Camera: The Samsung A03s includes three cameras on the back: a 13-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera sensor. For selfies, a 5-megapixel front camera sensor has been provided that is somewhat inferior to other phones in a similar price range.
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C connector are all available on the Galaxy A03s. For security, a fingerprint sensor has been placed on the phone’s side which is a set standard for the 15k smartphone segment.

There is no shortage of options in the 12k price range with more appealing alternatives from Xiaomi and Realme and time will tell if users transition to a Samsung in this range.
