Galaxy AO4s performance

Powered by an entry-level Mediatek Helio P35 chip, it smoothly handles day-to-day activities such as social media use, multitasking, and light gaming. While its performance is considered average, the device excels in delivering a dependable experience for routine tasks.

A 6.5-inch PLS LCD display with a standard 60Hz refresh rate contributes to a visually satisfactory experience, particularly when enjoying content on platforms like YouTube with a maximum resolution of 1080p.

Design and display

The Galaxy A04s boasts a simple design, made of plastic. With a waterdrop notch on the front, the device weighs 192 grams, slightly heavier for those used to lighter devices but maintains comfort. The rear camera module protrudes modestly, and the bottom-left headphone jack placement may feel a bit awkward, especially during portrait mode gaming. 

The 6.5-inch PLS LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate delivers a warm tone, providing a decent visual experience for activities like YouTube, with a max resolution of 1080p. Overall, the Galaxy A04s strikes a balance between practical performance and a user-friendly design.
