Samsung A Or Series

[silkman]

I need an upgrade on my old Xperia Z5 phone. Was looking at Samsung. I know the A series is a midrange spec phone and S series are top of the range. Is it better to buy a new A series older model S series. Budget around R7500
Thanks

Get the a31, a50 or a70 if you can find

have you considered Huawei...?

P30 lite
maybe even a P20 or even P20 pro...

Thanks guys
Haven't considered Huawei merely for the fear that Google apps may be discontinued on the devices later for whatever reason

My wife bought the dual sim A51 on Takealot. Very impressed by the device, especially considering the price. If you don't need (or want) the absolute newest and best, then consider this phone.

thanks. Hows the battery life? Is the phone a bit sluggish?

If you want updates for two years and a stock Android experience with an OK build quality (happy with my old Nokia 7 Plus), consider one of these:

* Nokia 7.2
* Nokia 6.2

In both cases you save a bit of dosh. The 7.2 has the same chipset as mine, and I can't say I have any complaints when it comes to performance. I don't game on my phone though.

Here is a comparison between the Experia Z5, the Samsung A51 and the Nokia 7.2: Kimovil Comparison

No, it doesn't feel sluggish at all. Battery life is decent, screen and camera are decent. So is the price.

Does the A51 have a separate SD card slot even with two SIM cards installed?

It looks like it - "dedicated slot"
