Samsung A01 Review after 6 months! Camera/Battery/Gaming test/Cons/alternatives=Redmi 9A/Umidigi A7 By TechUtopia

Check it out, we have some super cheap, Samsung smartphone for 110 bucks ninjas. This is the best alternative to the Redmi nine, a and humidity a7, where you can buy it on a wireless place, very popular Amazon and eBay site, basically website they have their own wirelessplace. com site, which you can order smartphones adjust right now they have free two-day shipping for all orders, which is superb, superb, superb, superb, and you will have the buying links in the description and just buy it. Samsung Galaxy international unlocked fully unlocked. So, let's see here, what do we have? In the back box? The box looks cheap bro. It does look cheap, which version I'm having six gigabytes and a six gigabyte variant with two gigs of ram sweet.

Let's go do it! Okay! Here we go just we have some manuals. We don't have a case with this one. Unfortunately, we have a charging brick, which is a standard five volts brick. Let's see here yeah it is standard five volts brake. We have a micro, USB cable, since this device has a micro, USB, cable, a micro, USB port.

So it's micro, USB cable in white color. We have a pin and then just believe it or not. We have also Samsung headphones earphones, which example, humidity and Xiaomi smartphones do not offer that's super sweet. Yes, that is super sweet for 110 dollars anyway, uh, let's see here, let's put our hands on this cheap, Samsung smartphone. I think this is the cheapest Samsung smartphone that I ever reviewed on.

My channel stay tuned. Okay, just here we go the Samsung Galaxy a01. Let me just take this stand. You'll have the buying links in the description, also alternative smartphones, which you can buy. Like I already said, humidity and Samsung and Xiaomi devices are the best alternative to the galaxy a01.

Obviously you can immediately notice here the top three selling points of the uh zero one is infinity v display they call it infinity v display OCTA core chipsets, I'm getting 439 and dual cameras on the packages. So this is the three main selling points on this cheap Samsung smartphone in 2020. It was released six months ago and right now the price is even cheaper for ten dollars. I think so something like that anyway. So, regarding the build, what do we have? This is a very uh kind of I can say it's a thin device, since it does have a kind of we'd say it like.

This is a perfect device for people who want to have a mini compact, smartphone, humidity and Xiaomi devices. Don't have a 5.7-inch screen in just they are larger, they are larger devices anyway. What do we have here regarding the design 8.3 millimeter thickness? So it's its? Okay, it's okay, 168 grams, so it's a very light device. This is perfect for people who want to have a compact smartphone to use it with one hand constantly I'm one of them, I'm one of them ninjas. Anyway, we have a full 100 plastic body with this device, like you see by soft polycarbonate material on the back.

So let's see here, what do you have regarding the ports and buttons? We have power button on the right side, dual sim acceptable slot plus SD card, so ninja has three slots inside it: yes, beautiful micro, USB port and one microphone on the left side. We have volume rocker, we can see myself over here, and we have 3.5 millimeter phone jack with the galaxy an a01. Furthermore, we don't have a noise cancellation microphone. Furthermore, we have dual cameras on the back: yes, a burka mode and a main camera, and we have a speaker there on the back ninjas' speaker on the back beautiful and on the front. Furthermore, we have front selfie camera and the bezels itself for this price tag.

They are completely fine. Just the bottom. Bezel is a little thick. The side. Vessels are fine and the top fizzles are also fine.

This is neat just for the price tag. You get a nice compact, beautiful phone for this price tag and yes um you only BMG will offer you glass. Only IMG um DJ is more premium. Redmi 9a is the same, look basically the same design regarding the plastic body material. Let's continue next now, with the display review.

Okay, just here we go uh YouTube YouTube. Maximum resolution is obviously at the resolution 80 resolution of the screen of the smartphone 720p. This is 60fps mode. So, yes, I have to admit this is where this device will win over the Redmi 9a and AMDG okay yeah. Yet I didn't get the humidity a7, so I can't be sure, but this is a very bright colorful screen in jazz.

It has also decent viewing angles again, not the same as the other Samsung smartphones, which are two hundred three hundred dollars for sure. You can see myself immediately. You can see this ghosting here, uh the fade uh. I would say it like that fade con. It's not a calling just this is a TFT screen and an LCD IPS 5.7 inches. So it's a 5.7-inch screen love this size. I love the size of 5.5.7 inches for a display for one hand use. This is just so me so meaning just 19.5 with 9 aspect ratios, 720p resolution it has 301 PPI high density, so this is crazy. It has a higher density than the galaxy a21s.

Can you believe that that's crazy ninjas? Also, this device has a 720p screen, but it's larger. It's larger anyone. Just this is called infinity v display. Samsung has to do some with something with the marketing to make it wow anyway, capacitive screen 10 touch capacitive screens, and it's a multi-touch. So we're going to do now immediately a test here.

