Samsung Galaxy 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.

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.

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.

Bought this phone for a relative and another relative liked it so much that I had to order another one! It is a really nice phone. Only had it for a day so far, but we are liking everything about it. Had to spend a few hours updating all of the software on it before use, but it seems to be running smoothly. It also arrived quickly too, which was really nice. Would recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a simple phone. This was bought for a couple of older people as their first smart phone and simplified for them. Been playing around with the phone all day and the battery life is still good.

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.

This was a first-time mobile for a 70-year-old user. She set up the device within minutes and found that really easy to do. She is delighted with the 'phone and rates it as perfect for her needs. She was concerned that she, an elderly lady, would not be able to use the device, but she's up and running with it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, not just for older folk, but for anyone.

Arrived on schedule. I consider it fair value. It replaces my smaller Motorola, which is now my backup. I have also purchased a gel case etc. It had to be 4G and PAYG, do not like contracts and I only want it for calls and text, so what it is capable of it is overkill but I wanted a Samsung because they tend to perform well. Like the large battery. I do not need or want to use most of what it can do but I have connected it to my router just in case. Have deleted all social media apps and advertising and do not use it for email, for which my laptop suffices. Had not realised it would be so big in my pocket. Eventually, when this packs in I will get a model of no more than an overall 5 inches. So far it serves my purpose and should for a fair time,if it performs as well as my wife's Samsung has.
