I’ve been doing mobile device management at my last company and we handed out whatever the latest a series was, to our coworkers, for especially the cost and security factor.
And with the A52 I think, they have become really really decent phones in my opinion, I really don’t know what the hell the writer is fumbling about.
I mean personally it’s not my favorite UI and I would take my pixel any day over it, but it worked so well and was so fluid, for a simple midrange phone. Again, not my cup of tea, but for someone like my mom or whoever just needs a phone for basic social media, calls, texts, decent camera and the web… This is perfectly fine. Now I’d still get her a pixel a series over it because the cam is just perfect imo, but if someone prefers Samsung UI, the a series is incredible.
Plus idk what their current state is but Dex might already be there? Or is coming soon? Judging by the latest Xcover that got it, which also just sports a midrange processor.
Understand I dislike Samsung devices because of the bloat and their wanting to be Apple for Android, so I’m a harsh critic of Samsung.
I’m someone who HAMMERS a phone. Screen is rarely off. I run hard sync jobs (Resilio and Syncthing) all day long, hundreds of apps, multiple simultaneous actions, “watching” PiP stream while copying files to my home NAS, and navigating. My phone never gets a break.
Years ago the S4 was OK, but it ate battery for me (combination of screen tech and Android version), form factor was great but the power wasn’t yet there, plus Samsung bloat.
My current preferred device is a 2018 Essential Ph1 running Lineage, rooted, with some kernel tweaks that make it blazing fast while minimizing battery consumption as best as can, for an IPS screen.
When my last Ph1 died I switched to this A505. Honestly not a bad phone at all. It can’t quite keep up with my abuse, which means 98% of users would find it a fine device.
The author of this article is an idiot, hypocrite, or something else. He should go back to digging ditches, though he probably can’t do that right either.
