Samsung has launched a new phone in its budget smartphone segment. The 4G smartphone, named the Galaxy A07s, has been designed especially for customers moving from feature phones to smartphones or buying a smartphone for the first time. The company claims that its attractive price, large display and long-term software updates make it a good option for budget buyers.
The Samsung Galaxy A07s has currently been launched in Jordan. The base variant, with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, is priced at around Rs 15,000. The phone comes in three colour options: Black, Light Violet and Green.
On the display front, it has a 6.7-inch HD+ PLS LCD screen that supports a 90Hz refresh rate. According to the company, this makes scrolling social media, watching videos and everyday use smoother. The phone also has an IP54 rating for protection against dust and light water splashes, which can be considered a useful feature in this price range.
On the camera front, the phone has a 50MP main autofocus camera and a 2MP depth sensor on the back. There is an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. For power backup, the phone has a 5000mAh battery, which is expected to provide a full day's backup under normal use.
For performance, the Samsung Galaxy A07s comes with a MediaTek Helio G99+ chipset. The phone is available with 4GB RAM and up to 128GB of storage, and storage can be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card. This could benefit users who store large amounts of photos, videos, apps and other files.
The phone's biggest highlight is its software support. It runs One UI based on Android 16, and Samsung has promised six major OS updates for it. Budget segment phones typically get only two to three major OS updates, making the six updates promised for the Galaxy A07s significant for users who want to use the phone for a long time.
For budget buyers looking for a large display, a 5000mAh battery, more storage and long software support, this phone could be a decent option, especially for users moving from feature phones to smartphones. However, those looking for a high-resolution display, fast charging or strong gaming performance may need to look at other options in the same price range.
