Author's Note: The Galaxy A15 5G and the Galaxy A25 5G come with some good features, including high-refresh-rate and high-resolution OLED screens. However, both phones use a very old-looking U-shaped notch on their screens, making them look dated from the front. However, if you value software update support more than looks, both are good phones for the price.
