For example, a 5000mAh battery, a 6.5-inch screen, and the Android OS GO wrapped in Samsung’s One UI style which has a modern and minimalist look.
Then what are the other interesting rights of a smartphone for 1 million like this Samsung Galaxy A03 core?
Unboxing
The packaging box of the Samsung Galaxy A03 Core is quite identical to a number of other entry-level Samsung products with a simple design.

For the record, in the purchase box there is no casing which is also commonly found on a number of smartphone devices at affordable prices.
The screen also doesn’t have the scratch-resistant coating that’s commonly found in some new-out-of-the-box devices.
So after buying this device, it is highly recommended to immediately buy a protective and scratch-resistant casing so that the smartphone device can be protected when an unwanted incident occurs.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core has plastic materials for both the back panel and side frame.
However, Samsung provides a textured texture for the back panel and a different texture near the camera which makes the smartphone look a little better than just plain glossy.

Unfortunately, this front camera cannot be used as a biometric security system, because the security system of the Galaxy A03 core only relies on a pattern, pin or password.
Rear Camera
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core only uses a 1-camera setup with an 8MP resolution which is actually not that big but it’s common for us to find 1 million smartphones.
This 1 camera setup is actually a significant update from its predecessor Galaxy A02 Core which only uses a 5MP camera.

According to its class, the Samsung Galaxy A03 Core camera offers not so many features, one of which is a panoramic mode for taking wide-angle photos.
Then the video recording can also be done at a maximum resolution of FHD 30 FPS.
Runway, Battery & OS
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core is equipped with a chipset from Unisoc SC9863A with 28nm fabrication and is supported by 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
This figure does seem small for the standard of a 2021 smartphone which usually has at least 3GB of RAM.
But the good news is that the Galaxy A03 Core uses the Android 11 Go operating system which is much lighter than the standard Android 11 with a software size that is not large and not too heavy to run even though it only has 2GB of RAM.

During use, the smartphone feels smooth enough to run in normal daily scenarios such as social media, listening to songs, and watching YouTube.
But it should be noted, smartphones sometimes take longer when opening an application that we usually open on a standard Android smartphone.
However, this is indeed a compromise that must be accepted when using a smartphone with only 2GB of RAM, although it can be tricked by using the lite version of applications such as Facebook Lite, Spotify Lite, and TikTok Lite.
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core also uses a fairly large 5000mAh battery even though it only supports 7.5 watts of charging.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy A03 Core has specifications that are typical of the 1 million HP class starting from the hardware and design.
Compared to the previous generation, the Galaxy A03 Core gets better improvements such as a bigger screen and camera.

In addition, Samsung Galaxy A03 Core also comes with 5000mAh battery and comes with 7.5W charging in the purchase box.
If interested, Samsung Galaxy A03 Core was offered at a price of Rp. 1,199,000 when it was released.
