I have the Ao3s. I got mine for only 49.95 locked to Tracfone. I disabled anything that slowed the phone down and uninstalled all the apps that i didnt need at all. I turned off the vibration too. I have not had any problems so far. Its been over 1 month. Its the best phone i ever bought for under $75.00 . Just my opinion. Im too cheap to pay over $90 for any phone. This phone does what i need it to do. Dont fall for all of those super expensive phones! Its all a gimmick! Dont pay for what you dont really need.
it's funny, as I've gotten older in my mid 30s now I'm trying to get THE cheapest possible phone that can still do the basics decent. Years ago before I started getting flagship spec phones really cheap slightly used/refurbed, I was a budget phone connoisseur, and, honestly, with bs apps uninstalled, a weekly cache cleaning, sd maid run, greenify used/hibernating apps and a weekly restart, I kept a VERY budget spec Moto E4 2gb ram snapdragon 425 quadcore phone running pretty good. Turning the animations and stuff to 0.5x speed in the android dev options helps the phone feel faster too. With the cost of living and the not so demanding things I even use a phone for these days, just social media, occasional call, occasional cat pic taken, mostly browse online/youtube and text/IM, I can't justify a ton for a phone. I've seen some slightly used A14 5G really cheap, and tracfone branded phones in general, the a54 5g has been as low as ~$120ish for the TF branded one. Suddenly when groceries skyrocketed I didn't give a damn if the next person thought my phone was "cool" or "new". Trying to "keep up with the Jone's" is an endless moneypit and horrible mindset to have
@@kalipeztechI agree. Motorola has had a few great budget phones recently. I've seen a few great ones drop down to under 69.00 the past few weeks. My neighbor has the G Power and loves it! Says it's better than most 150.oo phones.
I just now watched this video because I bought this phone and the model I have DOES have NFC. Also on the GSM Arena website, I says in the specs that the phone does have NFC, but its "market-dependant" When I looked up the particular model for my phone, it DEF does have NFC. Just thought I'd let you know. The phone has 7 or 8 different models and maybe a couple specific models don't have it. But mine DEF does.
I have one of these phones as a backup, and I can say it's fine. The storage space is limited for those who like to add a lot of apps, but I'm not into that. For standard, non-gaming use, I think most people will be satisfied.
I really don't like mine, even before i installed anything it's suuuper slow, the camera quality is very bad and the colors aren't realistic. The microphone sounds very bad as well and even cuts out sometimes when making a video. Not worth it at all, your review was too positive in my opinion
Got my 10yo son one for $40 with a year of tracfone included. I've spent a lot of time setting it up just right. Obviously its entry level and low spec... But with some cleaning/tweaking its not bad for basic use.
The galaxy a03s doesn't have nfc. According to Samsung and every other tech reviewer. (And myself as well since I've had this for over a yr). Not sure what u did or used but it's practically impossible. Gotta admit I'm curious now😅
@@kweenjade01 I live in Sweden so it might be sold with nfc in only Europe/scandinavian countries perhaps 👍mine worked with nfc but have a new phone now
Using it for almost 1.5years now . Few troubles otw like I had to change the processor again heating issues is much seen. Motherboard is cheaped out which makes unusable. My touch stops working completely until cooled out a bit.
I bought this phone from HSN, it's junk. The phone rings and rings with a call coming in but you can't answer the call. Hitting the phone icon does nothing, sending it back, beware.
Ok this is a good phone I got it for free at T mobile but the new phones were about 800 ot a more do not waste your money on new phones they wlll charge u too much in and 2 yrs
I had the G Pure. It was a great budget phone! My eyes seemed to strain form the screen. Its the only thing I didn't like about it. The camera was pretty good too. I bought my g pure for only $59.00 on Amazon. It used to be much more.
03s locked to tracfone - $50 or a14 5g locked to tracfone - $120 these are my choices. which one would you get. whats the better deal. is the a14 worth the extra $70
A14 is a Million times better In almost every spec😢 If ur still looking for these 2 phones, Nowadays you can get a A14 5G for the same price as the a03s on Straight talk
if you can afford it the a14 is a lot better. I'm considering an a03s for a cheap backup phone/wifi tablet though lol. It can be a little mini bedside tv 😂😂
I am owning this phone.Some of the drawbacks I faced.You can't switch off the camera shutter sound, because no such switch is provided in the phone.Secondly you can't cast anything from your mobile to TV. because it doesn't support that system & not even to third party apps.This is very disgusting. I will advice not to buy this model.

Of course this phone is still a good buy. I recommended my mom in buying this phone. For how she uses phones, it's a great phone!!
Probably the best option in its price range tbh
@@kalipeztech she only paid 50 dollars, TracFone.

Is 3gb 32gb good?

What do you except with a $140 phone, it’s means fir people who only text or call and have 4 or 5 apps
@@rick3151 just a warning for people who expect it to work properly. Even without installing any apps it barely functions.
Watching this on an a03s. Mine got one ui 5 on it after waiting for a while
thanks for this. thinking about buying one.

it has nfc though, worked for me when I used it at the store.

I got this phone, and love it 😀 but it is a high price phone,
At Simple Mobile it’s for $49.00 because it’s on sale right now.

I cast UA-cam but I can't cast pics. The only thing I hate. The photo casting apps have too many ads!
If ur tech savvy enough you'll be able to cast anything u want. Ijs 🤷♀️
I used the phone and it hard crashed while watching UA-cam 😔
Actually, instead bought this phone for 58.00 at Walmart. So after having an Obama phone this is good phone.
I've had the good the bad the ugly... soo I am over it. I'll take this and be done.
@@Satona-dm5ceLol. I just got this phone as an Obama phone.
