I like the fact that Samsung keeps producing affordable smartphones for people despite the specifications aren't top noch and aren't the best like other smartphones but still as a student or a normal smartphone user like me, I am very appreciate it. I can use it daily to do works. I am not a heavy user gamer either and it is suitable for me.

[@matforsbon]

Agree!

[@noexplosionsnolife.296]

I agree with you, but where I live this phone's starts for 700 for the 64 storage paying high end\ premium midrange money for a budget cause I wouldn't say it's a midranger.

[@noexplosionsnolife.296]

@@ventilator2946 to tell you the truth your payingflagship money for almost everything's that's cheap, but the flagship in my country are the same as every one else the latest IPhone and Samsung's that's it we don't sell no other flagship besides that if it's another phone brand it's the midrange ones they buying such as the redmi note 10 pro and you paying 1000 for so yeah it's crazy where I live

[@orion1983uk]

We both have Galaxy S21s, but needed a second phone for the family to act as a spare etc. Based on the strength of your review, we got the A03s, which I'm typing this comment on now. I've been rocking it the last week just to test it out and, given the price, I am genuinely impressed with it. I would never have thought such a low budget smartphone could be this decent. The performance is much better than I expected and it actually feels like a quality product. I find it quite amusing when I'm using it with my Galaxy Bud Pros which cost considerably more. The only negative is the camera which is very poor in low light, but totally acceptable outside in the day time. If Samsung really do offer this with 4 years of support (in whatever form that comes) it really does make this an absolute bargain. Keep up the amazing reviews!

Can you tell me how the camera works ? Because I heard picture's aren't clear on this phone

[@lubnaali6814]

@@ShakeelAhmed-ju7qz The camera only serves the purpose, but it is not the best 😐 of course, because the phone is of the middle class

[@ShakeelAhmed-ju7qz]

@@lubnaali6814 Thank you for taking out time to reply in a little detail. Ok. I have understood what you have mentioned about this phone. Due to covid, my budget is tight. So was looking for a low cost phone. But my main criteria is a good camera. From which I should be able to click our Jewellery pics as we sell Jewellery online. And in online business photography is a back bone. Once again thank you very much.

[@lubnaali6814]

@@ShakeelAhmed-ju7qz I hope my answer helped you 😅 , ok I get it .. your business depends on photography .. The price of the phone is very suitable.. but I hope you try the camera yourself in the phone store before buying. It may be suitable for you.. so I used a Huawei phone with an excellent camera, so I noticed the difference immediately I love huge updates in Samsung phones, so I wanted to leave Huawei and start with an average phone At least it came with android 11 🤩🤩

[@ShakeelAhmed-ju7qz]

@@lubnaali6814 Yes, I agree with you that Huwai phones comes with good camera. But I don't like Huwai because it doesn't has Google Play. I kind of like Xiaomi phones too because of their camera. But they don't have any latest low cost phones available as of now. All their latest phones are of Mid or High range. So after doing thorough research I kind of like Samsung A03's. It's not only very latest phone but also comes with Android 11, as you too mentioned. Anyway once again thanks for taking out time to reply me. I wanted to reply you yesterday itself but by the time I reached home it was quite late.

I think I may have finally found a phone! Been checking out Xaomi/Redmi series but have been put off by the fact they seem full of bloatware and require hours of reconfiguring! Have also considered Oppo, but this model seems better and is pricing is a consideration. Don’t care about gaming or videos or selfies or netflix; just want a phone I can use some essential apps on. Thanks for this helpful review.

Same body as the M30s that I had bought in Korea 3 years ago. It's just a shame in North America that 32GB still sells but for power users, it's not enough memory. 64GB should be the minimum internal memory in all phones today !

I am wondering about the other parts, such as sound. I'm older and want to be able to hear and understand phone calls. Also, are there options as far as which phone numbers can ring thru if I only want a few people to be able to call me like at night. Are there choices on if the phone rings, vibrates, does both. Finally, how easy is it to figure out how to do things like texts and share saved pictures?

I lost my good old iPhone 6s Plus in a devastating accident; it was in my boat bag which I left on the back of my truck. The bag fell off about 7 miles later and was apparently hit and dragged down the road. I was able to recover about 6 pieces of the phone but only after it had been dragged down the road and run over. Nonetheless, I was only using this phone on my boat for my engine telemetry and for my WiFi Sonar system which displays depth information. I am considering this phone from Walmart to use in the same capacity. It will be mounted on the console above my steering wheel. I am not even sure I will need to purchase any cell service for it. What is your opinion of this phone to be utilized in the capacity I just mentioned? For the money, it really seems like a viable replacement.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A03s 4 days ago and yesterday was the first time that I opened the youtube app to watch some videos and I noticed that the quality of every single youtube video was low. I had to keep adjusting the quality of each video to the highest resolution. The quality is currently set on auto. I don't know if this is a youtube issue or the phone. Is anyone else experiencing this same problem?

I have this phone finaly, it is pretty incredible, with infinity v display, triple camera, and fingerprint scan. The price is kind of cheap, abously this phone is on 🔥

[@twohandsandaradio]

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.

i bought this phone 7 days ago for something like 200 euros and its good phone but also it does have those "mistakes" that can't be unseen for example the camera is the biggest problem i would say.I bought it literally in a rush and i didnt knew that the camera is 15 mp so i got a little bit disappointed but its still okay phone but at the end i wish i knew it had a low quality camera because i could buy a phone with better camera for that price.Battery is also not the greatest ever but still have those 5000 mp's

[@mattdavis9601]

Yeah; in order to save the planet, and save a few bucks, Samsung stopped shipping chargers with US market phones a couple of years ago. Interestingly, or not, the TracFone version bought from TracFone directly or from a brick and mortar store doesn't come with a charger. However; if you buy the TracFone Samsung A03s from QVC they specifically advertise it as coming with the charger, and showed one in their product video. I have an A03s on order from them that'll be here sometime next week, so, we'll see.
