This phone has an adaptive sound feature that cannot be turned off. So at random times my phone volume goes down.
Thank you for the clarification on lack of NFC. I have read on phone specs sites that the A03S DOES have NFC. I searched for it for about an hour before watching this video to find out it isn't compatible with NFC and mobile payments... what a let down!!
I just got my new A03S. It is a great phone for me. I am low tech so I do not need an expensive Smartphone. My last phone went bad after 3 months of use,and I did not damage it. It was just a bad phone. I bought it from my carrier,and it should
not have been put on the market for sale. As a low tech person,Smartphones make me uncomfortable. If I accidentally push the wrong buttons,I get into a lot of trouble. Anyway,my A03S is phenomenal. This video was very helpful. Thanks for
making it.
Good to know, I'm not a techy person and feel the same way, always worried I'll poke the wrong buttons lol
Had one for 8/9 months, love this phone!
T&HPF : does the camera have image stabilization ?🤔
HEY i was thinking about getting this phone before i saw this review do you recommend any other phones that are better in this price range because im trying to get the best performance for like under 60$ roughly so
Thank you!!! Switched to Google FI and got one for $50 with a $50 credit on my first bill. Will work for me.
I own this phone and my main beef with it is the one speaker at the bottom. I wish it had stereo and i wish it was louder. I downloaded an app to fix the low sound from the speaker. I payed 55 dollars for the phone so for that price I'm very happy with it.
which app did u download?

Mine just came in the mail. Had to get a phone real quick and this was the cheapest they offered. Going to save up for another Google Pixel phone, which I personally love.
I’m mainly getting this phone for social media and music, just things I don’t want crowding up my main phone. Is it fine for just those things?
Thanks, some good points, I think the NFC is market dependent on the A03 same as the A12, My GF has an A12 and that phone has NFC cause it's a NA model..
Could you review the TCL 20E been looking for a review for it a while now haven't had any luck had a AO3s tip u can turn off animations and it will run pretty fast.
samee
If you do a Network Settings Reset, does that affect your APN,..!?...Appreciate if u can get back to me...on that issue,..! Thank u!👍
actually higher resolution screens only makes your battery consume more power which destroys performance and efficiency, so it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to do this for your phone.
besides why would you want anything higher than 720p for a phone that is 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide anyway, especially for a screen this size, there is a reason why it makes zero sense to have any higher resolution screens in smart phones.
first off, you really can't see the detail with your naked eye with a 4k to 8k screen, the pixels are just too small for you to see, sure the picture is clearer, but it doesn't really matter, now if you are looking at a 50 inch screen, than it does matter to have 4k to 8k on your screen, but it's never made sense on your phone to that high of resolution.
unless it comes to the camera it does make sense because most people upload their photos online or on their PC anyway where they will see that detail.
but yeah, higher resolution screen on smart phones is a stupid design choice overall.
Whats a good upgrade from this with more storage, and nfc, that doesn't lag?
My biggest complain on this phone probably is the finger print, it is ok and pretty fast if my hands are dry, but if my hands are just a bit wet from sweat, the fingerprint just stop working at all, good thing there's face unlock which is pretty helpful on my situation.
does this also have the old fashioned unlock combo tech for security, for people like me who don't want the finger print and face mechanics?
i also wonder if it has voice recognition software with a phrase to open the phone as well.
i like when phones have multiple ways, because if for whatever reason my finger print scanner fails i can always use another feature to get it opened, say both my finger print scanner and my camera are broken, i should have multiple options to get into my phone.
I concur about the fingerprint sensor but for 2 different reasons. First, the location of the sensor on the right side of the phone makes it difficult to press the button and hold the phone in one hand simultaneously. I prefer the sensor to be on the back of the phone a la Motorola's. Second, it is hard for my eyes to see the button in dark places since it is the same color as the case (both are black). Having the button in a different color would be most helpful so I"ll probably utilize the face unlock feature more in the future.

VERY frustrated with my A03s. Just got it. Found out Samsung doesn't include the power adapter. They seem to feel we all have them laying around and they don't need to send them anymore in order to save the planet. Well...not all of us have one that is USB "C". 3 hours with an extraordinary rude "Samsung Pro" all I will say is I will never buy another Samsung product again. I was very close yesterday to throwing it in the trash. But they can give you a link to buy one... That's like buying a car, paying for it and then hearing oh yes, the gas tank is optional. Selling a non working product out of the box for money is fraud in my eyes.
Apple also does it
Interesting... I paid $40 for mine and it came with the charger and power supply.
No phones come with chargers anymore
have had my AO3s for .... 4 years? And it's been great. However, the battery is starting to bloat! So do I get a new battery, or a new phone??
My biggest complaint is the phone has only 32 GB of internal memory. I just have 4.4 GB of memory left. 10.62 GB is used for "System" and 17 GB is used for "Other". Apparently "Other" is for the Apps. I did install a 128 GB Micro SD card.
Can I free up more internal storage space with this SD card?
i think his statements here are just silly. i mean i'm using an much older phone that had the built in storage of 15GB and the operating system took up 10GB and on top of that, the phone was loaded with a bunch of stupid apps i never use or have the ability to uninstall.
having 32GB internal memory is a freaking god send in my opinion. i had barely a few GB to work with on that phone in comparison to what this phone advertisement talks about, like holy balls lol.
