Samsung Galaxy A03s 90 Day Review! Is This Phone For You? (Honest Thoughts)

[@harrydaniels2788]

@TechDaily - I think they take away the SD card option for flagship phones is because flagship phones have 128 gb 256 gb and even 512 gb of space so I guess they figure with that much storage space you really don't need a SD card. I don't know really. That's just my opinion.

So as of August 2022 what would you consider to be the next level up upgrade to this phone? I am still using my Verizon Voyager which of course is a 3G phone and will be coming to an end soon. Would like to play some games, need to shoot day and night video and take pics so would like some decent storage or additional storage capacity, Doesn't need to be the fastest but as always I welcome any speed advantage there is with decent screen. It's funny I was told the Voyager was the original "smart" phone back when they launched it but I was never able to actually get the browser to work well enough to actually even do basic email tasks - like read and then actually respond to an email! It took great pics and video for it's day and could text like a mother with that awesome actual keyboard! Not to mention my monthly bill is dirt cheap to this very day under $65 even with my wife on my plan with her little flip phone. Verizon sent her the Orbic flip but it is not a good replacement for her existing flip so it is going back and I will probably get her the A03s which would be perfect for her. For me though I would need something a bit more robust preferably for some decent gaming, video and pic shooting, and storage / speed and smoothness under $500. Thanks for a Great Review!

Just bought this phone for $59. I own a landscape and property rehab company and break phones all the time so inexpensive pay as you go phones work best for my environment. Screen size is great. Takes long time to charge I noticed but once charged last a very long time. Camera is OK, typical really for cheaper phones but nothing that an app photo editor can't fix. Photo editing buttons kind of suck. They could use a update. I could pick it apart I guess but I knew I was only paying $59, and for that why complain? The video review I just watched paid $180 I paid well below that. It's good for the price and what I use it for. It's a disposal phone for me as It seems I break one a year while out working. People buy these $1000 IPhone or more expensive other brands and after they are done playing with it for the first week they are just using the same basic settings I am anyway. Except I don't have payments. If I damage or break it I just go buy another one.

Stuff like waterproofing did nothing for me when I put it into the washing machine accidentally and NFC was nice, but not necessary. That being said I think I would definitely miss the wide angle lens.... and the 2 megapixel macro is a complete annoying gimmick. I wish they'd put that money into a better product.

Is the ringtone loud enough to be heard and vibrations easily felt when you are in a crowded place. What are its options in receiving a call, like swipe, buttons. Some phones do "pocketcalling" because of accidentally being tapped by body heat inside pocket. does it happen here. I hope you include these aspects in your reviews. Overall, your reviews are all awesome. 👍👍👍

My honest thoughts... VERY frustrated with my A03s. Just got it. Found out Samsung doesn't include the power adapter. They seem to feel we all have them laying around and they don't need to send them anymore in order to save the planet. Well...not all of us have one that is USB "C". 3 hours with an extraordinary rude "Samsung Pro" all I will say is I will never buy another Samsung product again. I was very close yesterday to throwing it in the trash. But they can give you a link to buy one... That's like buying a car, paying for it and then hearing oh yes, the gas tank is optional. Selling a non working product out of the box for money is fraud in my eyes.

[@marydavis5234]

USB '"C"at Walmart are under $10.00

[@barrnyroyal1440]

ive herd bad reports on this phone. But i bought one anyhow. I love this phone, Im 58 and dont spend all day on my phone. Infact i have never used more than two gigs of data in a month. I only use gb if im fishing to check weather, check bank account, Or get on maps when traveling. For the average senior this phone is great and easy to use. Walmart had this for $49.99 that cant be beat.

I use to buy this Samsung & Moto budget phones. But with these Mediatek older range processers the phones with slow down & it is lag city within the first year. Got a LG G8x with 855 snapdragon, 6gb ram, 128 internal storage. 11.0 Android with Android 12 coming in the summer. Att send a security update across their G8x in January. $148 dollars for a mint phone on Swappa. A year warranty. None of the low end phones can match a 1or 2 year old flagship

[@lil_logan-4209]

I value internal storage I would be fine with 32gb and at least 4gb of ram and I also like my screens big and a good screen such as oled or amoled lcd is getting out of date for me I also value performance I use my galaxy a01 for some games and yes they do lag a little bit I miss my galaxy s8 it was actually pretty good.

