Review on Samsung Galaxy A72 (SM-A725M/DS) by Kristine Tay ᠌

- Wide diagonal for an amateur. Although I got used to it in a week, but after a month it no longer seems big. - In-screen fingerprint sensor. The main problem for me. It doesn't always unlock. Moreover, it unlocks perfectly on the index fingers, but not on the thumb. But mostly you can use your thumb. I rewrote the fingerprint several times, it does not help. And the minus of such a sensor is an always-on sensor that waits for a finger to be pressed. This means that if the phone is not locked for some reason, even with the screen turned off, it can turn on in your pocket and start typing SMS. You can try to lock it before putting it in your pocket by clicking on the lock icon, but even here it may not lock. If the face unlock works, the phone will immediately unlock. You have to turn the phone away from your face, click on the lock icon and then put it in your pocket. In general, this moment was not thought out by blocking. - The cameras are awful. Action scenes are almost impossible to capture. Switching between cameras with a delay, the reaction to the shooting button is also delayed. It is very strange to see this in a new phone. Samsung A5 2022 reacted even faster. - Combined microSD slot and 2 SIM cards. With such dimensions of the phone, it was possible to do 3 slots for everything. Further, the cons are rather firmware, and not a phone, but perhaps they are present only in Samsungs. - Applications are not unloaded from memory. It seems like the function of leaving applications to sleep is activated, but in a day you can go into the application you opened yesterday and continue working from the same place. On the one hand, it is convenient, on the other hand, it is annoying that it cannot be controlled. Whether this affects the operating time of the phone has not yet been understood. - No SMS filter by keywords, only by numbers. Spam is terribly annoying and now you have to download a third-party application to filter it. A trifle, but unpleasant.
