Galaxy A03 Core: Samsung’s cheap phone focused on the essentials with good battery life | Analysis / review

a Galaxy A03 Core It is the simplest recent Samsung release. Arrived in Brazil at the end of 2021 and is currently priced around R$600, is it worth the price?

The base Samsung device has an entire chassis made of hard plastic with a texture on the back that helps with grip. Its look is simple with no pop-up camera block, low notch and it doesn’t even come with a biometric reader. The edges are wide, but at a category level, with the bottom being three times as thick.

The screen is the same as the rest of the line with a 6.5-inch PLS LCD panel with HD resolution and 60Hz rate. The brightness level is decent, as is the viewing angle. As far as the picture quality is within expectations for a device for its price, the sound, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired; It became very distorted in most cases.

The chipset is the classic SC9863A from Unisoc which powers many entry-level models. The performance is not the best, and even with the Android Go version, the 2GB RAM is not enough to have a good multimedia experience. In gaming, the A03 Core can handle casual games well.

The 5000mAh battery lasts for a long time, which is one of the strongest points of the A03 Core. The 7.5W charger that comes in the box makes the battery take more than 3 hours to recharge and does not support fast charging.

There’s only one camera in the back that does the basics. It can take decent photos in open and well-lit places. The front end is similarly limited, so be patient with the A03 Core. The camcorder records in Full HD with both and captures somewhat muffled audio.

Is it worth buying the A03 Core? The price difference is small relative to the rest of the family, so it might be better to invest a little more. Now if your budget is tight, it might be a good option that pays little. For more details, just check out the full review below:
