The A07 is at the bottom of the Samsung tier list. It is an ok device for light use, and it has 6 years left of updates.

The ZuPick verdict
2.7out of 5
ConsiderBest at value, weakest at performance.
This is a practical budget Samsung with long software support, a usable main camera and dependable battery life. But in a market where 5G and sharper displays are increasingly common, it gives up too much to stand out.
Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.Performance2.0
For basic use, the phone should handle calling, messaging, browsing and video without much trouble. But 4 GB RAM and eMMC storage limit multitasking and loading speeds, and being 4G only is a big weakness here.Camera3.0
The 50 MP main camera with autofocus and an f/1.8 lens is good enough for daylight shots and everyday photos. 1080p at 60 fps is a nice touch, but low-light results will be more limited and there is no optical stabilisation.Display2.5
The 90 Hz screen feels smoother than a basic 60 Hz panel, but the 720x1600 resolution is a clear compromise in this price range. On a 6.7-inch LCD, sharpness is only average for reading and video.Battery2.8
The 5000 mAh battery is standard for this category and should comfortably last a day for most people. 25W charging is usable, though not especially quick compared with stronger rivals.Value3.5
The price is fairly competitive, and Samsung's long update promise adds real long-term value. Even so, the 4G-only setup, HD+ display and slower storage make the package less compelling than the best buys around this budget.Price history

Pros & cons
What’s good
Long software support
Samsung is promising 6 years of OS and security updates, which is rare at this price. That gives the phone a much longer usable life than most budget options.
Reliable main camera
The 50 MP main camera with autofocus and an f/1.8 lens should do a good job in daylight. It is well suited to casual photos, documents and social media shots.
Slim and practical build
At 184 grams and 7.6 mm thick, it stays comfortable in hand for daily use. IP54 splash resistance and a side fingerprint sensor also add everyday convenience.
Decent everyday battery
The 5000 mAh battery is enough for a full day of regular use. 25W charging is also reasonably convenient for topping up.
What’s not
4G only connectivity
At ₹12447, missing 5G is a major drawback in this category. Many rivals now offer 5G as standard, so this phone feels less future-ready.
Low-resolution display
The 720x1600 screen is noticeably less sharp than Full HD rivals in this range. Text and video will look softer, especially on a 6.7-inch panel.
Slow storage performance
eMMC 5.1 storage is behind the UFS storage many competitors use. App installs, large file transfers and game loading will feel slower.

From Redditr/samsunggalaxyu/riansgarage · 2 mo ago
The A07 LTE is the lowest end Samsung phone. Considering its hardware, it's actually fairly decent. But compared to the Oppo A9, it may not be much different in day to day use.
r/samsunggalaxyu/riansgarage · 2 mo ago
But considering its price, it's not bad. I have the 64GB version as a testing device, and I find it usable. Just ensure apps like Facebook don't hog the notification, and try to uninstall as many unused apps as possible.

"Upgrading" from a 6 year old 100 dollar phone to 150 dollar new phone is not upgrade at all. It will literally have equally slow SOC. You are effectively buying a new battery and some extra years of support.
r/oneuiu/GenericNPC6969 · 2 mo ago
I have the same phone, only the 8GB variant. No issues for me, like its still smooth and doesnt lag where its not supposed to. I have tweaked some settings which may helped sustain performance.
r/samsunggalaxyu/ChocolateOk5948 · 3 mo ago
yeah the whole jio4gvoice app thing was only for those old mediatek phones that didn’t have real volte support. any samsung from like 2016 onward handles it natively your a07 should work fine just pop the sim in and make sure volte is toggled on in settings, no extra app needed
