Samsung has also refreshed its affordable smartphone portfolio in India to buckle up against Chinese rivals. The latest handset by the company for the budget Indian audience is the Galaxy A03 whose pricing was leaked just a few days ago. The newest member of the Galaxy A series phone has a sub Rs. 12,000 price tag and features like a Unisoc series processor and a TFT display.
Samsung Galaxy A03 Quick Specifications
The Galaxy A03 has been launched with a textured polycarbonate back with a squarish camera module on the upper left corner. The imaging setup has two sensors. The primary camera is a 48MP lens aided by an additional 2MP depth sensor. This is decent camera hardware for a sub Rs. 12,000 phone that has Samsung labeling. A larger primary sensor would aid with clear daylight shots, while the secondary sensor would help with added bokeh effects.
Moving upfront, the Galaxy A03 is packed with a TFT display that measures 6.5-inches and supports a basic 720 x 1600 pixels HD+ screen resolution. The panel sports a waterdrop notch and has a thick bezel profile. The chin is marginally thicker compared to the rest of the bezels. The dot notch houses a smaller 5MP sensor for selfies. This is one department where competitions get an edge with a bigger 8MP selfie snapper.
Samsung has packed the Galaxy A03 with the Unisoc T606 chipset. This octa-core budget processor is combined with 3GB/4GB RAM. The device features up to 64GB native storage capacity and also supports an expandable microSD card. This budget Samsung phone comes void of a physical fingerprint scanner. But the remaining security aspects such as pin and password protection along with Face Unlock are present.
The Samsung Galaxy A03 will ship with Android 11 OS. You will see a custom OneUI 3.0 interface on top. This smartphone is driven by a 5,000 mAh battery. The company hasn’t specified the charging speeds but that would likely be standard 10W.
