Lousy product, low quality.

I’m very dissatisfied with the quality of Samsung’s service, and I’m also dissatisfied with the quality of the product of this company, if you know that there is a problem, why are you putting this product up for sale (I talked with an employee of the service center, he assured me that after flashing the phone, the problem leaves, it means they know about this problem), while I won’t write bad things about the store, but the sediment from the purchase in this particular store, specifically, was

Pros
  • The screen, the photo, holds a charge for a long time, but all these pluses are crossed out by one very big minus, about it below .
Cons
  • I bought it in Hong Kong (I was passing through), after a couple of days the speaker, which is located at the bottom of the case, stopped working (I didn’t notice right away), I decided to contact the service center located in my city, but the servicemen recommended that I contact the store right away, they say, in which case, they will they are obliged to change it, since 14 days have not yet passed and then it started . I called the store, they said that there were no problems, we would change it, but they would need to send it to them, they would receive it, make sure that there was a problem and either fix it with a flashing, or exchange on new. Sent. Reflashed, sent back . again Sdekom. I get it, I open it, there is a crack on the screen (I installed a protective glass immediately after purchase, if not for it, I think it would be worse, the crack is not big, the screen works, but I sent you a pancake to repair the speaker, the box is intact, I exclude transport from this list) of course I immediately call the store . Saturday evening, the girl operator asks to transfer all questions to Monday, but oh well, I treat this with understanding. On Monday evening, after several phone calls throughout the day, it turns out that someone accepted it and indicated that there was a crack on the screen . but they promise to find out if it happened to them or in the Samsung service where they sent the phone for flashing . The quality of Samsungs is now not what it was before . If initially the flashing is not the same, then something else is not right .

Good product, good quality, not bad.

Samsung works in general worse than redmi 8 pro. took it in hand, a month later, possessed from the speed of work. The phone is needed only for work, video viewing and communication. I do not play games. He would have 8 GB (there are such models) it would be better, and change the sensor. Photo quality and connection speed. top notch protocol! 4G catches no better and no worse than xiaomi Samsung OS takes some getting used to.

Pros
  • Pros: The camera is excellent: night photography is good. 4 to only 30 frames. 60 frames FHD only. stabilization (Crop): FHD 30 fps. Exposure in manual mode up to 10 sec. noise at a minimum at high ISO (3200) connection stability: communication, wi-fi, bluetooh. convenient some chips in the samsung system (for example, a non-extinguishing clock on the screen is convenient at night) reliable screen. the child threw a couple of times. nothing got scratched. convenient system of recognition of text on the photo (you can immediately copy or translate) convenient to enter data from the buffer. The keyboard itself offers to paste the copied. Decent sound It is convenient to make calls by swiping a contact to the left. or write sms-right. loud speaker, good sound. the microphone is excellent fast charging
Cons
  • For 6 GB, it's really slow. after redmi 8 pro (6 GB) it is 2 times slower. The under-screen finger sensor is terrible. no, unbearable. It's better not to use them at all. at what only 3 fingers are available to remember. when, logically, you need 4. the top menu and management with it is a glitch. Opened access to the functions from above, for example, clicked on bluetooth, it does not turn on. you press again. you ended up turning it off. the same with quick switching between windows or programs. late building. Budulnik is not convenient, I clicked to turn it off. it works again. sometimes the screen sensor requires a direct strong touch. battery 5000m. Ampere-however, in general, it lasts a maximum of 6 hours of screen time. when on gpc wifi bluetooh the function of closing applications is like on a strand android (you go to the menu. applications. you find, for example, Outlook. stop the application). incomprehensible settings with optimization. The application opens in the place where you closed it last time. it is not comfortable. one-hand control function is raw and clipped. (compared to xiaomi)

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

This smartphone has 4 cameras; main, wide-angle, telephoto, and for macro photography. Wide-angle did not test; moreover - not once in more than two years (my S10 also has one) has there been a practical need for it. The main camera has a 64 megapixel sensor, but almost always shoots in 16 megapixel mode (combining pixels by 4). You can force the 64MP mode on (this is in the menu item where the frame proportions are selected), but the result will most likely disappoint you (see the picture…

