Users have reported that its very bulky. In daily usage, lighter phones are very handy.

Yes, 220g is on the heavier side but not like you have other good Samsung options.

All other phones have announcement while recording a call, I think.

No AFAIK

Google doesn't allow it, might need to root phone. Samsung's system app does it in India, so not restricted by Google's general policies.

Now native call recording is available on iPhone for the first time ever… But it is with announcement… hopefully some app will bring it without announcement.

Is it really true? Does it support automatic call recording? or will have to press button to record? Samsung’s feature is excellent

Yeah you can do that also.
In motorola i have seen that i need to add each contact individually to record. this is very tiresome as we have 1000-1500 people in contact list

Purchased Samsung A15 for 15k for mother and got her old Moto G31 with me. Now I would like to know how to auto record all calls in the G31?

Why A15? Why not M15 for cheaper or M35 for the same price?
I just would like to know if I am missing anything.

It's getting rarer or at least that's the case among the phones I checked (phones priced around or under 15k). Poco M6 and Narzo 67 are the only two I know of have dedicated slots.

128GB space is enough for phones... for futuristic...at least 5 years?

I guess that depends on user. Today 4+128 is pretty common, if I remember right 5yrs ago 2+32 or 3+32 was common. I would expect in 5yrs we would be seeing more than 128gigs in base variants of mid to premium budget phones.

If I am buying today (actually I am looking) my filter would be (is) 5G, 6+128, priced <15k and boots Android 14.
I have narrowed down these 4
Samsung M15
Realme P1
CMF 1
Samsung M35

CMF is the most powerful phone there. 6GB RAM is ok for stock android & 2 OS updates is also fine. Considering the underpowered phones with 6GB RAM that Samsung sells with 4 OS updates, those will become laggy IMO after 2-3 years.

A15 weighs 200g while M15 & M35 weigh 217 & 222 grams respectively. When other specs are almost same in A15 vs M15 but Weight also matters as it will be used on every moment of the day by a senior citizen.

Why a series?
Reason well explained here.

with 6 generation of OS update which is impressive, hope they price similar to M15 when it comes to India.
