Samsung Galaxy A90 5G Black PH-SAM-A90-5G-BK review

The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G is one of the most affordable 5G phones. It also has a decent amount of power, but its camera is enormously disappointing for the price, so only buy this if you value 5G over photography.
Pros:
  • Has 5G
  • High-end chipset
  • Big
  • bold screen
Cons:
  • Not good for night photography
  • Poor wide camera for the money
  • No zoom

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G review

The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G is a real test for the appeal of 5G versus a world-class camera. And having tried 5G across London, we think there’s currently more fun to be had with a killer multi-lens snapper than (occasionally) faster mobile internet. This phone looks and feels like an A-list phone, and runs like one too thanks to its ultra-high-end processor. But bits like the temperamental fingerprint scanner and B-grade cameras make us cringe when we’re spending nearly £700, 5G or not. Still, if 5G has become an obsession, this is one of the less bank balance-destroying ways to get started with it.
Pros:
  • It has 5G
  • Big, bold screen
  • Plenty of power
Cons:
  • Fingerprint scanner kinda sucks
  • Cameras are a way off the £650-plus standard
  • You may be disappointed by 5G right now
  • No headphone port

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G Black PH-SAM-A90-5G-BK review

The Galaxy A90 5G is the most affordable 5G phone yet in the UK (though only just), yet it still has it where it counts - except the camera

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G review

The A90 5G feels like a flagship in most of the ways that matter - slick design, fast specs, and a whopping big display - and the omissions mostly make sense too - wireless charging, waterproofing, and curved edges are the sort of nice-to-haves that most can live without. If your priority is getting a 5G phone and you don’t mind a slightly limited camera, the A90 is a solid and affordable-ish option. But if you can live with 4G for another couple of years, you can find better phones for less from other manufacturers.

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G Black PH-SAM-A90-5G-BK review

Want 5G but don't want to pay for the priciest of flagships? The A90 delivers top connectivity and flagship specs that are knocking on the door of affordable.
Pros:
  • Flagship spec includes 5G connectivity for a (relatively) affordable price
  • Large AMOLED screen keeps bezel to a minimal
  • Capable main 48MP camera (delivers 12MP by default)
  • All-day battery
Cons:
  • Feels a bit plasticky (even though it isn't)
  • Do you really need hard-to-come-by 5G yet?
  • Not the best low-light or wide-angle snaps
  • Battery could last longer
  • Some jaggies in certain content