Pros
  • Took for my wife. Everything about this smartphone is great! Starting from the exterior; in the selected sky blue color, he is as beautiful as Apollo! The wife goes not overjoyed. A good screen, a capacious battery, sound, well, in general, some advantages. But she hitherto had a ZTE Blade V10 - also a good device. I tested his cameras, and was also delighted. In the vast majority of scenes, it shoots at least as well as my Samsung Galaxy S10, and this, for a moment, is the flagship of 2022, whose camera was recognized as the best that year. My favorite sharpness test is the moon face (see picture). For those wishing to repeat this test, let me remind you that the exposure should be the same as that of astronauts on the surface of the moon to shoot the surrounding landscapes. In the "auto" mode, this will not work, because. the moon will be hopelessly overexposed. You need to manually set the aperture (who has), sensitivity and shutter speed. In the attached picture, the shutter speed was 1/750 sec, and the sensitivity was at its minimum. My S10 outperforms this A72 only in extreme low light, such as when shooting landscapes in moonlight; but how often have you even seen such landscapes? In normal low light conditions (in a dimly lit room, for example, or on a city street), everything works fine.
Cons
  • 1) Disgusting instruction. I mean the "big" instruction in the form of a PDF file, which you need to download yourself from the manufacturer's website. Unfortunately, it is now even fashionable to write instructions in the style of "fuck off the boss, and choke on your instruction." However, the consumer still has many questions. 2) The charger is attached, it's good. The bad thing is that its output connector is not a full-sized USB, but a small type-C. Well, the cable, respectively, with two type-C at the ends, and there are no buses for data transfer in this cable. Otherwise, this cable could be used to connect two smartphones and transfer data, but alas - only charging. This cable and charger set is unique and not interchangeable with others, which is like a return to that wild era when each phone had its own unique charger, and God forbid it was lost or burned.

A good product, but having its own defects.

The purchase was very spontaneous - after another problem appeared on my LG V40 ref. And, despite all my dislike for Samsung for an eternity, I had to take the A72 - simply because there was nothing else on the market that met my criteria. And these are: at least ip67 moisture protection (required!), A high-quality Amoled screen with normal color reproduction and a normal set of cameras, always with a telephoto module (zoom at least 3X).

Pros
  • 1. WATERPROOF! 2. Design. Looks really interesting and stylish. The back cover is made of very high quality plastic, the assembly is at the highest level. The only thing that upsets is a plastic glossy frame, it could also be matte (ideally, metal in general). 3. Sound. He's very good here. This is my first smartphone with stereo - and to be honest, it's impressive. Watching videos on it is a pleasure. Even very heavy music, where there are many small details like the clang of cymbals or cardan shot, can be listened to with pleasure. The sound in the headphones is also very decent. 4. The screen, despite the lack of official declarations of HDR10 + compliance and full DCI-P3 coverage, seems to meet these standards. Having corrected the default (slightly acidic) profile, I got a very high-quality picture. 5. Cameras. I took the A72 just for the TV. The stock camera application is good, but it sharpens a lot + sometimes does not allow you to use the telephoto camera, making a digital zoom from the main module. But one has only to put a Google camera, as everything immediately becomes much better. The picture is voluminous, detailed, with natural color reproduction. Optical stabilization also makes itself felt - lubrication is much more difficult to obtain than without it. 6. The performance here is very decent, the interface is very rarely dull, it fully performs all the tasks assigned to it. 7. Interface. OneUI 3.1 turned out to be quite convenient, customizable and nimble. I really like that the device can be used with one hand - just by swiping the top elements to the middle of the screen. Unless, for some reason, you still can’t turn on the flashlight and record the screen when the charge is less than 5 percent (I hate the A20 for such jokes, the screen broke) - Samsung since the time of J2Me dialers likes to sculpt such idiotic restrictions, unfortunately. But otherwise, I am extremely pleased with the interface, especially if I roll GoodLock and dig a little. Probably even my next smartphone will also be Samsung, for the sake of this interface.
Cons
  • 1. A strange item, but . Vibration motor. This rattling farting scotona is a whole five-liter jar of tar in a barrel of honey. After a haptic on LG, he is very annoying. At first I thought that I would adapt, but no. As a result, I turned it off wherever possible and really miss the linear motor. 2. Case frame - I would like metal 3. This is not a drawback, just a Wishlist (which is unlikely to appear in this segment) - I really want a periscope 5x and higher zoom, like the "Ultra" line. Very straight.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Normal, ordinary phone. Lies comfortably in the hand. For the first time I bought equipment on the market (DoctorTechno). I liked it so much I went to the store. From the subway 5 minutes. Serve very quickly and politely.

