Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G 4 GB / 128 GB / International / SM-A156E technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G suits people looking for a balanced Android phone for streaming, dual-SIM use and 5G networks. Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, 396 ppi density and Always-On Display are the clearest reasons to consider it. NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack add practical flexibility.
The 50 MP main camera has autofocus and 2K video at 30 fps, while the 5 MP ultrawide camera covers a broader view. Optical image stabilization is absent, and the main camera’s 1/2.55-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. The display runs at 90 Hz, which is lower than most phones from the same period, although it combines that rate with 800 nits and 1080 × 2340 px resolution.
This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and storage can be expanded. The Galaxy A15 5G is also sold in 6 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB configurations. Its 5,000 mAh battery and 25 W charging are typical figures. The overall NeoScore is 5.6, a typical place among phones launched around the same time. It is a sensible fit for people who prioritize an AMOLED screen, 5G and expandable storage over faster refresh rates or optical stabilization.
