Each dot is one review, adjusted for how that publication usually scores; the line is our consensus. The closer the dots sit to the line, the more the reviewers agree.
Where the reviewers agree
Six years of OS and security updates is a standout strength. — Tech Advisor, Android Police, SmartWorld, PC-Welt
The display is bright and vivid, with a 120Hz refresh rate. — Android Police, SmartWorld
The main camera performs well for its class, with good colours and dynamic range. — Tech Advisor, SmartWorld, PC-Welt
Battery life lasts about two days, with fast 45W charging. — Tech Advisor, Android Police, SmartWorld, PC-Welt
Where they disagree
Reviewers differ on value: SmartWorld says the launch price is too high for the performance, Android Police calls it overpriced against the Galaxy A56, while Tech Advisor and PC-Welt say it is affordable. — SmartWorld, Android Police, Tech Advisor, PC-Welt
Tech Advisor and PC-Welt find the performance mediocre or barely improved over the A35, while SmartWorld calls the chip modest; Android Police cites occasional lag from 6GB RAM. — Tech Advisor, PC-Welt, SmartWorld, Android Police
Bottom line: Suits buyers wanting a long-supported, bright mid-range Samsung with strong battery life and a good main camera. The trade-offs are modest performance, a plastic and unexciting design, weak ultrawide and macro cameras, and a price some reviewers consider too high.

3.5/5Jul 29, 2025
A solid, affordable mid-ranger with decent camera, strong battery life and good software support, but it is unexciting and offers little advance over the Galaxy A35.
Exemplary software support with six years of updates
A solid mid-range Samsung phone leaning toward the entry tier, with excellent display, fast charging and six years of updates. The launch price is wrongly positioned, though the market has…
Long six-year software and security update support
Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
