The Samsung Galaxy F04s is an affordable smartphone launched in October 2022, intended for everyday needs with respectable features. It is powered by the Samsung Exynos 850 chipset and backed by a big 5000 mAh battery for reliable performance. A triple camera setup and a 6.5-inch display make it one of the competitive choices for users who want an efficient yet affordable smartphone.
Hardware and Performance Overview
Processor and Chipset: In the Samsung Galaxy F04s, there is a chipset named Samsung Exynos 850 with an octa-core CPU clocked at 2 GHz. For the best performance in daily drives, it has 64-bit architecture and is fabricated on an 8nm process.
Graphics and RAM: Mali-G52 MP1 GPU will let the phone deliver decent graphical performance. It will support 4GB RAM for lag-free multitasking with no significant delays.
Storage: For storage, the device has provided 64 GB internally, expandable up to a monstrous 1 TB; this should guarantee ample room for apps, media, and files.
Display and Design
Display Quality: Indeed, the Galaxy F04s comes with a 6.5-inch PLS LCD display featuring HD+ resolution at 720×1600 pixels. While the pixel density of 270 ppi and a 90 Hz refresh rate should make things fairly smooth for it, once more it is not going to be the sharpest in its class.
Brightness and Build: The screen sports 400 nits of brightness, which translates to its having sufficient viewability under most lighting conditions. The back uses plastic and incorporates three color schemes; these are Black, Green, and Copper. It weighs 195 grams, which is on the heavier side of things, but the ergonomic dimensions of 164.7 x 76.7 x 9.1 mm make it comfortable to hold.
Camera Setup
Rear Cameras: The phone is enveloped with a triple-camera setup that consists of a 50 MP wide-angle primary lens, a 2 MP macro camera lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The camera also provides Digital Zoom, HDR mode, and Continuous Shooting with an image resolution of up to 8150 x 6150 pixels.
Front Camera: The Galaxy F04s has a single 5MP primary camera on the front. This is good enough for video calling and casual clicks; it doesn’t have features like autofocus or flash.
Video Recording: The rear camera arrangement could shoot at 1920×1080 pixels@30fps, which might be good enough for general video recording purposes.

Fast Charging: Besides this, it further supports 15W fast charging via a USB Type-C port for easy and quick battery top-ups.
Software and Connectivity
Operating System: Galaxy F04s runs Android v12 out of the box with Samsung’s One UI, featuring a clean and minimalistic layout, and comes with timely security patches.
Connectivity Options: This is a dual-SIM phone, but both SIM slots can enable 4G network connectivity. Other noticeable features include the presence of Bluetooth v5.0, Wi-Fi 5, and GPS with A-GPS and Glonass support. As expected, this is a 4G-capable device, and there’s no NFC or 5G connectivity option available.
Additional Features
Security: Galaxy F04s sports a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, promising quick and secure unlocking. Audio and Multimedia: It has a 3.5 mm audio jack with a loudspeaker, promising compatibility with wired headphones and decent sound output while consuming media.