The split screen option, but before that, let's just test here the view uh, basically the brightness, the brightness here, the lowest brightness. Let me just go here and we can adjust. Oh my god, that's not was not even on the maximum brightness. Can we believe that check this out, so it is indeed ninjas? This is a super bright display. That's why many people probably get this one over the example Redmi 9a.

This is the minimum, the minimum that you can see. Let me just try to turn the lights off so for the night use, I would say that it's, okay, it's okay, energy. I wish that it's a little more dimmed. I wish just look at this at the night. Still very bright! Isn't it anyway? Let's continue next, I'm going to go with the split screen option.

Okay! Here we go I'm impressed because I'm honestly impressed uh. Maybe this device has two gigs of ram, but I'm impressed how good it behaves. Example on youtube and in split screen option. This is very, very cool uh. I don't think you can get this kind of performance, for example, with the humidity a7 immediate a5, with the hello p 20 p23.

This is very, very good, uh, basically smoothness. This is an OCTA core chip which we're going to talk just in a minute, but for now I'm completely satisfied with the split screen performance very fluid, very smooth, plus I'm having a 60fps video 1720p in the YouTube open in the back check this out. How smooth this the play store it is that is crazy, fast, okay and, of course, as a screen review. We also have to test the touch sensitivity. You can see myself, we have also keypad sounds you can disable them if you want, but the screen, the touch sensitivity is also superb ninja.

This is where uh I can see that uh. It can compete with the Xiaomi and humidity smartphones for this price tag. It is the screen display here it is on pair with them, and it's going to be difficult to choose which smartphone to get for a display, viewing experience, because a lot of people don't care that about gaming. Some people just want to have a perfect uh screen, which is super bright and good. With the touch sensitivity.

I do I do understand those people seriously anyway. Let's continue next check this out this beautiful wallpaper, where you can get it. It is the loop prime small ad for this company, for this brand check them out for the screening just for one to ten for this price tag, I'm giving it eight scoring jazz. It's really a good screen for this price. Okay, let's check right now the sound side of the of course here, uh Samsung 801 next volume, I'm just trying for the price tag, I'm giving it seven scored, uh, it's not allowed as the Redmi 9a or probably the dug a7, but it's a decent speaker.

It's a decent outer volume and decent uh. Basically quality. Like I said here, this is just decent, nothing to say to be impressed about it, so be normal, be normal with this smartphone right now and requirements from it. Isn't it and anyway, let's continue now with the let's check the 3.5 millimeter jack, how the sound sounds with the headphones: okay checking the headphones now max volume Atmos for the headphones, oh nice, so ninjas! This is where the uh Samsung will uh. Something will run a right now over the Redmi, Xiaomi and um.

The Chinese phones right now. This is very rare to find a Dolby Atmos, but it's only usable only for with the headphones and just remember that with the Bluetooth headphones earphones and it honestly, it's rich. The quality is very rich, but the loudness it's not on pair with the Xiaomi devices for sure for this price tag. Anyway, let's continue next so for now, like we say, we give seven score for the audio side of the Samsung. What else we have here with the Samsung? We should have here also the FM radio, let's check it out, Sam the head.

Basically, the FM radio just works, fine. What I love about the Samsung FM radio that it sorts easily found the top 10 FM radio stations. This is very cool. I love the FM radio app from the basically Samsung, and you can of course, use the play through speaker. Let's turn it off.

Okay, I recorded something with the voice app. Let's check it out, one two one two: this is the mic quality with the Samsung a01. My mouth is 40 centimeters away. My window is open. Let's check the noise cancellation.

Now I will shut up one two one two. This is the mic check quality. My mouth is just a few centimeters away check, check, check, galaxy, a01, okay, not pattern, just said the love to quality, my quality, the loudness is really on top there. I have to admit, but this what I'm seeing like something in the background I know, maybe it's catching a lot of the crickets outside. Maybe because of that, so the next cancellation is that that why? Because the noise cancellation microphone doesn't exist with this phone there's only one mic there, like you, see myself so again from 1 to 10 for the mic quality side, I'm going to get six and a half for the loudness, I'm getting at seven and a half, not bad.

Let's go next! So, let's begin with the performance, what do we have with the uh galaxy a01 in just so? We have a snapdragon 439 soc. This is an outscore chip, if you remember from Redmi 7 and Redmi 8 built on 12 millimeter chip technology clocked at two gigahertz, and it has also arena 505, which is a perfect decent GPU unit. Just it's a decent GPU anyway. We're gonna quickly now do some uh, basically speed test and then management test. Uh, I'm gonna here, open five different apps play store YouTube.

