Hey everyone, welcome back to Manh Hao's Podcast!

Today, we’re diving in to explore different smartphone options again.

Let talk about the Samsung’s midrange lineup — the Galaxy A24 and its newer sibling, the Galaxy A25 5G. If you’ve been wondering whether the upgrade is really worth it, stay tuned, because we’re breaking it all down: design, performance, display, cameras, and of course — value for money.

Let’s start with the Galaxy A24. When it launched, it was one of Samsung’s best bang-for-buck phones — offering a solid 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, Full HD+ resolution, and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. You also got a big 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging and a reliable MediaTek Helio G99 chipset — great for daily use and some light gaming.

It was simple, elegant, and for most users, more than enough phone for the price.

But — Samsung wasn’t done yet.

Enter the Galaxy A25 5G, the successor that builds on everything the A24 did right, but takes things a step further.

First, let’s talk display — same size, same Full HD+ resolution, still Super AMOLED. But the difference? The A25 jumps to 120Hz, giving you an even smoother scrolling and gaming experience. If you’re big on fluid visuals, that’s an instant win.

Brightness is still excellent — up to 1000 nits — so outdoor visibility isn’t a problem on either model.

Now for the performance. This is where things really change.

The A24 runs on MediaTek’s Helio G99, which is solid but limited to 4G. The A25, on the other hand, upgrades to Samsung’s Exynos 1280 — not only faster and more efficient but also adds 5G support.

So if you’re in an area with 5G coverage, you’ll notice faster downloads, smoother streaming, and just overall better connectivity.

Both phones offer up to 8GB of RAM, and you can expand storage up to 1TB with a microSD card, which is always a plus.

Let’s move on to the cameras.

Samsung didn’t change much here — you’re still getting a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultrawide on the A24 (8MP on the A25), and a 2MP macro lens. The front camera remains 13MP, good enough for selfies and video calls.

The big difference? Both support OIS — optical image stabilization — but Samsung refined it slightly on the A25, giving you a little more stability when shooting in low light or while moving.

And the addition of stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos on the A25 really improves your entertainment experience. Watching movies or gaming just feels more immersive.

Battery life? Both pack the same 5000mAh battery and 25W fast charging. Realistically, both phones can easily last a full day or even two with moderate use.

So in daily life, you won’t feel much difference there — but the A25’s chip does make power use a bit more efficient.

Now, let’s talk about price and value.

The A24 is still an amazing deal if you’re on a tighter budget or if 4G is all you need. But if you want something that’s a bit more future-proof — with 5G, smoother performance, and that 120Hz display — the A25 5G is the clear winner.

Think of it this way: the A24 is great for students or anyone who just wants a reliable daily phone. The A25 is for those who want a bit more speed, smoother visuals, and better connectivity without going flagship.

And that’s our quick comparison of the Samsung A24 and Samsung A25!

If you’re upgrading, the A25 5G definitely brings enough improvements to justify the move — especially for gamers, streamers, or anyone planning to stick with their phone for the next few years.
