4GB RAM is ok for a lower end Android phone like the A15. It is a 2024 phone so it will get at 4 years update from Samsung.
There are several tips discussed on other SD threads about how to "speed up" these phones (uninstalling unused apps, turning animation off in developer mode and setting RAMplus to zero).
The A15 is probably fine as a back up phone and you are not using multiple apps at the same time. At this low price on straight talk and unlock in 60 days, it is a good deal if you need a back up phone for cheap.

deal is long gone, sharing here to explain for other people

June 12-Oct 13 the free straight talk phone was the Moto G Power 2024 edition if you bought 1 month of silver service. Brand new phone (announced late March 2024) on the market, so new that some phones were not auto unlocking in August (60 days after) for Straight Talk forgot to install the unlock server on their end and thus people had complaints for their phones were not auto unlocking as they should. But by early September Straight Talk had fix this and phones were auto unlocking after 60 days again. My personal phone that I bought right before the sale ended should be unlocking in 32 days *so cross my fingers* (took a week and a half to ship the device, this is relevant for I am traveling in christmas so I need internet while traveling)

New Phone deal is the Samsung A15 5g above. �� Deal is good till Jan 5, 2025 aka a different 3 month period of this will be the straight talk phone on sale, free after 1 month service.

The A15 has less ram, and makes a horrible T-Mobile phone for it has the verizon 5g bands but not both of the two the 5g frequency bands T-Mobile uses (4g should still work though, and it has one of the two main 5g bands.) Frequency Bands for AT&T it has some of the 5g and 4g bands but not all that carrier uses, but also AT&T has a white list problem where only certain phone models work on AT&T and I do not know if this phone works on AT&T due to that whitelist or not.

Good Luck

4GB ram. Not worth it.

G power 2024 was way better deal.

Also OLED screen is garbage with PWM flicker.
So, tell us you parrotted something you read on the internet without telling us.

I'm using this (Tracone) phone right now, the screen looks great, there's no observable flicker at all.

The only real gripe so far is the audio processing on the mic cannot be changed, and filters out lots of sounds that are desired when e.g. video calling family.

4GB is plenty, it seems RAM snobs are popping up like moles in every thread lately. Next they will complain the RAM is not upgradeable, or that there's no HDMI.

If anyone owns this exact same device bought now or previously from StraightTalk confirm on the actual hardware specs (Processor, RAM, Storage). TIA

Any click-through cashback site that will work for this deal? Some cb sites calculate it on the phone cost, which in this case is $0.

I mean 4GB is plenty if you only have one app open but this phone is pretty slow regardless. I got it free from the Boost deal and Samsung's heavy software is not doing it any favors.

The Moto G Power is a significant upgrade in basically every regard, since the extra $100 in MSRP goes a long way. This is still good for "free" since that deal is expired.
