About the Samsung Galaxy A04e
The Samsung Galaxy A04e sits at the very bottom of Samsung's range and is refreshingly honest about that. It is the cheapest route into One UI Core and Samsung's update policy, and for a first phone, a spare handset or a step up from an ageing feature phone it handles the basics without fuss. The 6.5-inch screen is generously sized but only HD+ at 60Hz, so text and video look noticeably soft next to anything from the Galaxy A16 or A17 generation, and the plastic body goes without a fingerprint reader. The 5,000mAh battery is the genuine strong point: paired with an undemanding low-resolution display it clears a full day easily and often stretches to two. The 13MP main camera is serviceable in daylight and falls apart quickly indoors. The thing worth weighing in 2026 is longevity. It launched on Android 12 with two OS upgrades and four years of security patches behind it, so its supported life is nearly done. Anyone who wants a phone that will still be patched in a few years should look at a newer entry-level Galaxy A instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Samsung Galaxy A04e worth buying?
The Samsung Galaxy A04e is worth considering only as a basic backup phone, a child's first handset or a low-demand daily driver where battery life matters more than anything else. Its 5,000mAh cell and light software load give it excellent endurance, but the HD+ 60Hz screen, 13MP camera and lack of fast charging are all clear compromises. Its four-year security window from a late-2022 launch is also close to expiring.
Does the Samsung Galaxy A04e have 5G?
No, the Samsung Galaxy A04e is a 4G LTE-only handset with no 5G support. On UK networks it will connect at 4G speeds, which is perfectly adequate for messaging, streaming and browsing but will not reach 5G data rates. If 5G matters to you, a newer entry-level Galaxy A model is the one to look at.
Does the Samsung Galaxy A04e have a headphone jack and expandable storage?
Yes to both. The Galaxy A04e keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired earphones work without an adapter, and it has a dedicated microSD slot for expanding the 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of built-in storage. On the 32GB version a memory card is close to essential once apps and photos build up.
How long does the Samsung Galaxy A04e battery last?
The Samsung Galaxy A04e routinely lasts a full day and often into a second for light users, thanks to a 5,000mAh battery driving only a 720p 60Hz screen. The trade-off is charging: there is no fast charging support, so a full top-up from empty takes several hours.
How long will the Samsung Galaxy A04e get software updates?
The Galaxy A04e launched on Android 12 with One UI Core 4.1 and was covered by two Android version upgrades plus four years of security patches from its late-2022 release. That means its security support runs out around late 2026, so it is best treated as a short-term or secondary phone rather than a long-term purchase.
What is the difference between the Samsung Galaxy A04e and the Galaxy A04?
The two are near-identical in size, screen and battery, but the Galaxy A04 has a much stronger 50MP main camera against the A04e's 13MP sensor and supports 15W fast charging, which the A04e does without entirely. The A04e is the cheaper, more basic of the pair and only makes sense if camera quality and charging speed genuinely do not matter to you.

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. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

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.
