If you’re looking for a phone priced at under Php 15k, don’t care about 5G connectivity BUT gives software updates a priority, Samsung MIGHT have a killer offering in the Philippines with the A24 and its Php 15k price tag.

What makes the Galaxy A24 insane is with software, as it is probably the MOST affordable phone in the Philippines to have wide software support–specifically 4 major Android updates and 5 years of security updates. If you don’t believe us, Samsung Vietnam has a press release emphasizing on that.

With this move, Samsung has set the standard for budget mid-range devices for software updates. On average, budget mid-range phones would get at most 2 major updates and 3 years of security updates–and the Galaxy A24 pushes that further.

At under Php 15k, the Galaxy A24 is a very interesting offering as it is one of the rare devices in its price segment to have OIS on its main camera. To further add to the incredible value it offers, the Galaxy A24 also has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90hz refresh rate. We don’t mind the notch and the side-mounted fingerprint scanner–getting BOTH an AMOLED display and OIS on the main camera at under Php 15k is already a steal–and it came from Samsung.

Other features of the Galaxy A24 includes a Helio G99 processor, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5000mAh battery with 25w charging.

The Galaxy A24 is priced at Php 14,990 in the Philippines for the 8GB/128GB variant.