[@TechDaily]

Maybe you could get an S9 or S10? Very reasonably priced now and still good for 2-3+ years at least

[@lil_logan-4209]

@@TechDaily yep I currently have a note 9 it is pretty good I have the base model with 128GB of internal storage and 6GB of ram its a lot better than my s8 that I traded it for lol.

Hey there TechDaily I'm looking for a great new phone to buy. I had the Moto One 5G Ace then the phone dropped and was broken then got the moto g pure and it's alot slower compared to the previous phone I had. Which phone would you recommend that's great on a budget with great call quality/reception and long battery life? Which is better Moto g pure, Samsung Galaxy a03s, Samsung Galaxy a13 4G lte?

[@thunderbirdsharrypotterfan]

Had one for 8/9 months, love this phone!

Is there any way to get a faster charging speed? I am thinking of getting the A03s for my dad to replace his 2G Nokia and i know my dad not going to like the almost 4 hours charging time

[@manwell235]

@Unorganized grabastic piece of amphibian sh!t. I got the A03s for my dad. There is a 7.8W charger included but i use my existing Samsung 15W charger instead. Charging time is about 3 hours from 10% to 100% and can last my dad 3 to 4 days bcos he only use for calls and messages.

[@thewryreport]

Thank you, I'm new to your channel - really appreciated your balanced review! Would love it if you could review the Moto G Pure (as I'm trying to decide between the Pure and the A03S). Which would you recommend (considering in Canada the Pure is $200 and A03S is $170)? Cheers, and keep up the great work!

Had too many accidents with expensive phones. Bought this, and it was fine. It was a workhorse until I dropped it in the yard while raining. The rain killed it as dead as road kill. Sad to see it go but it was a good two years.

[@garygullikson6349]

We just ordered two of these from QVC for $59.99, $5.99 shipping (each), including 1year Tracfone service, etc. Should be an upgrade from our LGL 158VL Android 7.0 Tracfones. Hope that activation with old phone numbers and transfer of minutes, etc, won't take hours.

[@DaveZiffer]

If you can run SmartSwitch on your old phone, you'll be amazed at how quickly it preserves all your data. Our old phones were LG Phoenix 2 phones from 2015 running Android 6, and SmartSwitch ran on them and preserved all our data from them in a matter of minutes.

Needing info for first-time smartphone buyer, purchased a Moto G Power 2021, it's very nice if you are a much more advanced user. So am going to this Samsung AO3s. It will not be used for games, texting, movies, or taking many photos. I JUST WANT A PHONE to carry for an emergency. But will use some of the features that only a smartphone can help me with. A mixed review as to whether this device comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack/port ? and charge Block & cable seems some do & some don't? These Company's just when to nickel & dime everyone! As far as PHONE quality goes for sound is it clear sounding? Any help, thanks.

[@mattdavis9601]

Samsung doesn't include a charger in US market versions of this phone (or any phone anymore); but, they do in some overseas markets. The factory 15W charger this should've came with is available on Amazon for $11 and Samsung's own website for $20; but, the one that came with your Motorola will work just as well. All of the A03s come with a headphone jack - which automatically makes them better than a $1000 Galaxy S.

The fingerprint sensor - is it a real button? Like, can I click on it and lock the phone? thank you

[@mdluk199]

Another great review. You're my go to phone reviewer for the more budget focused devices especially from Samsung. I used to buy flagships years back but honestly now days a budget phone like this does all I need so why spend more? I also strongly agree that Samsungs UI is the best for budget phones. Xiaomi give you way better specs on their devices but MIUI is very glitchy I find and I can't be bothered to customise it and tinker in the settings. Keep up the excellent reviews it's much appreciated - regards from the uk

It's Sept 2022 now and my phone was stolen and of last month by a guy I was friends with over 20+ years & was even in a band with him years ago but he got me. Anyway, though I always ask for insurance when I get new phones something happened here in our local MetroPCS/T-Mobile store where somehow my insurance was taken off my line but my wife's line I added has insurance.! Idk what happened but I got screwed. So, found a guy locally selling a used one of these for $40 imma get it tomorrow till I can get a better, more new phone but this phone starting to look good the more I do research on it! We'll see tomorrow hope it lasts me a while till I get a more newer, name brand phone this time.
