Pros of the Samsung Galaxy M07
Unprecedented Software Support: Samsung promises up to 6 years of security updates and 6 major Android OS upgrades (starting with Android 15), providing the best long-term value and future-proofing in the budget category.
Capable Mid-Range Processor: It features the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, which delivers solid and efficient performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming, making it one of the better performing chips in its price range.
Large Battery Capacity: The phone includes a large 5,000 mAh battery, ensuring excellent endurance and easily lasting a full day of typical usage.
Dedicated MicroSD Slot: Unlike many phones that use a hybrid slot, the Galaxy M07 features a dedicated microSD card slot alongside two Nano-SIM slots, allowing you to expand storage up to 2TB without sacrificing a SIM card.
IP54 Dust and Water Resistance: The device comes with an IP54 rating for dust and water protection, offering a basic level of durability against splashes and dust ingress, which is a good addition for a budget phone.
Cons of the Samsung Galaxy M07
Lower Resolution Display (HD+): The large 6.7-inch display is limited to HD+ (720x1600) resolution, which results in a lower pixel density (262 ppi), meaning the screen will look less sharp than Full HD+ displays.
PLS LCD Panel: It uses a PLS LCD panel instead of the superior Super AMOLED technology often found in other Samsung phones, leading to less vibrant colors and shallower blacks.
Slow Charging Speed (25W): The wired charging is capped at just 25W, which is slow for a 5,000 mAh battery and significantly slower than many competitors in the budget segment.
Outdated Display Notch: The screen uses an older waterdrop notch (Infinity-U) design for the front camera, which makes the display look less modern compared to punch-hole cutouts.
No 5G Connectivity: The phone is limited to 4G LTE (using the Helio G99), which means it cannot take advantage of the faster speeds and lower latency offered by 5G networks.
