Samsung Galaxy M02 (Gray,3GB RAM, 32GB Storage)

Item is good

So I ordered this phone 20 days ago I guessAs i got a good exchange offer for my repaired handset i only paid 900.About the product-The screen quality is awesome at this price point, the battery is also promising, build quality is above average however it doesn’t offer fingerprint which is pretty basic even at this price.The main concern with this handset is the ram management on this one creates problem. The multitasking can’t be done fluently and yes it lags a bitTo me I purchased this handset for my 2.5 years old niece as she loves watching videos throughout the day. So for us it was a health purchase but for those who want to use this as a primary phone. Please increase your budget otherwise you will be irritated.

I am writing the review after use of about 1 day. I purchased it for my mother. She is very happy to have it. Aa she was earlier user of Samsung basic mobile and she used the mobile for about 6 years. So now she upgraded to smartphone of this brand because in her opinion Samsung mobiles are long lasting. In my opinion:-Display- 4.5/5Battery- 5/5Camera- 5/5Performance- 4/5Look- 4/5Value for money- 4.5/5Display is good and bright as usual Samsung display are always of better quality. Sound is not best but okay. Look is good but need improvement in back design as it seems to be a cheap plastic material. Battery has no complaints. Camera specially front camera is surprisingly good. But performance should be improved as somtime touch is less responsive.so if you are multitasker and heavy user of mobile then itz not for you. but keeping the price in mind 7299 rs for 3gb ram and 32 gb storage its a fair deal as you are attached to Samsung brand which is better than cheap chinese mobiles like Mi, Oppo, etcPlz don't forget to like if fou find my review helpful 👍

Update- so I have been using it for months now, get a scratch guard, screen can get easily scratched, about the performance, man it's disappointing, it soo laggy opening and closing tabs etc, I got a software update for Android 11 a week ago while other phones are getting 12, it is said this too is confirmed for Android 12, camera/video recording is fine or even good, guess this is the only phone in minimum price range with a macro camera, 2mp, should be atleast 3.2mp man..speaker is loud and nice, screen sharpness/colours too is good considering it's not amoLED. Very very laggy, will often get typo errors etc.Final verdict- if on a budget, or don't really care about using a phone and using it just for the sake of it(like me), then go for it, but lag/slow performance is an issue, though a tad bit better on 11, hope performance is better on Android 12.So I recieved the phone a few days back. And I will be using this phone as my primary phone. So I will keep this brief and almost to the point.Build quality- tacky looking, good, but can be improved for future budget phones. I got grey color, and it's not metallic, my mum says the rear looks like shahbadi floor tiles. Not an insult. Anyways I like it, but it's not metallic.Screen- personally, I am happy with it, touch feedback is nice too, but ofcourse not like 20k+ range phones.touch is very responsive in the calculator app.Battery- well 5000mah, good, it's quite more than necessary for me but good.Camera- macro camera- took a fair enough macro shot, 2mp. 3.2mp would have been a sweet spot in budget yet good quality. Front and main camera yet to test fully. Night time photos? Forget it. Honestly even most mid range phones don't fare well in night.Processor power- its not a powerful chip to begin with, but fine, I am going to manage with it. For others, the phone is a bit laggy/slow in some aspects..or most. Camera takes a good whole second or 2 to start, the viewfinder flow is not smooth and laggy/glitchy.but I like the wide and macro combination. SHOULD'VE BEEN 3.2MP :'(More apps= bit more lag while entering main menu. So the less no of apps, should suffice. I opened a bunch of apps, including 3 Google tabs in browser, and many apps, lag was not severe slowdown, but was a little slower than before or it's slow to begin with and didn't really have high expectations. Using the device care and/or restarting the phone did feel better and smoother, but took a good whole 7 to 10 seconds for the live wallpaper to load. Talking of wallpapers, even being samsing OneUI, there is no option for galaxy themes :(I am not gonna do any major gaming on this so I cannot say anything on it's regard, I prefer pc gaming. But don't expect much, however if you really want have a experience where you'd feel better/happy with the purchase, I'd suggest playing classic games like Mario, crash bandicoot etc. Some game suggestions- Dadish, alto.I will update this review after a week/months use. And finally a half/full year update.If you have a budget of atleast 10k then I'd suggest buying some other samsung product or your preference. I've used the m31s and compared to this, that phone is way smooth, and many more models out there. But if you want a entry level phone, or coming from a feature phone, budget constraints, secondary phone. Then this is the phone to go with. I personally like my m02 quite a bit.

The new Samsung product recently received is totally defective and on opening found batter bulged and phone not working at all. Service centre confirmed defective product but not ready to replace item or certify as defective. Companies like Samsung is not maintained quality. Be careful

But once after setup completed,restart the phone.Everything will get settled up.

Good
