It baffles me that the cheapest phone in Samsung's lineup this year has a headphone jack and expandable storage but the most exoensive one doesn't
Basically, if you pay less for your phone, you get more features. -- Jerry 2026

Why the hell does this ultra-cheap phone have 5 killer features that I actually want to see on my $1000 phone?
I have a theory about why features like headphone jacks and SD cards now mostly exist on budget phones. Being someone from Africa, I can tell you the reality of smartphone use here is very different from the US and Europe. A lot of people are primarily offline because data is expensive, so phones are heavily used for downloaded music, videos and file sharing. We even have shops dedicated to loading movies, music and other content onto customers’ SD cards. That’s why expandable storage and headphone jacks are still genuinely important features in these markets, while premium markets are easier to push toward cloud storage and wireless earbuds.

This phone has the same battery capacity as the $1000+ S26 Ultra. Wild
It's crazy to me how much things have changed in the past 20 years, a camera that could record 1080p video in the late 2000s for $95 would be insane, let alone everything else this can do
Wow. SD card slot and Headphone jack slot?! That alone is worth at least $95
last time i was this early she told me "thats it???"
Samsung sells alot of those A series phones and it's crazy!

Starting with the A15, they are shipped with a Super AMOLED screen. The A07 is a huge jump from the A06 as it now uses a Helio G99 processor and UFS storage. The A07 also has a 5G model, A07 5G which uses a Mediatek Dimensity Chipset.

Samsung Repair Technician here, these A Series phones are also some of the easier ones to repair, especially compared to the Z Series

Appalling that budget smartphones have more features (headphone jack and microSD slot) than premium ones. The tech industry has lost its friggin mind.
When an phone this cheap, can do what most users need it to do pretty well, you know we have reached 99% of the smartphone plateau.