You can put memory card for 1 TB
@@babyareme
yeah that's always good as well.
But will it allow you to download more apps? @@babyareme
I have the same phone. You can zoom in on a video and change the video quality when watching UA-cam videos.
Be precisable.Talk of battery time, screen size and resolution,may be camera and general performance of the device.
Where is the green voice mail icon at .I can't find it.
The booklet that it comes with does not explain how to navigate it
I bought this for my son for Christmas, it's really good. I've just got one for myself im waiting for it to arrive. I see no issues with this phone, he gets his use out of it. the worst Samsung phone I have had is this really heavy thing with a camera that popped up out the top. Awful.
does it have the always on display?
My QVC/Tracfone Special A03s was activated but could not be set up with Tracfone "support", may have been a previously returned phone. Had my old phone reactivated, returning A03s to Tracfone with UPS return label, hopefully will get replacement phone eventually.
You are not alone. I purchased this phone with a Mint Mobile package. It would have been a great deal for only $75, but the phone was completely locked down by Samsung and could not be used at all. An error message from Samsung prevented any operation of the phone. I returned it, got a refund and purchased the same package from a totally different seller. Same thing happened! Mint could not set up or enable this phone for activation because of this lockout message from Samsung Corp. Apparently a large quantity of this model phone were stolen or something and Samsung is blocking any usage. Beware
I bought one of these because I've never had an android phone before. I love how customizable the software is (as an iPhone user, I am not used to freedom). I agree that the cameras and lack of NFC are this phone's lowest points, but for a $40 phone, I won't complain. The charging speeds were slow when I first bought this phone, but they've improved for some reason.
If I were to give this phone a rating I would give it a solid 3/5 stars.
When I text a picture It imprints my phone info on photo. How to stop this I hate it
Samsung Galaxy S10e vs Samsung Galaxy A03s, for my mom, which is better? I know S10e older but has better specs
Thanks for this video good job man.
What is NFC?
My "big battery" in my beloved AO3s is BLOATING! 😱 I am trying to figure out if I can get a new battery or should I get an entirely new phone???
it's actually good it doesn't come with NFC, because this means there is less of a chance of someone stealing your money.
U can change the buttons bro. gesture on ur settings
Some people don't like gestures i myself like the 3 button navigation on my pixel 6
There seems to be a 64gb version?
Well it's not too slow for me. I'm 63 so the phone will probably have to wait on me LOL. I am trying this phone out now and it does everything that I need it to do. Since I'm not a "gamer" LOL
I'm old school and just need a phone for texting and picture taking, but I do 💙 a 📻, + this doesn't have 1
32GB built in storage isn't that bad, now back when it was freaking 15GB storage with the freaking operating system taking up at least 10GB of that storage and loaded with apps you will never use or could not delete from the device, that was bad, this is lots better.
I bought it and it contains earphones and charger and i am loving it so far so good
Yr lucky...I got squat with mine...I probably had 2 pay for the cheapo box..it came in,,too...! (with a hidden fee)...😃
I can't find screen mirror on this phone
does it have 64 bit OS,, or is it a hidden 32 bit,, motorola hides 32 bit os on a 64bit phone,, really sucks
i HATE that the power button is less than flush. it's super hard for me to push it and there is no way i can take screenshots. ofc that wasn't mentioned anywhere before i got it, so im screwed.
Can you still not screenshot?
@@yellowgap2559 I'll never be able to. maybe someone with different type of hands can lol
Hold power and volume down at the same time. Bang screenshot
..........hate hate the screen shot buttons configuration; I am looking for a phone that has buttons opposite side of phone to press simultaneously. Can't seem to find one. (I had a Samsung Galaxy J17, and it did just that)...... And yes, takes forever to charge + small memory ----- whatever, and my phone was not super cheap either. 😢😢😢 Android fan I am.
Do anybody want to accept Jesus Christ as your savior he want to give you Love peace and happiness and joy and salvation and eternal life if you confess your sin
Thanks
I love this phone 📱 big picture long battery and is beautiful for that price
is ok 👌
I hav mines and its lovely it wrks well for me
I had a Samsung A20 and was going to replace it with this one. Upgrade or downgrade?
It would be a downgrade. This phone has 8 a53 cores only. Your phone has the beefier cpu with two A73 and six a53.
I liked that one I think I had it with a cracked screen and was still using it as a backup to this one until it went missing. I believe I liked that one more at the time and it had nfc
I cannot receive messages or pictures
What is the maximum size external storage card it accepts?
I read...1Tig
Can't play games for shit. It freezes up and really bogs down no matter what I try to play
I'm going to this from an LG Phoenix 3. I'm pretty sure it's going to feel like the fastest phone on earth to me lol.
I just bought an awesome friday... its Monday and all of a sudden not charging.