Pros
  • Samsung A72 128gb. I bought a week ago instead of Samsung A5, which by the way is in working order, only the battery runs out quickly and there is not enough memory. By the way, this determined my choice between Samsung and Xiaomi. So the advantages: capacious battery (enough for two days); Camera. Clear photos, good zoom. In the evening and at dusk without noise. I haven’t figured out all the settings yet, but I clicked on a mode unknown to me (yet) and got a funny cute video. Very good smooth zoom. Screen. It reads clearly in the sun.
Cons
  • Haven't found out yet.

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

For a long time I did not want to take Samsung, although I use android from version 1.6. We came to the conclusion that there were no alternatives in the budget of 30 thousand (I took it for 29,400) I liked the phone, what can I say. Many people say about the back cover that it walks a little in the middle. Yes, this is true, but I also think that the phone should be more comfortable in the hand. The back cover is plastic, it lies wonderfully. Lagov did not notice.

Pros
  • - A good bright screen, does not strain the eyes, pleasant to the touch touch - Frame The camera is definitely a plus. The stabilizer works well, there are ultra slow motion video modes, many photo modes. - Big battery. Brought yesterday afternoon 70% at 3 o'clock. It's 9 a. M. the next day, stuck on him, 7% - The sound is something. - Dust and moisture protection. Didn't dip in the toilet - Convenient and nice interface. Similar to MIUI, but more accurate, or something - Samsung members support and service
Cons
  • - Long fingerprint unlock. Even Honor 9 lite is even faster - The pre-installed 2022 software is of course a waste :) it is removed easily, but neighing - No wireless charging, but it's more of a Wishlist

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

The smartphone was bought a couple of weeks ago. Now, in addition to it, 3 more are available: Huawei p30 pro for me, Samsung s21 and Honor 30 for my wife. In a word, there is something to compare with. I will consistently try to talk about the advantages and disadvantages. Display. Almost no complaints. I don’t feel PWM (PWM), because the frequency is high (https://youtu. Be/4YMrBcQt1MU). Assembly. There are no creaks or backlashes. Communication. There are no comments on voice communication…

Pros
  • Autonomy, display, photo on the rear cameras
Cons
  • Photo on the front camera

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Bought 8/256 to replace A71 6/128. A52 did not consider because. I'm used to the size 6.7". Impressions from Internet reviews are positive, real sensations are good, but not the best. The design is less premium and more youthful. Performance is not better. The A71 benchmarks on the 730th are even slightly higher than those of the A72 on the 720th qualcom. I don't feel any difference between 60 and 90 hertz. At 90Hz, it also lags sometimes. IP67 doesn't matter to me. I reassure myself with…

Pros
  • Decent middle class device. High quality workmanship.
Cons
  • Overpriced compared to the previous generation A71.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I use a month. For me, it's a great device. Performance is sure to be enough for those who are not going to play resource-intensive games, but even with them the smartphone copes without problems. But, this processor boasts excellent energy efficiency, and even with heavy applications, the smartphone almost does not heat up. Excellent autonomy covers any doubts about not the most "fresh" hardware. The set of cameras is universal, for all occasions: there are not enough stars from the sky, but…

Pros
  • - Screen: Juicy colors, normal resolution and brightness; - Autonomy: the phone is enough for two days of normal use; - A normal set of cameras, without useless plugs; - Modest and cute design, without gradients and colorful streaks; - Stability of work;
Cons
  • For me there are no cons. I chose according to my preference. Perhaps for some it will be a minus: - Moderate performance and far from top smartphone hardware. - The slowness of OneUi, which is easily configured through the developer menu. - Dimensions: the smartphone definitely needs to be "twisted" in the hands before buying.

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I've been using it for a month, no problems. The mass of the phone - I don’t know if this is a disadvantage or a minus. A good battery is always weighty, you need to be aware of this. The main thing is to get used to it, then it is not noticed. If you are NOT spoiled for expensive smartphones, you should LOVE the phone, especially after the Galaxy a10, a12, a22 and other lower models. I bought (420222022), not a single phone in stores had such a Zoom on the camera, up to 32tyr. There can be…

Pros
  • Most importantly, the quality of communication! - now I say, anywhere in the apartment! Good screen, bright colors. The camera is zoom! stabilization + I really liked the sound, clean and quite loud (not the loudest, no one can beat the stitched e398))) I have enough batteries for 2-3 days, I constantly listen to music via bluetooth on the radio, in headphones. I don’t play games. (Pubg only tested, everything is at the maximum, the flight is excellent)
Cons
  • Not a bright flashlight . On all old phones - brighter! (well, the diode could have been put more powerful, these are pennies) No wireless charging. (also a penny function, if they added - sales of s21 fell)

