Complete garbage waiting to die

published

I bought this A20 a few months ago and then it comes out with “moisture detected at charge port”. The phone has never ever been near anything wet etc . There is no way to charge the phone anymore and when I google this fault there are thousands of people with this fault. This fault will come even when nowhere near any moisture etc, for example people in the desert that haven’t had rain for years still get this fault.
I will never ever get anything made by Samsung ever again.

Purchased in November 2021 for $199.00.

I've been using this phone around a year. I do satisfy with this product. Affordable, working well. I highly recommend this product. I will get this product later on even though it goes bad.

Impressed

published

Ive never been a person to spend big money on a phone. I buy all my phone's out right and will never spend more than say 200 bucks. When I saw the a20 for sale for around that price I decided to go with it. And really is the best affordable smart phone money can buy. Plus it has the appearance of being a high end phone. So win win

Excellent especially if you have arthritis!

published

For many years I've always used a laptop as I found this more manageable than a computer however as years have gone on and despite smaller and lighter laptops I was really finding them more and more difficult to hold and transport. By chance I found the Samsung Galaxy A20 - not only was it cheaper than a laptop but it was substantially lighter too which has been fantastic as I suffer from really painful arthritis. The samsung pad is economical, easy to hold and easy to use. I've had to do a few workarounds as it's not quite the same as a laptop but it's overall miles better and does everything I need. I will definitely buy a new replacement once this one gets too old. Very impressed that's for sure!

Great for a while, starting to play up a little.

published

Phone was 5/5 stars for the first 6 months, could not fault it. However 6 months on & things starting to play up on it. Unlocks on its own every now and then in my pocket. Fake touches on the screen. Other than that, reliable and fairly solid!

An affordable phone with enough and more needed features!

published

The picture quality of the photos are good enough since it has 13 MP camera and 5 MP camera.(its dual camera). Selfi camera is not that gorgeous since 8 MP camera, yet its ok quality! also, most of the modern apps from playstore can be run using 3 GB ram and internal storage of 32GB . it has and 4000mAh battery last long for around one day with calls and fair usage of other application. overall satisfied with the price vs the features! (my brother bought it for me as a gift)

Excellent phone for price and super long battery life

published

My Samsung S7 got damaged at work so I bought this from JBhifi.I actually love this more than my 7 as the screen is much bigger and Im on the phone for nearly all day and when I get home Im still on 40% battery. Only thing its not really good for is night time photos. Ive never had it crash on me or had to reboot it

Lost my S7 edge on weekend, far prefer this

published

Purchased this Sunday from telstra after leaving my s7 edge in an uber and apart from having to setup, I actually like this phone better. Alot easier to use though of course not as fancy, but at 48yrs old I want ease of use not bangs and whistles.

not a bad choice for people out the who dont want to run a burner phone but cant get ridiculously expensive phones because they are always getting broken it has most of the applications you get with the bigger name but for half the price.

All one needs in a mobile for an incredibly affordable price

I simply wouldn't want any other mobile phone for my needs and at a truely great price. It looks like any of the very expensive mobiles. Happy with all core apps and all at $219 without the hassle of network locking and long contracts.

Works great for what I need

published

It's not the best phone but you can't expect much for the price. It does everything I need it to. Takes great photos. The main problem I have is the sound stays on in call or headphones and has to be restarted to get it working again. Apart from this issue I don't have any major issues with it. It just does everything I want it to do. Everything runs really well in the phone too.

Word processing

published

I find the word processing on texts VERY annoying. It doesn't remember words and seems to be u n able to predict obvious collocation.
The J20, although smaller, was better in that area.

Okay, i guess

published

The phone itself has a very smooth and luxurious finish to it. I use the phone for my everyday life, like gaming, reading it calling. After using it i came to the conclusion that although it has a big screen that is fun to use, it gets really laggy. Using the hungry jacks app is impossible because the amount of lag.

Do you live anywhere where there is moisture in the air Sandy? Maybe that is causing the moisture as opposed to water? If not then it could be a faulty A20 - maybe take it and the charger back to the store you originally bought it and see if they can help. Good luck.

Why is it always hard to hear people talking I the phone. Seem to only pick bits and pieces of conversation. Have a lot of calls that people say I'm dropping out but I can hear them

I use the A20 for Facebook messenger and its perfect, in fact its better than a mobile reception! Maybe coverage is sketchy in your area or your particular provider doesn't work well in that area?