I buy cheap phones because I'm accident prone so makes no sense to spend hundreds on a phone
There is also a 64gb storage varient though👀
I have no complaints it's does everything I need it to do
I have the A01 am thinking of moving to a new a02 or a03 now
I recommend you a a02s
The a03 is probably the better choice. The a02 is only 4 cores at 1.5. The a03 has 8 cores.
Same😭
It's a bit slow downloading
Can't cast my mobile data on TV.
There is a 64GB 4GB and 128GB 4GB Versions for the storage
I had an A03s, it was laggy, I tried everything to keep it from lagging, it was terrible, the keyboard would lag, and it would take thousands of years to interact with something, but when i first got it, best phone you can ever have, besides the fact you can't use ar on it and as time goes by the camera gets worse
I love this phone
Sound is to low
I'm watching this review with one. Now
Ese bhi ni hore
People are so spoiled now. I'm 70. When I was growing up I had a black and white tv 7 channels. After midnight only channel 2 was on. If you were watching a movie or tv show and the phone rang or you had to go to the bathroom, you couldn't pause the tv. There was no video tapes or DVDs and you had to use an anolog camera and you never knew how your picture came out until you carefully took the roll of film out of the camera and brought it to your local drugstore for them to send to Kodak or a prossessing company and in week or so you'd see your picture. And what you saw was what you got. You couldn't fix the picture. If you owned a polaroid, you could see your black and white picture in about 15 seconds and a full minute for color. But the quality wasn't as good as a Nikon. And VIDEO? NO SOUND. You'd have to buy a movie camera and a projector. And you only got 5 minutes of film that you could only film outdoors in bright light. If you wanted to shoot indoors you needed to buy very powerful and bright floodlights that blinded the people you were filming. Then you had to unload the 5 minutes worth of film and bring it to the local pharmacy or camera store for them to send it away for developing. You'd get the 5 minute movie back in about 2 weeks. Then you'd have to get out your heavy metal projector and oh yeah you'd have to buy a white movie screen that was on a tripod and a pain to set up. Then painstakingly thread the take up part of the film into the projector which took more time and patience. Then you would turn all the lights on the room off and start the projector. It usually had 2 switches. One to start the film going through the projector and the other to put that bulb in the projector on. After all that, you get to watch your 5 minute silent film. When done, you'd have to thread the film from the bottom take up reel which is now full, back up into the original reel. Put the projector into reverse and let the film rewind back into the original spool. Then you'd shut the lamp(bulb) off, but keep the projector on until the bulb cooled off in about 5 to ten minutes. Now you have cell phones. Oh yeah, I had to use a corded telephone that you had to dial with your fingers. And no answering machine. We were happy. Played outdoors a lot.
Well that was then and this is now.
Step down Biden !!!
It costs $60.00 at Wal-Mart. My Samsung Galaxy A03s works better after raising the payment plan to $65.00
Nice phone but I gotta have my music and music streaming on my phone and that phone is not going to cut it for me at all
Its a cheap phone it's not for you haha
so is it worth buying or no?
I've just bought one, my son has one, he loves it. He gets so much use out of it, tik tok and games. I have bought it for the massive battery, compared to my crappy iPhone xr battery.
@@veron8484 thanks i might get it but im still a kid on a cheap buget so this helps
32gb really bummed me out
It's best phone.
I paid 112$ out the door on t-mobile prepaid.. The phone was free! Got 2 months unlimited everything.. Up to 50gigs data high speed.. Phone works great. If you're an extreme gammer, trying to run a business from your phone.. its great.. I pair with my galaxy tablet for anything more than what its suppose to be for.. Crybabies
People trying to be a photographer and run a business with this phone 😂
One of the worst things should have been the way they have the password. I can't access my phone because I forgot the password. I tried doing what the you tube videos said to do but it didn't work. So now I am stuck with this phone which i hate but my battery is going out on this phone I hate. Can anyone help me? I would appreciate it
ধন্যবাদ।
That's wrong u do have 64gb of internal storage maybe it's an honest mistake
There's actually two versions of the Samsung Galaxy A03s. One that has 32gb of internal storage and 3gb of ram and then there's 64gb of internal storage and 4gb of ram. I have the second one (:
The wifi is only 2.4 ghz
Terrible phone. Mine is brandnew and its sluggish, terrible terrible phone. I bought mine for $230 but its worth at most $100. Never expected better tho. Im speechless 😶. Terrible
I have 4GB Ram And 64GB Rom
Inc memory by Sd card ti 1 TB
Worst phone i ever had
My storage is only 8 gigabytes
OMG! ..!..I THOUGHT I HAD IT BAD!..Sorry to here that....Much more luck..to u..on that! 🙋♀️
This is the worst phone I got I hate it

This phone is prob good for a first phone. Takes years to charge! Thought it was my chargers but nope...its slow charge!!!
Main faults
1. Storage
2. Lag
3. No nfc
the thing i hate about the a03s was that theres no smart view
lol. if those scores in geekbench are better than your phone itll probably be like my s5. which geekbench doesnt even support 😝
try visible wireless for unlimited data an get a motorola with a rebate or this near free with rebate. My blade 5g i got from them blows this out the water
no affiliate link = im not paid to offer you this knowledge
The camera is AWFUL & the battery takes a thousand years to charge. 0/10
