SamsungGalaxy A03s Android Smartphone, 6.5-inch Infinity-V HD+ Display, 3GB RAM and 32GB of expandable internal memory, 5,000 mAh battery, Black [UK Version]

Bought for my elderly mother to use to keep up to date with WhatsApp but the phone is so much more than that. Camera is great quality, screen is really good size and phone feels balanced when holding it in your hand. I was able to take off the apps mum won’t use and organise the home screen so easily for her to use. It’s a great phone and has so much more functionality than she needs, I really like the phone too- I am thinking it’s a good option for me once my iPhone starts to run down. Value for money compared to some of the other phones available is brilliant and it does everything that they do. It’s a brand that has a good reputation and was set up in a few minutes. Battery life is very good. All in all a great phone.

Well packaged and ready to be set up ,good phone reliable.

If you are looking for an economical phone to make phone calls, send texts and occasionally connect to the internet then this phone is for you. It is a recent release by one of the big names in mobile phones. The phone itself is stylish, fairly light in weight and easy to use. I bought this to replace a Honor Lite 9 because I needed the wi-fi calling feature, which the Honor didn't have. Looking at the specs it seemed I was getting a similar phone with the A03. In a sense I did, but I would say that the Honor is a more robust phone with no annoying glitches. Many reviewers have criticised the A03 for its built in camera. I agree. The camera is adequate if the light is good, but not brilliant otherwise. My outdoor shots are much better than the indoor ones. I find the camera is slow to react and the facilities are limited. The biometrics are a bit hit and miss. The finger print recognition is probably a bit more reliable than face recognition (which seems to be very much light dependent). I find myself using my PIN rather than waiting the twenty five seconds or so before biometric recognition can be repeated. A separate SD card is certainly needed with this phone as the internal memory is not great. The internal capacity is 32GB. My internal memory is 73% full (mostly operating system and apps). Some of the settings take a bit of navigation, but for those familiar with Samsung phones this shouldn't be a problem. The battery is pretty good. I find it can last for three days or so unless I'm using it a lot. The screen is large and clear and navigation is good. All things considered this is not a bad phone for the price. In retrospect I wish I had paid a bit more and got something with a better camera and greater internal capacity and RAM.

I am a bit of a tech snob and I will opt for the latest handset models and pay the premium for bragging rights, my preference is Samsung when it comes to my picks for mobiles, my latest purchase of the Samsung A03S was to take out some cost, why to pay the hundreds of pounds and enter into a contract @ £60 per month! for 24 months, for the latest models, do your math's lol. The A03S is stylish in design robust and well-made looks similar to the S20-21-22 @ a fraction of the cost of £ 115 + for an everyday mobile spot on. Great value for money. Big plus you can add all your apps, One downside is the mobile does not have the feature of wireless charging, therefore suggest investing in a (wireless charger receiver)With only 32Gb, therefore, purchase a memory card if you love photos.Gadget

Having managed to completely destroy my old phone, I needed a replacement quickly. Chose this one as it had all that I needed for a good price. Always have Samsung, this has good features, long battery life and you can also use it as a telephone! Some features I don't use ie fingerprint recognition (pin is good enough for me) and although the camera has three lenses I just use the basic one, but the functions are there if you want them. Nice size screen. My only downpoint is the on button. I was pressing the volume button to try and switch it on as I couldn't actually see the on button. It could do with being highlighted for old fogies like me. Apart from that, I would recommend.

Really slow to do anything, from starting up and opening apps to typing on the keyboard. I notice a serious lag when I'm trying to type and it won't even register what you type if you do it too fast. Switching between apps is sluggish and even unlocking the phone has a serious lag, the finger print takes so long to register, I end up pressing the button to see if it's even noticed my finger, this then triggers a response from the phone to lock the phone again the second it decides to open it.This was one of the cheapest phones with same day delivery, I could find that would suffice as a replacement when I accidently broke my other one. I don't recommend this device in the slightest but it has done it's job as a cheap replacement, even with it's faults. If you rely on using your phone for work or anything, I would just avoid, I find myself not looking at my phone as it is so slow and I would rather avoid it. As someone who does art and used his phone fairly frequently to not at all, this is why I would avoid it, if you're just after calls and texts, you can easily get a much cheaper device that would do the same job.Update, after use of over one month I completely regret my purchase of this device, how it's legal for them to sell devices that can't function with today's minium is ridiculous. I thought it might get better or ill get used to it but it has got even slower. Unlocking the phone can take upto 30 seconds, which might not seem much but with no indication of activity, you'll press the button to try and unlock the phone which just leads to it locking again once it decides to unlock. I haven't been getting important notifications promptly due to how slow and clunky the device is and it has been impossible to use completely. Just trying to open a simple app has become a task so tedious and long that I end up just throwing the phone back on the side and giving up with it. What's the point in the device if I can never actually use it for it's purpose? It's simply an unusable device that even struggles to make phone calls or make text messages.
