretty happy with it. I can call people and watch some asmr before sleep.

I have an iPhone 15 pro but got this A04 for work, first time I've owned an android and I have to admit it's kinda nice, and especially since this is like the cheapest android I can only imagine how good a high end version must be
A very good phone indeed, watching this content on my A04 5G with 4 gb ram and 128 gb storage I can confirm that this phone is quite the buy and worth your money as it is the best in its segment as Samsung just throws in reliable phones , I prefer this than any Chinese phones like OPPO or Xiaomi or Realme etc. I now have 6.0 One UI on this phone now!
I got this phone for like 150-170 NZ Dollars And honestly I chose this one because it was cheap but good for the price. Definitely worth for the price.
Kev, bro, you forgot to mention a Samsung Modes and Routines feature (an integrated IFTTT). I Know, because I have that phone.
