Samsung Galaxy A11 3 GB / 32 GB / Global / A115FD

The Samsung Galaxy A11 may suit someone looking for a basic phone, but its 4,000 mAh battery is below average and its 15 W charging is slower than on most phones of its time. The 6.4-inch display is another compromise: its 60 Hz refresh rate and 268 ppi are below those of most phones launched around the same time. That matters for anyone who puts smooth scrolling and display detail high on the list.

At 177 g and 8 mm thick, the phone is lighter and slimmer than most phones of its time. This version pairs 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage, and storage can be expanded with a card. The Galaxy A11 was also sold in 3 GB / 32 GB and 3 GB / 64 GB configurations. Its hardware is among the weakest of its time, while the camera is below average. The 13 MP main camera has no optical zoom; a 5 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Android 10, dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack and USB Type-C cover familiar basics.

With a NeoScore of 3.8, the Galaxy A11 makes most sense for someone who values a light, slim phone for basic tasks and can accept a modest display, a battery that falls short of many phones from its time, and particularly weak hardware.
