“The Galaxy A90 5G is one of the cheapest ways to take advantage of 5G networks aside from using Chinese imports. Since the smartphone makes an overall good impression and even offers a few unique advantages, we can recommend it to price-conscious 5G fans.”

“The A90 5G feels like a flagship in most of the ways that matter - slick design, fast specs, and a whopping big display - and the omissions mostly make sense too - wireless charging, waterproofing, and curved edges are the sort of nice-to-haves that most can live without. If your priority is getting a 5G phone and you don’t mind a slightly limited camera, the A90 is a solid and affordable-ish option.”

“The Galaxy A90 5G is a very competent 5G phone that ticks all the right boxes when it comes to hardware and functionality. The design is a little bland, but it has all the graphical grunt you’ll need to play the most demanding games on Android and the screen remains one of the best you’ll find on a phone this price. The camera isn’t industry leading, but it’ll do the job for most people.”

“This phone looks and feels like an A-list phone, and runs like one too thanks to its ultra-high-end processor. But bits like the temperamental fingerprint scanner and B-grade cameras make us cringe when we’re spending nearly ÂŁ700, 5G or not. Still, if 5G has become an obsession, this is one of the less bank balance-destroying ways to get started with it.”
