Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A03 Core 2 GB / 32 GB / Latin America / SM-A032M technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core suits people looking for a phone for basic tasks with a large display. This version has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, which is expandable, but its memory puts the hardware among the weakest of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 3.4, also among the lowest of that period.
The 6.5-inch PLS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Its 270 ppi density is lower than that of most phones of its time, while its 60 Hz refresh rate is among the weakest. At 211 g, it also weighs more than most phones from that period. Those are drawbacks for anyone who prioritizes a sharper display or a lighter phone.
The rear camera’s 8 MP resolution is among the lowest of its time. The 5000 mAh battery, by contrast, has typical capacity for phones from that period. Android 11, dual Nano-SIM support, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio round out a basic feature set. Overall, this is an entry-level phone with a typical battery capacity, but its display, camera and hardware weaknesses leave it among the weakest phones of its time. It makes the most sense for someone who wants basic features rather than stronger specifications.
