Samsung Galaxy M04 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Samsung Galaxy M04 Overview
Samsung Galaxy M04 - mediocre in everything?
The Korean company Samsung is still inferior to competitors from China in the low price segment of the smartphone market. Produced by a world-famous manufacturer, the models almost do not change in terms of design, technical characteristics and photographic capabilities. This situation is also relevant for the hero of today's review.
The appearance of the novelty is inconspicuous and not the most attractive. There is no fingerprint scanner, the display bezels are quite thick, and the design of the 5-megapixel selfie camera is several years outdated. Perhaps the only positive aspects of the exterior will be a double camera and eye-pleasing colors of the cases. The applied 6.5-inch IPS display has not changed dramatically. An increased refresh rate of the picture has not appeared, the resolution is still a modest 1600x720 pixels. Only a decent margin of brightness for IPS technology and calibrated realistic color reproduction will be praised.
The MediaTek Helio P35 processor will soon celebrate its fourth birthday, its relevance is in question. Even with 4GB of RAM and a PowerVR GE8320 video adapter, the chipset does a poor job of rendering the Android 12 interface, to say nothing of modern games. If undemanding PUBG or not very resource-intensive World Of Tanks Blitz will be available with minimal graphic presets, but the latest Genshin Impact, Wreckfest and similar projects either do not start at all, or offer slideshows instead of gameplay. The CPU power efficiency is not outstanding, but the 5000mAh battery eliminates any potential battery issues. The battery gives about one and a half days of communication with a mobile assistant. The presence of a USB Type-C port, unfortunately, did not affect the fast charging power (10W). For information storage, 64/128GB of ROM are allocated, supplemented by a microSD card slot. Thus, the size of the internal storage will suit most of the audience.
Thrifty photographers will have to look for an alternative to the device. 13- and 2-megapixel photomodules, although equipped with an autofocus system and LED flash, are not ready to provide a wide range of photo opportunities. It will be possible to capture the text of documents, as well as landscapes in sunny weather, but other scenarios will be spoiled by noise, an abundance of blurry details. An inexpensive gadget lacks stereo sound, the only speaker tries to do everything possible so that the buyer does not miss a notification or a call. NFC contactless payments, support for 5G networks - for such functionality, you need to turn to more expensive counterparts. As a result, the device does not make an enthusiastic impression due to small differences from its predecessors and a loss in parameters to Chinese opponents.
