Comes in a design on the back of the machine, Ambient Edge, a shiny plastic body. It looks dimensionally dazzling when exposed to light, has rounded edges and has a wavy surface. Feels like using a mobile phone with a price of ten thousand But the shine must be exchanged with a machine that is easily scratched by cat hair. And quite enough to stick with fingerprints But if using the case These things are not a problem.

But have to set the graphics to suit the device
ROV
The first game that we put to the test is ROV with all graphics settings set to maximum found to be able to play But there may be some frame rates (at around 45-50fps) during heavy effects if the graphics are adjusted down a bit. Will be able to play still and comfortably.
PUBG Moblie
For PUBG Moblie, the maximum graphics can only be adjusted to a balanced level. HD graphics are not supported. Support frame rate up to medium mode only. which would recommend to open it at good which is the lowest graphics value is better becauseDuring play, there are some twitching. If it is adjusted too high, it may not play well.
but in spite of this Samsung Galaxy A04 may not be able to play popular games like Genshin Impact.Because the 32GB ROM memory space is not enough to download games (but can support more microSD card) If anyone wants to watch the game review clip to see a clearer picture You can watch the clip below.
good quality camera Can shoot in any situation
rear camera
There are 2 rear cameras of the Samsung Galaxy A04: The main camera has a resolution of 50MP and the depth camera measures the depth of 2MP, which is considered to be good, sharp, able to store bright colors well.than expected Portrait mode, the face is clear after blur, the edge can be cut quite ok. But if there is an object that exceeds the face, it may cause the software to blur a bit. Night photos, noise may be a bit too much. But it wasn’t so dark that I couldn’t see anything.
In addition, the camera of The Samsung Galaxy A04 also supports digital zoom up to 10x. which in the near term such as x2 or x4 is considered good The details are still complete. not broken But if zooming further than that, then the blur will increase according to the zoom distance.
front camera
The Samsung Galaxy A04’s 5MP front-facing camera can take photos in 2 levels, both wide-angle and normal, with a beauty mode that can adjust smoothness. skin brightness Adjust the face structure to be slender. Can adjust the eyes to grow up Overall quality is acceptable at this price range. But what’s really wow isPortrait mode of the front camera that cuts the edges out smoothly.
video work
front camera and rear camera of The Samsung Galaxy A04 can shoot up to Full HD 1080p / 30fps and HD 720p / 30fps only, and there is no anti-shake mode. So it’s quite shaky if you walk down the foot. But even then, it can be used well if there is a need to hurry to pick it up. There’s also a Hyperlapse video mode to try and play around with.
Battery life
The 5,000 mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy A04 is very satisfying. We tested the battery by watching a Full HD 1080p 60fps clip on YouTube connected to Wi-Fi for approximately 2 hours with the screen on. And the speaker sound is at about 50%, the result appears that from 100% of the battery is reduced to 85% only, after which the device standby for another 12 hours, the battery is reduced a little, to about 81%, which is considered very good.
In the past, we also tested it with outdoor photography. Tested playing a little game on 90% battery after 2-3 days long standby without charging, found that The Samsung Galaxy A04 can standby for more than 3-4 days with half the battery life. Unfortunately, in this model there is no fast charging system. Due to the relatively large battery size, it takes a little longer to charge.
