SM-A037M/DS
great battery at first
gets updates in 2023 currently running Android 13 One UI 5.1 core
64gb of storage about 50gb
performance is not bad, but chuggs on demanding tasks
my issues are: the screen, I think its a multi touch problem I'm not sure
the camera is bad both main and selfie , but what can you expect on an entry level budget phone

This phone is amazing for the price! 3gb of ram is more than enough for all basic needs without lagging. And it's a throwaway price. Anything goes wrong and it doesn't matter because it's so cheap. I've owned 3 already. For the price, it owes me nothing. Noo bad it doesn't have NFC though A03s

This review is wrong my (EU model) A03S does measure 166 mm in length, not 164+
This may sound irrelevant but that wrong data is used by (example given) phone shell sellers to check wich product suits your phone!

1) Mine got the Android 13 upgrade as soon as I connected it to wifi. For those who said "Buy it only if you can get it at a discount": Kroger has new ones on sale for $39.00 USD. Okay, so they are locked to Simple Mobile but at that price, you are really getting a small tablet with up-to-date security. There's always VOIP too...
2) I'm not trying to get Tesla performance here at a used Yugo price but it will get me where I want to go. The large battery and the large screen play nicely together but the gold star goes to the One UI version: 5.1. It's all in what you want for the money.

This is awful, scrolling thru social media or even the browser and it would register as a tap instead resulting to accidental touches. Frustrating to use this device. Someetimes registers touch twice wheen typing (see from the previous texts) really awwful. A similar priced phone from other brands performs better than this.

Don't you think it is important to state whether this phone is single-sim or dual-sim?

Somehow this phone is too slow to even type properly on a keyboard. If someone had described how laggy, unreliable, and poorly made this phone was to me before I got it, I'm not sure that I would have even believed them. This is by far the worst phone I have ever seen, let alone used.

I bought this phone as the lowest price on the shelf at Wal-Mart. I literally got what I paid for. Twice I have accidentally had it damaged on the screen after it fell. That's been $140 for those. Now lately it has been freezing up or crashing on me. A few moments ago it froze on a YouTube video and I had to unbend a paper clip to stick into the hole at the bottom, because none of the buttons would respond. This is on top of how touch sensitive this thing is; if it were a human, it would either be having an orgasm every two minutes or would be under psychiatric care of some kind. Of course when I NEED to touch something on it to work, at least five times out of ten that doesn't happen.
This phone is terrible, this is why I try not to buy lowest cost price off the shelf. I'm paying for my misdeeds with it now.

The most dumb thing about it is how they make even these garbage ultra-budget phones so monstrous in size nowadays. 16,5cm for what? It's only 270ppi, Samsung, what are you smoking. You won't be gaming and enjoy content comfortably with this trash. Jesus... At least make it tiny so people could use it just as a simple and handy gadget for calls.

This phone is absolute garbage. Don't waste your money. This thing is ridiculously slow. More often than not, it takes upwards of 5 seconds to wake the phone or even to return to the home screen when you hit the home button. This was a terrible purchase that I whiole heartedly regret.
