Out of all the phones I’ve bought, the Galaxy A25 has to be the most disappointing one. Samsung deliberately limits the Camera2 API, and it feels like an intentional move to hold back features that the hardware could potentially support. After finally deciding to give Samsung a try, this experience has left me completely let down.
Samsung may shine in their flagship models, but when it comes to the midrange segment, they really fall short. In fact, compared to other midrange brands, Samsung’s offerings feel underwhelming — almost as if they’re deliberately crippling the experience.
Yeah if i had known they set camera2 api limited on A series I shouldn't have bought in the first place. Also no, I dont need to buy samsung flagship phones just to have camera2 api fully enabled because it's just a default in other brands. It was just samsung who limited it.
Yes, don't expect even in the premium mid-range Galaxy. It's only for those people who want longer 4-7 years os software support, and the reason why they have FE versions.
Yeah, you're really right. A series is really for people who just want 4-7 years of OS updates. The FE versions are the only good deal among the non-flagship section.
