Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A03

74.6% Samsung Galaxy A03 Smartphone review - Inexpensive Galaxy with fast WLAN | Notebookcheck
The predecessor was a bit behind its time, but Samsung noticeably catches up in the low-priced phones segment with the Galaxy A03. Are the fast Wi-Fi and the new camera enough to really shake up the competition?
Samsung Galaxy A03 Review - A budget-friendly phone with features suitable for everyday use
Source: Tech Nave English
The Samsung Galaxy A03 provides a decent user experience for most people, especially those who simply expect the phone to do daily tasks. Compared to the Galaxy A03s, the Galaxy A03 offers faster performance, though it's not very noticeable. Serious users will probably notice the difference, especially when opening apps. However, one drawback to the Galaxy A03 is the micro-USB port, which I think should not be used nowadays. Ultimately, the choice is yours. For the price, I definitely recommend the Galaxy A03 as you will get a better value with the performance of the Unisoc T606. At RM469, it's also cheaper than the A03s (RM559). Other suitable alternatives for this phone include the vivo Y20 (RM459), realme Narzo 50i (RM449), OPPO A16 (RM479), and Redmi 9C (RM449). Are you interested in this smartphone? Share your thoughts in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more reviews like this.

Review – Samsung Galaxy A03
Source: NLT English
So, for the price of starting price of RM439, this is indeed a very capable phone. However, the RM469 variant only comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage – which I think is just way too little even though this phone has a microSD card slot. There is another variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage but it is priced at RM549. Still, I think for the price of RM549, it’s a decent price.

74% Samsung Galaxy A03 Review – Cheerfully Cheap Cruiser Tested
Source: Hitech Century English
The Samsung Galaxy A03 is an exemplary example of a budget phone with a large display and a huge battery along with the added bonus of a 3.5mm audio jack and expandable memory via a dedicated microSD card slot. For RM549, you’re getting a well built, affordable phone that is a solid shot across the bow for other budget phone vendors. The cheaper variant does look tempting but it’s well worth the extra outlay to get more RAM and storage. The Samsung Galaxy A03 epitomises the ideals of a budget phone with essential features that include a large display and long battery life with a fair performance to price ratio at a modest price tag.

Samsung Galaxy A03 Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Samsung Galaxy A03’s main selling point would be its long battery life and other in-between custom features. Also, you’re looking for a robust battery with decent performance, this phone might not even be a tough fight for the competition and the reason for this is the Samsung brand image. For example, if they launch a cheap phone on the Indian offline market, it will sell like crazy as it is a well-known brand. The same story also applies to other countries. But, we didn’t want our readers to waste their money on something when you can still consider alternative options that provide an exceptional features at a similar price point or a higher level. The Tecno Camon 18T is worth your money, but it costs a little more. But still, if you’re looking for something in Samsung, you have the Galaxy A03 core to check out.
