The Samsung Galaxy A03, A03s, and A03 Core additions to Samsung's Galaxy A series smartphones were unveiled in late 2021, following the A02 several months prior. The 6.5-inch A03 has a 48MP primary camera, a 5MP selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery. The A03s and A03 Core are similar but cheaper versions.

Samsung Galaxy A03 Release Date

Samsung announced the Galaxy A03 on November 25, 2021. It became widely available between November 2021 and January 2022.

Samsung Galaxy A03 Price

The A03 is priced at $105, the A03s at $94, and the A03 Core at $66.

There are options for 2 GB, 3 GB, or 4 GB of RAM and storage as large as 128 GB. The Samsung Galaxy A03s maxes out at 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, while the A03 Core has one option: 32GB / 2GB RAM.

Samsung Galaxy A03 Specs and Hardware

The A03 is available in blue, black, and red, but specs might vary by market. The same 6.5-inch screen and 5,000mAh battery are used in all three editions.

If you compare the A02 with the A03, it's clear that there's been a significant improvement in the camera. The A02 has a 13MP primary camera, while the dual rear camera on the A03 is 48MP. The three phones use a 5MP front-facing camera.

The A03 Core, at least the version released in India, doesn't have OIS in the front or rear camera, doesn't support NFC and has fewer megapixels than the A03.

Samsung's A-series phones like this one have USB 2.0, so transfer speeds aren't as fast as higher-end phones that opt for USB 3.0, and there's no video output functionality.
