SAMSUNG Galaxy A25 5G A Series Cell Phone, 128GB Unlocked Android Smartphone, AMOLED Display, Advanced Triple Camera System, Expandable Storage, Power Sound w/Stereo Speakers, US Version,2024,Black

I'll say up front that I had zero desire to replace my A20 (and did so purely because I was out of updates after 5+years). I went for the A25 for one reason: the headphone jack. The reviews were mixed for the money so I went for a Like New Refurbished. It was indeed like new at a 30% discount. My needs are simple, so simple that almost any phone would do. This phone is fast enough, much brighter than the A20, has good sound quality, and takes good pics. The camera is way too complicated for my needs and leads me to my ONE BIG BEEF about it: I take a lot of screenshots and they are a pain. Why can't Samsung just give us a damn button for that? The recessed power button makes the 2-button press difficult, and the screen-swipe with the edge of your hand works maybe 50% of the time. One last thing about me: My phone is my internet. That's a choice I make to limit how much time I spend looking at a screen rather than....let's see, what's the word....oh yeah: living. This phone accomplishes that rather heavy lift just fine, clumsy screenshots and all.

Great appearance, great fit

Upgrading from an A14 due to more storage and more RAM. Hugely disappointed that this phone runs no better than my A14. The screen on the A14 is better when compared side-by-side. My A25 freezes, opens and closes apps on its own, won't keep memory of last app and will restart the app. The screen is unresponsive A LOT. Sometimes the keyboard will not pop up. Other times I'll be typing and all my words get bunched up showing where the spell check words are, but not in any field on the screen. It's so frustrating. Sometimes I have to keep tapping the screen for it to be responsive. Other times it jumps from screen to screen. The battery life is okay, nothing stellar. Sound quality is decent, but I don't care much about that at this point. I have quality ear buds and BT speakers. I've been a Samsung consumer for decades. I've had a handful of awful Samsung phones including the ones Samsung would kill, (had two of the same model and they both died a day or two away from each other) like they were scheduled to be a brick. Took me a while to get good with Samsung again...and here I am. Again. Taking a screen shot is difficult because the power button is too sensitive and the - volume button is not. It takes some finesse. Your experience might be different, but I got a crappy phone it appears. There's also some connectivity issues with LTE. I wouldn't recommend Samsung A25 at all.

Bought these for my grandparents and they love it. It can lag sometimes but what did you expect when you pay a low amount. Lol

Currently using this phone nearly a year no issues. Decent camera.

The phone works great. Granted for some of us (from the 1950s) is difficult to cope with changes and takes a while, but the system of the manufacturer works pretty good and day by day I'm more fond of my phone. The Battery takes a while to end but recharges very fast. Picture and video quality is awesome, crisp clarity.

I bought my Galaxy A25 5G on sale and was pleasantly surprised by its' many features at a very low price point. My old phone couldn't be used in direct sunlight, this AMOLED display is phenomenal, HD, bright and readable in any light. This makes using the cameras during the day very easy, regardless of the setting. The stereo speakers sound crisp and clear, and the response from the Exynos 1280 processor is fast. Battery life is great, and transfer app made switching to the new phone the easiest process yet. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to my friends.

Bought this as it has 5g vs my older A51 that was 4g. Going from 4 to 5 was not great an experience. Here are the problems I've had: 1 - Failure to re-connect to mobile network when coming back into range when out of range. I was an hour away from our house and received a call from my wife. Signal wasn't the greatest but at least I could understand her. When I went to leave, I opened Google Maps to show me the way home. Device said no connection. I remembered part of the way and figured when I was in range the phone would automatically connect. Well, I was only 1/2 hour from home and phone still gave 'no connection' message. Frustrated, I pulled over, shut the phone down and restarted it. Magically, it now had a connection! 2 - Today it would not make a call (even 911!), all incoming calls went straight to voicemail and call history did not even show these calls. Restarted phone and magically, everything was ok! 3 - Samsung music player in new phones does not play WMA files where the Samsung player in my old A51 would. I can't believe I spent this much money on a phone that I apparently need to restart every few days to get it to function properly and to restart it when I go out of range (I was only 1 county over). I may get iPhone next time or if an Android, definitely NOT Samsung.
