Hello everyone, I'm Ihsan, in this video we will see a review of the Samsung Galaxy A03s.
This is a very interesting and affordable phone, because even though it uses One UI core version,
but, it already supports various good lock modules.
For those of you who don't know what is good lock, good lock is an additional application for Samsung phones
that can be used to customize looks and add some new features on Samsung phones.
So, you can change the color and the appearance of the notification panel, task changer,
and the display of pop-up folders on the homescreen and also the clock display on the lockscreen
and there are also many other things that you can change with this goodlock module.
It becomes quite interesting in this series because previously
the good lock features is not available on Samsung phones at price below $200 with One UI Core.
and this Samsung Galaxy A03s is the first phone that support goodlock
at a fairly affordable price only around $150
and the cool thing is that all the good lock features that we tried can also run smoothly on this phone.
in the previous series, even on $300-$400 smartphone, such as M51 series,
unfortunately, so far it doesn't support good lock, but hopefully later this good lock feature
can support other series that currently don't support goodlock on the next software updates.
hopefully this is a positive signal that can give hope to other series,
which so far have not been supported with the good lock feature, especially for the M series at $300-$400 price range
such as the M51 series, so hopefully in the future this feature can run in various series with One UI Core as well.
Then besides it already support good lock feature.
This Samsung Galaxy A03s also carries a design that is quite similar to the previous A02s series.
Samsung Galaxy A03s design looks attractive for a $150 smartphone
it comes with a curved design on the back. The size is also not too big and not too compact either,
it's about 164.2 x 75.9 millimeters,
the dimensions are almost the same as the S21+ series
that i usually use as daily drivers,
the back case material is made of polycarbonate plastic material with
slight texture that makes it not slippery and doesn’t leave
fingerprint mark
Then for the screen, even though the screen specifications doesn't come with anything special,
but in our opinion, the display is enough for the price offered.
at a price around $150, we already get a wide screen with a notch-style front camera design and a screen-to-body ratio 81.8%,
then the position of the speaker on Samsung A03s is at the bottom with a USB type-C and a 3.5mm jack on its side.
at the top there is only a microphone hole and on the left there are 2 Nano SIM card slots and 1 Micro SD slot.
the volume button is on the right side next to
the power button which is integrated directly with the fingerprint
the fingerprint sensor on our phone had some issues at first,
But then after getting the software update, it become usable and responsive as usual
for the speed of the fingerprint sensor in this smartphone is already fast and accurate
for $150 phone.
for performance, this $150 phone is pretty standard
with a 12nm MediaTek Helio P35 processor
for sensors available, considering this is a $150 phone,
so of course there are many sensors that are not available on A03s series.
In addition to temperature and pressure sensors which are not available,
the magnetic, gyroscope and orientation sensors are also not available in this series,
but uniquely, the light sensor is already available right here
The Antutu score on this device is only around 102687.
but for standard use, it is already good enough for everyday usage
however, for playing heavy games, we can't expect much on $150 phones like this.
when we try to play PUBG games on this phone, the graphics settings can only be set at smooth - medium
or maximum, only at balance - medium.
The gameplay is not smooth and too much frame drop,
it's very difficult to play fast and competitive on this phone.
However, maybe for some people. it's already enough to just play games for fun and not too competitive with friends
or maybe you can also play other games that are not too heavy.
because of course we can't get and expect too much
on this $150 phones like this.
in the box when purchasing we get a sim card tray ejector
manual book, type-A to type-C cable, and the charger adapter which is still 7.5 Watts only
for charging the Samsung A03s phone, it actually supports a maximum of 15 Watt fast charging.
Even though in the box we only get a 7.5 Watt charger only.
For the connectivity, this phone comes with Bluetooth 5.0 version and 4G connection.
For the UI or software on this phone it uses One UI core 3.1 version with Android 11
there are many features that are already available on this phone, like there is a Dolby Atmos feature,
there is also a Google discover feature on the home screen , then it also comes with edge panel and edge lighting features.
and it also supports full-screen gestures and one-hand operation+
So you can already use full-screen gestures and swipe from the edge of the screen on this smartphone
you can also use the fingerprint sensor
to open the notification panel from the power button.
for the rear camera, it uses a camera with a resolution of 13MP with F/2.2
then there is also a macro and depth sensor lens , each with a resolution of 2 MP with F 2.4
for video recording on this rear camera
you can record with a maximum resolution of 1080p 30fps,
the front camera comes with 5MP resolution camera with F/2.2
and video recording on the front camera can also be at maximum 1080p 30fps resolution
for camera features other than photo and video modes there are also portrait mode, deco pic,
then there are also pro, panorama, food, macro and hyperlapse features.
Here are some sample photos of this Samsung A03s.
so, to conclude, the advantages of this phone are the price which is very affordable
then the back design also looks attractive and doesn't really look like $150 smartphone.
then this phone also already uses USB type-C
and the SIM card tray also supports Dual Nano SIM and Micro SD card dedicated.
Then the battery is also large for $150, it comes 5000mAh battery capacity
and also the coolest features is that it already supports Good Lock even though this phone comes at $150 only
and still uses One UI Core version.
this is a cool and quite rare thing that we find in this Samsung Galaxy A03s series.
and the drawback in this Samsung Galaxy A03s series is that the screen resolution is not yet FHD and not AMOLED
and is still using the One UI Core version.
However, even though it uses One UI Core, this phone already supports good lock.
So, maybe this is not become a drawback anymore.
and from all the features, the advantages and the disadvantages of this Samsung Galaxy A03s.
Is this phone still recommended for you to have?
the answer is Yes. Because this phone is a very easy to recommend at $150 price range
Moreover, this phone also comes with features that were previously available in the A02s series
and in the A03s series it also comes with an additional feature that is quite important, which is the fingerprint sensor feature.
Besides, this phone also supports good lock which is a pretty cool features
at a fairly affordable price, only $150.
this is a very cool and special thing on this phone.
and we have never found it in other series with One UI core at $150 before
for those of you who are interested in the Samsung Galaxy A03s, there are several color choices that you can choose,
there are blue, black, and white color options
for the available variants, there is only 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal memory variant.
and the price is around $150 only
and maybe you can also get it even cheaper on your favourite e-commerce.
even though when we check the difference is also quite thin with the official price in this series
