Does the Samsung Galaxy A02s support 5G networks?

No, the Galaxy A02s only supports 4G (LTE), 3G, and 2G networks. In 2026, this is sufficient for basic web browsing and calls.

Does this phone have NFC for contactless payments?

The SM-A025F model typically lacks NFC support, so it cannot be used for contactless payments with Google Wallet.

How long does the battery actually last?

Thanks to the energy-efficient processor and the 5000 mAh battery, the phone can easily last 1.5 to 2 days with normal use (calls, messages, news).

Can the storage capacity be expanded?

Yes, the phone has a dedicated microSD card slot that supports cards up to 1TB, without having to give up a second SIM card.

Is the phone suitable for gaming?

Only for very simple puzzle games (e.g., Sudoku, Candy Crush). More demanding 3D games (e.g., Roblox, PUBG) will not run smoothly.

Are headphones included in the package?

When purchased new, they might not have been included, and on the second-hand market, the device is usually sold without accessories, but the phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
