Overview

The Galaxy M04 is a budget phone from Samsung, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 42 (about $60) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.

Its main highlights: its large 5,000 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (13/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.

Performance-index rank: #219 of 342 Samsung phones we list.

Why consider it?

A month older than its sibling: launched in December 2022, and documented by Samsung in the same user manual that covers the A04e and F04. Samsung Support India keeps it on file as «Galaxy M04 (4 GB Memory)», model SM-M045F/DS, at an estimated ≈ 42.

Who it suits

Someone looking for the cheapest new Android phone from a large brand, who needs only calls, messages and a browser.

Who should look elsewhere

Not for selfie takers, not for anyone expecting fast charging or a sharp screen, and not for anyone who needs closely spaced security patches.

Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence

The Galaxy M04 is a December 2022 device, and that date is the key to reading it today. Samsung no longer sells or describes it: its sitemap returns no link for the model and direct product URLs return 404. Two things survive at the manufacturer. The first is a support page titled «Galaxy M04 (4 GB Memory)» for model SM-M045F/DS, carrying the user manual files — the newest of them a revision issued in 2024 under the shared SM-A04X_E045F_M045F filename, meaning Samsung kept updating this platform's documentation more than a year after launch. The second is the security-update page, which places the M04 in the quarterly bracket alongside the M05, M06 and M07, while the monthly bracket is reserved for the S series and the foldables. The practical difference is that a patch can take up to three months to arrive. The hardware, meanwhile, is a zone of silence: nothing at Samsung today about panel resolution, refresh rate, processor name or charger output. Our catalog records a 6.5-inch HD+ screen at 60Hz, a Helio P35, a 5000mAh battery, 15W charging and a 5MP front camera, and we present these as unverified figures. If they hold, the real shortfall in this class is not battery capacity but three other things: pixel density, motion smoothness and charging time. We have not tested the phone, and everything above is a reading of what Samsung publishes and of what it no longer publishes.

Alternatives worth comparing

  • Galaxy F04 — The direct twin: both models are covered by one user manual and carry the same estimated price (≈ 42), so choosing between them is a question of what you can find, not of specifications. (42 JOD · estimate)
  • iPhone 7 — A completely different trade for the same money (≈ 42): an Apple A10 and a sturdier build, against a 4.7-inch screen, a 1960mAh battery and a 2016 phone that no longer receives OS upgrades. (42 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›

Strengths and trade-offs in detail ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above

There is one reason to buy it: the smallest possible outlay for a new Android phone from a major brand at ≈ 42. The honest limit is that what you get for that money is not described by Samsung at all, and its security patches arrive every three months rather than every month.

Approximate ratings computed from the published specs (display type and refresh rate, cameras, battery and charging, and price vs. performance) — not lab tests.

What does that mean in plain words?

Chipset: Helio P35 — basic tier (13/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 5,000 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 15W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: IPS LCD HD+, 6.5-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 13+2 MP (2 lenses) plus a 5 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Samsung still lists it on its security-update page in September 2026, in the same bracket as the M05, M06 and M07 — phones years newer than it
  • Samsung Support India confirms the SM-M045F/DS model and the 4GB memory tier, so the name, the memory and the dual-SIM build come from the maker rather than a seller
  • The documentation is still being maintained: Samsung issued a fresh manual revision in 2024 under the shared SM-A04X_E045F_M045F file, more than a year after the phone shipped

Cons

  • Patches are quarterly, not monthly: up to three months can pass between security updates on a phone dating from December 2022
  • Samsung's site carries no spec table for this model at all today — no display line, no processor, no camera, no charging
  • Our catalog records HD+ at 60Hz, 15W charging and a 5MP front camera — precisely the three things that separate this class from the one above it, and not one of them can be verified

Articles mentioning this phone

Note: Unverified reference estimate (derived from launch pricing and comparable phones) — a starting point for negotiation, not a confirmed price. Specs come from official manufacturer announcements and the locally available variant may differ slightly; the indices are computed from specs and we have not tested the phone ourselves. USD equivalents use the official peg.
Specification ambiguity: Some spec fields on this page (battery_mah / charge_w, chip, product page / spec sheet, ram_gb, rear_cam / front_cam, screen_in / screen_type / refresh_hz) could not be matched to the manufacturer's own page — either the maker does not publish them, publishes a different figure, or the name covers more than one variant. Treat them as unconfirmed. Spotted an error? Let us know.
