It lacks any form of portrait mode or depth effect in selfie shots
Compared to the regular A03 or A03S, you'll get much less phone with $50 more spent on either model

Samsung A03 Core

The Samsung A03 Core is the most budget-friendly option among the three variants, but its limitations are evident. It features a single 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and a minimalist camera app with limited features. In contrast, the regular A03 and A03s offer more impressive camera capabilities, including dual or triple lens setups, respectively. The latter two also come with additional features like portrait mode, night mode, and hyperlapse. While the A03 Core's selfie lens produced natural-looking results, its rear camera struggled to capture detailed images. When it comes to battery life, all three devices offer similar performance, lasting around two days under normal usage. However, the A03 Core with Android Go and limited app selection may provide slightly better battery efficiency. The regular A03 and A03s share a similar design, with the latter featuring a USB-C port, whereas the former retains the micro-USB port. The A03s also boasts an additional fingerprint sensor. In terms of specifications, the regular A03 outperforms the A03s in almost every aspect, except for its charging standard. Ultimately, the Samsung A03 Core is suitable for those on a tight budget who want a basic smartphone experience. However, for $50-100 more, users can upgrade to the regular A03 or A03s, which offer significantly better cameras and overall performance. The decision ultimately comes down to individual needs and preferences. The Samsung A03 series has become increasingly confusing due to its varied specifications and regional availability. As a result, potential buyers may find it challenging to make an informed decision.
