The budget Samsung Galaxy A02 debuted in Thailand

Published: 27.01.2021

I have no idea why there - but a new, cheap Samsung Galaxy A02 was presented in Thailand today. What does this model offer?

First of all, Samsung Galaxy A02 offers a low price of 2,999 baht, or about $ 100. In addition, a 5000 mAh battery can be considered an advantage of Galaxy A02 - unfortunately, without fast charging. You may also like the plastic cover of the phone - you can have it in a colour other than black, and its striped pattern will probably be practical in everyday use.

Samsung Galaxy A02, as a budgetary, will not be a speed demon. It has a not so new MediaTek MT6739W processor and 3+32 GB memory, with the possibility of using a microSD card. There is no madness, but it is worth remembering that there are more expensive models with 2 GB of RAM or even a gigabyte...

Of course, the smartphone does not support 5G, but we have LTE, DualSIM (unfortunately, hybrid), dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, a minijack and ...a microUSB socket. You can see some of them in the warehouse... Or is it just a response to the expectations of less affluent customers? There is no tragedy in the field of photography given the price of the phone. In Galaxy A02 we have a 5-megapixel selfie camera (f/2.0) and a 13-megapixel rear camera (f/1.9), in addition with an additional 2 Mpx (f/2.4) macro camera. As the system - "full" Android 10 with the proprietary One UI 2.0 interface. Unfortunately, I am afraid that after adding European surcharges and taxes, the price of Samsung Galaxy A02 will no longer be as attractive as it is at the moment.
