Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A03 3 GB / 32 GB / Global / SM-A035F technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A03 suits people looking for a basic phone for everyday tasks who also want expandable storage. Its main trade-offs are performance worse than that of most phones of its time, a modest display, and slow charging. Overall, it stands worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.0.
The 6.5-inch PLS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Its 60 Hz refresh rate is among the lowest of its time, and its 270 ppi is worse than most. The 5,000 mAh battery is typical; 15 W charging, however, is slower than that of most phones of its time. The camera has a typical-for-its-time 48 MP resolution and f/1.8 aperture, and records video at 1080p and 30 fps.
This version pairs 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage. The Galaxy A03 is also sold in 4 GB / 64 GB and 4 GB / 128 GB configurations, and its storage is expandable. Dual Nano-SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack provide practical connection options. It is a basic choice for people who prioritize those features over competitive performance, a higher-density display, or faster charging.