Okay, some of them is open and one was closed. Okay- and I will have here, subway surface open, so you can see myself here the speed also in the same time, this is only two gigs of ram. Remember that uh for 2020 standards. You should be able to run for five different apps in the background. That's it maximum! That's maximum! Here, at least with this Samsung software that we've seen in jazz, maybe with the other software.

Maybe you can get better and like android go. Maybe anyway, like you see myself here, reopening these apps, it's its! Okay! Just it's! Okay! It's not that smooth! But it's okay! Maybe if we close uh further, maybe if we close and leave three of them, we should have a faster uh or reopening and smoother experience. But for now this is just okay. For a three-year-old, soc beautiful, let's go now and show you just some benchmarks, so we have two gigs of ram and 30 16 gigs of storage. You do have also 32 gigabytes, ROM variant, and we have ladder ram type and the geek bench five.

Sorry for that I couldn't be able to run uh the an tutu. I don't know why I don't know what happened, but the an tutu should be around 95 000, yes around 95 000. , and this is the geek bench 5, which is super crazy, and this device supports white wine l1 for the Netflix HD quality. That is crazy, so you're going to get 720p HD here with the Netflix with this device. Can you believe that uh anyway, and also what it which is very, very cool that it has also Guam support? Yes, DRM is unlocked level three is unlocked, so you can use uh g cam with this device, since it doesn't have a night mode just anyway.

What else we can show you we're going to show you here, the sensors, what kind of sensors the galaxy a01 has, so we're going to go here to the sensors, and we have proximity light and accelerometer. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a gyroscope barometer or magnetometer magnetic gyroscope. It doesn't have it, it doesn't. Have it righted. Humidity a7 does have that thermals here with a regular use, like you see myself normal temperatures.

This is completely normal. The battery temperature is right now 37.6. So this is normal. We're gonna. I'm gonna also show you the temperatures uh, of course, with the gaming.

So stick around. You can pause this video if you're interested in all these information. I don't have time to talk all about them. Okay, okay, more about the Samsung a01. Just I did update it to the latest version.

This is right now updated to the latest version. We have android 10. , so yes, one UI core 2.0. We have 4g LTE support, b20 and b28. So this is a completely usable in all around the world.

Bluetooth 4.0 dual sim acceptable and it does have a Wi-Fi hotspot, which you can use of course later on. If you want to connect the mobile data and share it with your friends or with your family and resecurity patch is, from the July the 1st of July also fresh security patch. So you have a radio FM. We have a 3.5 millimeter for jack, tethering, VoLTE and OTA support with the Samsung a01 for not only just the performance, wise uh. We can say uh.

Yes, yes, and just you here, p uh, 20, hello, uh, g, uh, 30, halo, g25 and here g35 can compete with Samsung a01 right now, but you're gonna wait for my gaming test. Also, let's go next now. Okay, so now we're going to show you the face ID this device doesn't have a fingerprint sensor like the Redmi 9a, but humidity a7 does have it uh. Sorry for mentioning so many times give me DJ and read me, but I have to keep mentioning this, because this is one of the best alternatives to the uh. Of course.

Redmi 9a and ubga7 are the best alternatives to this device. Let's go now with face I'd okay, it takes a second. It takes a second, so uh, Redmi 9a offers faster face ID uh, unlocking the screen. Wake-up time is faster there. Anyway, it's decent, okay, I'm not saying it's super slow, but the Redmi and humidity will offer you faster speeds, with the unlocking.

Let's go next, what I can mention one con: it is the storage. This is six gigs of uh ROM, yes, and just but oh my god, ninjas you can have available around six gigabytes only yeah, it's crazy around six gigabytes only available with this device to use, so you will have to use a SD card, but installing game you can also do some trick to install the games on your SD card, but overall for people who want to have storage on your phone, it's better. If you pay 10 dollars more and get yourself the 32 gigs around version. Okay, let's go now with the battery now, so we have 3 000 image battery inside this smartphone. It has a really slow charging rating just since it has only five volts charger and that's the only technology that this device supports.

So you need just three hours and ten minutes to fully charge this device. That's a lot and just because Redmi example, Redmi 9a has a 5000 my battery, and you can charge that smartphone faster than this one, which has only three thousand so Redmi 9a will win there. Regarding the battery optimization in jazz screen on time with the gaming. Just in gaming, you can play three hours three hour maximum around three hour screen on time, average use moderate, huge. You usage, gaming and YouTube around five hours.

Redmi 9a easily can give you two times more of the juice for the gaming around five hours for the YouTube and a little of the gaming nine to ten hours. So right now, Redmi 9a wins the ninjas easily. I have to support again the Redmi 9a for you. So if you care about the battery go with the Redmi 9a, let's continue next time. Okay and now, just before showing you some camera samples and picture samples, I mean picture and video samples.

