This Galaxy “A-series” phone is getting One UI 6.1 but the news isn’t all good

Samsung’s A-series mid-range Galaxy handsets usually provide good value for the money. These phones are powered by serviceable Dimensity and Exynos chipsets and have decent cameras and large batteries. Take the Galaxy A15 5G which was released last December with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1080 x 2340 FHD+ resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC under the hood.

The good news is that this phone is receiving One UI 6.1, but the bad news is that the fantastic Galaxy AI features that allow you to hold a phone conversation with someone who doesn’t speak your language, and read summaries of the websites you’re visiting, are not available to the Galaxy A15 5G. What the update adds to the Galaxy A15 5G is the ability to edit images using new options, customize the user interface to your liking, protect your data, share content, manage your health, and keep the phone’s battery from needing a premature replacement.
