Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A03s technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A03s is for anyone seeking a basic Android phone with practical connections; its main trade-offs are weak performance and a display with low pixel density. Performance is worse than on most phones launched around the same time, and its 101,299-point AnTuTu result gives a concrete measure of that limitation. The 6.5-inch PLS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 270 ppi, lower pixel density than most phones of its time. Its 60 Hz refresh rate is among the lowest of that period.

This version pairs 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage; the Galaxy A03s is also sold in 4 GB / 32 GB and 4 GB / 64 GB configurations. Storage is expandable. Android 13 and two years of operating-system update support round out the software. The 13 MP rear main camera has lower resolution than most phones of its time, and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest; it has no optical image stabilization. The 5000 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 15 W charging is slower than on most phones of its time.

Connectivity includes dual Nano-SIM, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type-C and Bluetooth 5.0, alongside GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Its NeoScore is 4.0, and its overall standing is worse than most phones launched around the same time. It suits buyers who value essential features and familiar connections more than performance or more ambitious camera specifications.
