About the Samsung Galaxy A04
The Samsung Galaxy A04 is the entry point to Samsung's phone range and it makes its priorities obvious: a big screen, a big battery and very little else. The 6.5-inch HD+ panel is only 60Hz and never looks especially crisp, but it is large enough that video and video calls are comfortable, which matters more to the audience this phone is aimed at than pixel density does. The 5,000mAh battery is where it earns its keep, regularly running past a full day and into a second for light users, and 15W charging at least means an overnight top-up is not the only option. The 50MP main camera is the headline number, though the small sensor behind it means results are decent in daylight and mediocre once the light drops. Notable omissions include a fingerprint reader and 5G, so unlocking is by face or PIN and data is 4G-only. Buying one in 2026 means accepting that its update window, four years of security patches from a late-2022 launch, is very nearly closed.

Samsung Galaxy A04 Specifications
Spec Scores
Under £200 Phones · 143 phones
- Helio P35
- Octa-core (4x2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.5 inches
- 720 x 1600 pixels
- LCD
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Triple camera setup
- 50 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
- 5 MP front camera
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
- 5,000 mAh
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
