Galaxy A04s review: Slightly faster A04 sibling with a 90Hz display and Exynos 850.
Why pick the Galaxy A04s?
Samsung positions the A04s as the on-shelf alternative to Redmi 12C in emerging markets: a smoother 90Hz panel, a higher-resolution 50 MP main, and 15W charging make it a small but meaningful step over the A04 line.
