Samsung Galaxy A24 Review
Looking for a budget-friendly smartphone that will meet your demands? Look no further than the Samsung Galaxy A24! Unlike its budget-friendly companions, the A24 steps up its game with features that hardly a smartphone of this range can offer you.
Imagine a smooth, crystal-clear screen that brings your videos to life. Cameras that capture stunning shots, day or night. And a battery that lasts for ages, so you can enjoy the non-stop entertainment without battery anxiety. All these wrapped up in a sleek, eye-catching design that is budget-friendly for you.
However, it doesn’t satisfy me for gaming purposes, as I have had the mind-blowing gaming experience of Galaxy S23 and Asus Rog Phone 7. But for everyday tasks, social media scrolling, and capturing life’s moments, the A24 is your budget-savvy companion. Think of it as the phone that does everything you need, without making you cry at the checkout counter.
Let’s discuss the detailed phone specifications of this budget-friendly beast.
Sleek Design and Vibrant Display
Want something sleek and stylish, go for Samsung Galaxy A24 4G. Besides offering you an aesthetic appearance this beast also assures you sturdiness, to prevent any hard jerk. It comes in a range of eye-catching colors to match your vibe.
But the real magic happens when you turn on the screen. This phone boasts a massive 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display that brings everything to life with stunning colors and sharp details. Whether you’re watching your favorite videos, getting lost in a game, or just browsing your social feed, the Galaxy A24 4G’s display will serve you at its best.
Imagine vibrant colors bursting out of the screen, and giving you the minor details in a way that you’ll feel like you can reach out and touch them. The game steps up when you run this little beast at a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, feels buttery smooth, without any annoying lag.
Bonus tip: AMOLED displays are also known for being more energy-efficient than LCDs, so you can enjoy this stunning picture without draining your battery as quickly.
Security features
Coming to the security and other connectivity features, A24 has still got the position. Let’s dive into what key design elements it is offering you.
Fingerprint sensor
Ditch the passwords and unlock your A24 with a lightning-fast fingerprint sensor built right into the power button (just like we experienced on other premium phones). Plus, this sensor is super accurate and never makes a mistake in recognizing its owner’s fingerprint.
Visual Proximity sensor
Unlike some budget phones, the A24’s virtual proximity sensor actually works. No more accidental screen touches during calls, thanks to this smart tech that knows when you’re holding the phone to your ear.
Other essentials
On the bottom, you’ve got all the essentials: a USB-C port for charging, a microphone for clear calls, a headphone jack for your favorite tunes, and even a single speaker. While stereo speakers would be sweet, the single speaker still pumps out decent sound for everyday use.
Processor and Performance
This pocket-sized powerhouse is packed with the smarts to handle whatever you throw at it. Inside, the 6-nanometer Helio G99 chip is like a team of multiple tiny brains, with 8 cores working together to keep things fast and smooth. Think two powerhouse sprinters (the Cortex-A76 cores) paired with six endurance champs (the Cortex-A55 cores) – they tackle demanding tasks effortlessly while saving battery for all-day play. Letting you multitask like a champ. No more waiting around for apps to load, you’ll be zipping between them seamlessly, whether you’re browsing the web, crushing intense games, or getting work done. It’s like having a mini power station in your pocket, offering you a smooth-like-butter experience.
Software Smoothness on a Budget
Coming to the software, it packs the latest Android 13 with One UI 5.1, which allows software updates including 4 years of Android upgrades and 5 years of security patches, that’s double what you get with most budget phones!
Speaking of cool features, the A24 comes with an always-on display (like those fancy flagships!) that you can customize according to your will. Need quick access to your favorite apps? Swipe in the Edge Panel. Want to level up your gaming? Dive into Game Launcher. For Multitasking, split Screen easily. Basically, most of the good features you see on pricier Samsung phones are here on the A24.
Storage
Whether you’re capturing stunning landscapes or a friend get-together, the Galaxy A24 has you covered. With multiple RAM options (4GB, 6GB, or 8GB) and 128GB of built-in storage, you’ll have plenty of space for all your memories. Need more? No problem! Insert a microSD card and expand your storage by a whopping terabyte.
Speaking of speed, I hardly experience such an amazing speed at a cost. Its storage is up to two times faster than some competitors, meaning apps load quicker, photos snap open, and you can download movies in a flash. Plus, compared to its predecessor, the A24 boasts a 5% speed boost in reading data, keeping things easy for users.
Camera capabilities
The Samsung Galaxy A24 4G rocks a triple-camera system that lets you capture epic shots, no matter what you’re into.
The main lens captures super clear, vibrant photos, so every detail shines. Besides, the ultrawide lens fits everyone (and everything) in the frame, perfect for capturing those unforgettable moments with your crew.
Plus, don’t forget the depth sensor adds a smooth, professional-looking blur to your background, making your picture more eye-catching. And that’s not all! The Galaxy A24 comes loaded with fun camera modes and features to give you the best photography experience. Think panoramas, night mode, even slow-motion.
