Comments

The Samsung Galaxy A04s receives mixed reviews. While many appreciate its ease of use, lightweight design, good battery life, and generally good photo quality (although inconsistent) for the price, the severely limited storage space is a recurring and significant criticism. Performance issues, including slow app loading and occasional freezing, are also commonly cited. The lack of features such as screen recording and expandable storage is mentioned as a drawback. The device''s fragility is also a concern. Users with intensive usage or large media libraries are likely to find its capabilities insufficient. The lack of a charger in the box is also noted.
