While Samsung's higher-end flagship phones usually get most of the attention, the company also makes some decent budget-oriented devices. Those ultra-cheap phones are part of Samsung's "A series," and the latest model is the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G. I've spent about two weeks using the Galaxy A15 5G, and you get a lot of smartphone for $200 with this device. The display, camera, battery life, and software are all pretty good considering the price point.
But it's rare that any phone in 2024 struggles with basic day-to-day usage, like multitasking and using apps. And the Galaxy A15 5G, using a mediocre MediaTek processor, is downright slow. If you can spend $100 or $200 more on a smartphone, your experience will be a lot better. With that being said, the Galaxy A15 5G is just about the best you'll find in the $200 price range.
