Samsung Galaxy A27 5G

Samsung’s Galaxy A27 has an IP65-rated design and is made of polycarbonate and glass. The smartphone gets a hole-punch AMOLED display which offers deep blacks and a fast 120Hz refresh rate. The high refresh rate isn't useful for gaming, but it does make the software interface look smoother.

The phone runs Samsung’s One UI 8.5, which offers a bunch of AI features and a smarter Bixby assistant. Samsung also offers excellent software support, committing to six years of OS and security updates.

Camera performance is generally quite poor. The primary camera struggles to capture decent daylight photos and doesn't impress in low light either. The downgraded ultrawide camera also performs poorly.

Battery life will get you through a day with light or casual use. But heavy users who are constantly on calls will see the phone die before they hit the sack. Charging is relatively fast.