The phone selfie camera is five megapixels in just the back. Camera is 30 megapixel aperture of f 2.2, and we have a Buck portrait mode for the depth. Uh there, the death sensor in the sensor. It is two megapixels. This is two megapixels to have those Buck shots.

When you take light focus like you see WhatsApp, you can take life's focus uh. Let's just do it here with this. Do I have something smaller? I have this one. Let's check here. Can I take this one for you, a presentation, live presentation immediately, focus, okay, open it? Of course this works better.

If you just take a phone a little further, I mean or the object, so I could see myself not bad, not bad at all. It blurred everything in the background and kept this uh object in the focus beautiful I mean just so, let's go immediately. I don't want to bother you too much. Let's show you some camera samples, but please make sure to check my full camera view of this device on my YouTube channel. Thank you.

Okay, just this is the camera review of the Samsung Galaxy a01. After the all updates, you can see myself. This is the front selfie camera test exposure, and we will test also a bit of stability in just a minute. Of course, it doesn't have any video stability on the front. Probably super, super shaky testing here, the autofocus with the galaxy a01, not bad.

Sometimes it does it's not that quick, I have to admit, not accurate. If I can go like that, but not bad. It's cheap, fun! Okay, galaxy a01, handheld, finish video stability test beautiful me, the zero one, just Nintendo 439. This is medium settings repeat, this is medium settings. This is low and the chipset ninjas, of course- and it is playable, it is playable here on medium settings, sucker, it's very playable.

It's very valuable on low settings nice enabled here that neutral. I can see myself in with the neutral good frame rate. You can change here the camera and go changing the camera. Now change the camera again. Okay, and just my impressions for the end galaxy a01.

Is it worth buying spoil alert? In my opinion, I don't know why would you go over the galaxy a01 instead of the Redmi 9, a Redmi 9a or the Redmi 9 Redmi 9 ninjas is selling for 120 dollars, 3 gigs of ram and 32 gigs of storage. This one is 115 for 32, gigs of storage and two gigs of ram. So it's just five dollars cheaper. This one is five dollars, one expensive, and it's just like two times easily, two times three times better device than this one, a Redmi, nine, a Redmi Note, is selling for 90 dollars. So it's around ten dollars cheaper than this one and Redmi 9 any jazz, it's two times overall, better than this device.

But, let's just say right now: uh be a subjective objective. All together, let's go with the cons. This device has a small battery. Humidity, a7 and Redmi 9a have a bigger batterie than just also. This one has a super slow charging rates, three hours and ten minutes to charge a small 3000 my battery because it has a very slow charging and a break inside it is just five volts, uh plastic body, yes, plastic body, ninja timing.

DG a7 will give you uh basically glass, while the Redmi 9a also has a plastic, but the plastic body with the Redmi 9a just way better. Better. Looking and it just looks awesome- this one is just looking so cheap and so old. In my opinion, just this is kind of 2017 design. You have to admit that this 2000 2017 design seriously anyway continue next, no fingerprint sensor, Redmi uh um, DJ a7.

Has it Redmi nine a doesn't? Have it only two gigs of ram in jazz, most of the smartphones, most of the Chinese ninety-five percent of the Chinese smartphones for one hundred uh dollars. One hundred five dollars offer you three or four gigs of ram this one, only two gigs of ram no gyroscope with this device. There is no gyroscope with it, unfortunately, and what we said is yeah the face ID the screen, wake-up time for the face ID, it's slow, it's slowing just anyway the pros. What are the reasons to buy the galaxy a01? It's a great screen. Just this is a great screen.

It's a bright, it's good! It touches activity is amazing. Viewing angles are kind of okay, decent, but it's a good overall good uh screen for the viewing and basically pleasure for the viewing experience and for the gaming good cameras. Yes, this device has a good camera, stable cameras, optimized cameras, uh, and it does have a snappy sharp pictures on the back plus also has a separated, Buck portrait mode compact size. This is one of the reasons why people will buy the Samsung over the Redmi and humidity. Those phones have a large disk space.

This one has a compact uh display, 5.7 inches uh. Very light is also very lightning just because of the plastic body and everything in a small battery. It's super, super light and what we have decent soc snapdragon 439. This is a decent soc, ninjas uh you get around almost 100 000 points on an tutu, and it has arena 505. So you can play PUBG with the GFX tool with a decent frame rate, 4g LTE.

It has b20 and b28 and 2 plus 1 sim card support. So you can use two sim cards, NATO sim cards and SD card. In the same time, and just this, is it my own review for this device after six months, usually by yourself? What do you think about this review? Leave in the comment section? Your impressions, like I repeat, if you don't want to buy humidity or Xiaomi, you don't want just. Basically, you don't want to buy Xiaomi a device Chinese device. You want to go with the Samsung.

This is it ninja. This is the best offering right now for this price tag then go with it. The buying links will be in the description I said lemon. You.
