Samsung quietly introduced its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A03 Core, without any prior announcement. This device falls into the category of affordable or “budget” smartphones.
While Samsung has not explicitly disclosed the chipset powering the phone, they mentioned it features an octa-core processor. Specifically, four cores operate at 1.6 GHz, and the remaining four run at 1.2 GHz. These clock speeds align with the Unisoc SC9863A chipset.
The Galaxy A03 Core is equipped with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (ROM). Additionally, the phone supports expandable storage through a microSD card slot, and it can accommodate two nano-SIM cards.
The front of the phone showcases a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD screen with a drop-shaped cutout at the top housing the 5 MP front camera sensor. Physical buttons, including the power key and volume key, are located on the right side of the device. Notably, the screen has relatively thick frames, especially at the bottom.
Flipping the phone over, you’ll find the camera module and LED flash. The back cover hosts the main 8 MP camera sensor in the upper left corner, accompanied by the LED flash below. Beneath the back cover lies a 5000 mAh battery that supports 10W charging.
