Troubleshooting

If you are having issues with the Samsung Galaxy A04s, visit the troubleshooting page to resolve common problems.

Background

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is a budget friendly smartphone with a 6.5 inch PLS LCD display. The display has HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The smartphone includes a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and face recognition. It also has a USB-C and headphone jack. The battery is non removable and can support 15W wired charging, and the phone has 32, 64, or 128GB of internal storage. This phone has a triple camera set up with a 50MP wide lens main camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.

This model was manufactured by Samsung Electronics and announced in August 2022. It was discontinued in January 2025, and software support for this model was also discontinued, with its final update in August 2026. The Samsung Galaxy A04s will now permanently remain on Android 14. The smartphone was available globally and targeted towards a budget conscious audience, with a price ranging from $120 to $200. This was one of the first devices to include a 90Hz refresh rate display and a 50MP camera at such an accessible price.

There are a few common issues with the Samsung Galaxy A04s, such as charging failures due to a flawed USB-C port, display failures (lines, flickering, etc), and overheating. While there are complaints about the smartphone's slow and laggy performance, consumers also praise the affordable price, reliability for everyday basics, and pretty good quality camera.

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is a part of the Galaxy A04 family, acting as one of the more premium options in the family due to its increased refresh rate, more advanced camera set up, and greater number of features. The Galaxy A04s replaced the Galaxy A03, which had a lower refresh rate, slower processor, and less advanced camera. The Galaxy A04s was replaced by the A05, which has a faster processor, larger display, faster charging (up from 15W to 25W), and an upgraded front camera (from 5MP to 8MP).

Identification

The Samsung Galaxy A04s comes in four colors: black, green, white, or copper. It is a smartphone with a plastic back, plastic frame, and glass front, and it has a triple rear camera setup, all aligned vertically on the left side of the phone (as viewed from the back). It weighs 195g and has the following dimensions: 6.48 x 3.02 x 0.36 in. The volume and power buttons are on the upper right side of the device, and 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port, microphone, and speaker. Unlike other models, the power button is elongated and flat because it doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The top of the phone also has a microphone (looks like a little point), and on the left is a long triple slot card tray. The model number is located on the lower back side of the device.
