Samsung A02s Black

I got this model as not only was it not too expensive, but it also had a fairly good amount of space so I can have a few apps for work as well as some personal ones. The battery also lasts quite a while, so much better than my old phone. Putting in the sim card was quick and easy. The only issue which isn't really a big deal - is how big it is compared to my old phone, but once I got familiar with that, it is perfect. Also missing the fingerprint log in function but it is something you can live without. All 5 stars except for the fingerprint reader since it doesn't have one.

I have used this phone for a month or so now and am still impressed. Sure it doesn't have the bells & whistles of a premium phone but for this price it is a great value item. Whats Good .. latest version of Android (11), Price, Samsung software, good sized clear screen, proper dual sim capability and an SD card slot too, Headphone plug (with FM radio). Looks like a more premium phone. Good sized battery. The bad... Doesn't feel as premium as it looks, Cameras are disappointing, Despite Octa core CPU & reasonable memory it can be sluggish so not good for high spec gaming, no waterproofing or toughened screen.

As an affordable phone from Samsung, this really is a good choice. I have had minor issues with the memory card: also with the occasional cessation of the camera photo function - which can nevertheless be readily rectified. However these apart, I am on balance well pleased indeed with this model and would recommend it to readers as a worthy competitor and very good value in today's market.

Great for my mum.

Had a cheap slow phone for ages and my only criteria for my new phone was it had to be a Samsung. This was because over 20 years and many brands Samsung are the only one that has never broken or disappointed. Yet again so so happy the price is amazing for what you get. I've had a s20ultra when they released and cost £1200 so this at a 12th of the price wow. Yes it doesn't have all the gimmicks but at the end of the day that's all they were. So impressed I never write reviews but felt I should to encourage people to not get caught up in the its a grand it must be better crap. Buy it and see for yourself 🙂

Do not use face or finger print recognition. Purchase this phone on recommendation of my grandson, who is 11, he has the same one. It was easy to set up, and straightforward to use. Already used a smartphone this was a upgrade for me. I really like how easy it is to use, as a "oldie" as my grandson says. I don't use all the apps, like Spotify and tik tok, or use it to play games as my grandchildren do, but the apps I do use were easy to install. I am really glad that I purchased this phone and would recommend it .

I haven't used the face recognition, this phone is for my husband to use; his very first smart phone. I didn't want to complicate things too much for him, he's more than happy with a pin to unlock the phone, and to be honest when he gets home from the allotment I have trouble recognising his face if it's been a busy day! There is no fingerprint sensor on it, so that gets a one star too ( not because I don't like the phone for that reason, but because I can't post a review if I don't give at least one star; even though the phone doesn't have that facility 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️) Brilliant for my husband I have set the font to large so he can see it easily and it works well for him.

Did not come boxed Only bubble wrap. Device is not in the condition expected. When turned on the device has not been reset to factory default. So no prompts on configuring the phone. If your not tech savay this will present a major challenge. Once turned on the app icons are not displaying the correct brand icon for each app. A number of them have the Android OS (Operrating System) icon meaning there are problems with the OS lodaing apps. I am a keen global upcycler. Unfortunately the quality and attention to detail of this item is not as expected. Be away if you purchase a device from this seller you will need to pay for the return of the device.
