this is so ahh, i mean it few lags actually hurt and cannot play rolbox (i did it on purpose) without a single hint of decent frames.


this can be used as a burner/second-hand phone and do NOT use it as a main phone.

      This is horrible. It lags on the lock screen. The system UI crashes. Not even subway surfers could run at even 30 fps. IT RAN AT 10 FPS. The home screen lags. 100 gigs? Try 32. Downloading is horrible. Randomly disconnects, the phone doesnt work at 4k. I currently am owning a s25 ultra which is better in EVERY way. DO NOT USE THIS PHONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!! Its only good as a 2nd phone or burner. But this is horrible.

            this phone is actually disgusting to use, it's the rock bottom of the budget segment and the fact you can still get it today is even worse...
            not even custom roms can save it (yes, i tried), it lags on everything even with most of the apps disabled and it's not even close to something like motorola's old budget options.
            don't buy it, not even as a trap phone PLEASEE look at something like an iphone se 2 because theyre like dirt cheap

              . if I told you that this phone was created to upset you I bet you wouldn't believe me but I promise you. Save the forty bucks it costs and put it towards anything else. Lags with nothing on it, Slow with all apps disabled. Stutters while typing making it not work properly. Browsing anything is a choir when it should be an experience. I quit phones last year for three months because I was over it. I couldn't really afford anything else at the time and the phone is so cheap the it was hard to pass up. I wish I did. I ended up saving up for a pixel 6
              night and day difference.

                            Dave, 07 Mar 2025Why does there seem to be disagreement as to whether the A03s battery is type Lithium-ion, or ... moreLooking at phone battery types a second time, the A03s battery is the Li-Po type, just as the GSM Arena specs say.

                                    I gave this phone a chance, but it is the absolute worst phone I've ever had. It is so frustrating and I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't feel so strongly about it. I've always had good luck with Android devices. So disappointing

                                      I have the Asian model for about 3 years, currently on One UI 5.1. Sure, it might be a bullcrap, but it's a budget phone. I say again, "budget". Samsung has budgets, mid-ranges, high-ends and flagships. Don't buy a budget phone and expect it to work like a flagship or high-end phone.

                                      For me it has no major problem (except the fingerprint scanner which broke in the Android 12 update but I don't care about it). It's a good phone for its price and level.

                                      If you want a powerful and cheap phone, go buy Xiaomi. Basically every Xiaomi phone is high-speced, no matter if it's cheap or expensive. The more money you spend, the better phone you'll get.

                                        The sound recording app of my galaxy a03s is not functioning. What can be the problem?
