Samsung Galaxy A04 - improvements not on all fronts
The Korean company Samsung does not forget about the low price category of the smartphone market, but an experienced developer cannot create a real budget hit. The hero of today's review also has a number of critical shortcomings, which even not very whimsical users will pay attention to. And although in some aspects it is more interesting than its predecessor, there are not as many significant improvements as we would like.
The appearance of the novelty causes controversial feelings. The rear panel has become more beautiful thanks to the actual design of the dual camera, which resembles that of the flagships of the corporation. The color schemes of the cases made of not the worst plastic are also attractive, but the front surface is frustrating with the wide screen bezels and the design of the 5-megapixel selfie camera straight from 2018. Unfortunately, the fingerprint sensor did not appear, so the security of the data on the phone is ensured only by the face recognition system. The 6.5-inch IPS display still disappoints with a low HD + resolution, so you should not hope for excellent picture clarity. With the values of brightness and contrast, everything is not so sad, they are no worse than those of opponents.
Metamorphoses with technical characteristics have occurred quite strange. UNISOC T606 has been replaced by MediaTek Helio P35, which has even slightly lower performance. 3GB / 4GB / 6GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 video adapter do not affect the current situation, you can play either 2D projects or undemanding 3D Android games like World Of Tanks Blitz. On the other hand, it is impossible to scold the chipset for excessive heating or increased power consumption. As a result, the device operates on a 5000mAh battery for a stable two days. But there is no fast charging, the battery is gaining capacity for almost five hours. The size of the internal storage of 32/64/128GB can always be expanded with MicroSD cards, there will definitely be no problems with the amount of ROM.
The photo capabilities of the 50- and 2-megapixel modules are not bad for a low-budget Android smartphone. Cameras confidently cope with daytime shooting of stationary objects, pleasing under such lighting conditions and detailing the photo, and its color reproduction. Of course, you don’t need to count on the same result in the evening or at night. The mono speaker does not strike the imagination with its loudness or balanced frequency response, but it will not let you miss an important call. Android 12 completes the list of gadget pluses. Thus, the considered device will not make a revolution and will not achieve the title of a bestseller, however, its acquisition is unlikely to be a cause for frustration due to its good functionality and impressive autonomy. But the previous model was not weaker.
