Samsung Galaxy A03s

Samsung Galaxy A03s price in Malaysia starts from RM349, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. Under the hood is a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, enough for basic apps and everyday use, with a microSDXC slot if you need more room. The 6.5-inch PLS LCD panel runs at 720 x 1600 resolution, so don't expect the sharpness of a full HD screen, but it's serviceable for browsing and video.

The 5000 mAh battery is the standout here, backed by 15W fast charging, so all-day use shouldn't be a problem even with average power draw. On the camera side, you get a triple setup led by a 13MP main sensor, with a 2MP macro and 2MP depth lens rounding things out, plus a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

There's no NFC on this one, which matters if you rely on contactless payments, but you do get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It runs Android 11 with One UI 3.1 Core out of the box.