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I read a lot of reviews before buying. Initially, I tuned in to the A52, but then I leaned towards choosing this phone with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of memory. I have never noticed a single lag, flicker or anything else when using it. I do not rule out that they are in models with less RAM. Not in this model. In the event that Google services had not been closed for Chinese smartphones, I would have taken a Chinese with a much more interesting filling at the same price. But dancing with tambourines

Pros
  • Lovely phone Excellent cameras with stabilization / settings / post-processing Loud Large battery and fast charging Fits comfortably in the hand Bright and clear screen Nimble You can adjust absolutely everything for yourself (but this is rather the merit of Android) Moisture protection Very competent auto-brightness of the screen
Cons
  • A very meager delivery set - only a phone and a charger with a cable, a lock to open the SIM slot and a memory card. There is no protective film / glass and a bumper in the box - they are purchased separately. Long (relatively) fingerprint recognition. Even on the "Chinese" for 10 thousand, this option works instantly, but here it seems like it takes two seconds. It is inconvenient to take screenshots with a palm swipe. The traditional combination of power and sound down keys is not implemented here.

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Excellent phone, 8/256, 37k mts, everything suits, the flagship s20, s20 plus and s21 didn’t even stand next to each other . Only if s21 ultra but the price tag is 100k. them, not counting only night shots, but for everyday life it’s just a bomb. In general, I was delighted for three days, my emotions were overflowing, and even now, a week later, I'm still shocked by the autonomy and the screen with the camera. Personally, my opinion: you don’t need to spend that kind of money on flagships, and

Pros
  • Camera, autonomy, design, stereo sound, ip67, 90Hz.
Cons
  • Conversational speaker with better quality

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Has pros: The cameras are GOOD. There are no complaints about them at all. Autonomy is great. Two days of moderate work is guaranteed. With its cons. The frames around the screen were unpleasantly surprised. Thicker than the A70. The branded cover is also controversial.

The product is absolutely worthless, don't buy it.

This is the same A50 except that it costs twice as much. It has a pitifully thin body, through which the insides of the device can be inspected; however, this body naturally expands when the battery is charged. But may God bless him, in any event, the smartphone is used in conjunction with a case in which this shortcoming may be disguised; however, where can one hide the fact that the brand new A72 out of the box operates "no faster" than the jam-packed to the gills and brake A50? Not any…

Pros
  • Brand. External stereo speakers on a smartphone that produce a satisfying sound.
Cons
  • The A72 has a significant defect! Prepare yourself for a drawn-out tale. When I first purchased my Samsung A50 4/64 smartphone in 2022, I did not have any particular requirements or expectations for it at the time. It was a blind buy, purely based on the budget I had at the time, but the A50 astonished me so much for its price that it far above all of my wildest hopes many times over! However, after using it for a couple of years, I already started to miss its memory, the smartphone started to slow down and glitch, but I didn't want to delete anything from it, and then I really regretted that I didn't buy it with 6/128 memory when I first bought it because the A50 turned out to be a great smartphone! After much pain of decision, however, I decided to purchase an A72 8/256 since I had resigned myself to the reality that it is time for us to move on, and I also took into account the fact that it was my error to skimp on the total amount of memory that was available. I can guarantee you this much: I cannot think of anything that would be a bigger letdown! It's possible that my issue is due to the fact that I compare the A72 and the A50. Perhaps there is a psychological component to my happiness with the A50, from which I did not expect anything like this, but he gave me a lot, set against the backdrop of my total dissatisfaction with the A72, from which I expected a lot for its price, but got NOTHING from him!

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

Its pros: Good camera, nice shell, there is a direct feeling of "license" Cons: The processor is not enough, it lags. If the crop of whatsapp and insta does not happen, then it's normal. He pulls everything, but there are friezes, unpleasant sensations

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Got pros: I liked the camera, capacious battery, very fast charging is included, the sound is better than on s8 + Its cons: I haven’t found it yet, a small minus in comparison with S8 + there is no MST technology, but on the other hand, now cards are applied almost everywhere)

The perfect product for any user!

Purchased to replace an Asus that was five years old. Heaven, as well as the earth. I decided between models 6/128 and 8/256. In the end, I went with 8/256 because my computer has 8 GB of RAM. It's likely that a lot of that memory is redundant now. But when I purchased my old phone, 2 gigabytes of RAM was believed to be the industry norm; however, it stalls while moving between applications now. I have high hopes that this phone will last me just as long. Some pros: - Display that is both…
