Samsung Galaxy A01 Core price in Malaysia starts from RM329, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a Mediatek MT6739 chipset paired with just 1GB RAM and 16GB storage, numbers that explain why it runs Android 10 Go edition rather than the standard build. The 5.3-inch PLS TFT display keeps things simple too, with a 720 x 1480 resolution that's fine for basic browsing and messaging but won't wow anyone used to sharper screens.

Camera-wise, you get a single 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and a 5MP front camera, enough for casual snaps rather than serious photography. The 3000 mAh battery is modest by today's standards, though the phone's light 150g build and compact frame make it easy to carry around.

There's no fingerprint sensor or fast charging here, and the microUSB port feels dated even for 2020. It's a phone built for essentials only: calls, texts, light apps, and not much else beyond that.
