The Samsung Galaxy A01 Core (also known as Galaxy M01 Core in India and as Galaxy A3 Core in Africa) is a budget Android smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its A series. It was announced in July 2020 and launched in August 2020 as a low cost phone. It features a 5.3-inch (14.6mm) 720p display and runs One UI Core 2.0 on top of Android 10 Go Edition. It is a smaller and lite version of the Samsung Galaxy A01. On the hardware front, offerings are pretty minimal. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor and 2GB of RAM power the Galaxy A01, and there's 16GB of onboard storage, of which just 3.4GB is available out of the box. Fortunately, you can add 512GB of external storage with a microSD card. For comparison, the Motorola Moto e ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. Buttons are easy to reach, even with small hands. The front of the phone is dominated by a 5.7-inch LCD with a teardrop notch and minimal bezels. It’s vivid and bright with good viewing angles. Screen resolution comes in at 1,520 by 720 pixels with 294ppi. Examine the display closely and you’ll notice that app icons and text are a little fuzzy, but we found it crisp enough for most every task except reading long articles. User Available Memory: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the operator and may change after software upgrades are performed Battery - Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.

When attempting all but the most basic tasks—web browsing, scrolling through social media feeds, and the like—performance failed to impress in testing. There’s noticeable lag when tapping the keyboard or swiping between screens. Needless to say, gaming is a frustrating experience punctuated by dropped frames, long load times, and intermittent crashes. The actual capacity (Wh) is measured based on the battery's output current and voltage. It may differ from the capacity (Wh) indicated on the device, depending on the output power condition, the connected device’s circuit configuration, and the operation environment. If you haven’t noticed, we’ve yet to mention a fingerprint sensor. That’s because the A01 doesn’t have one. That’s a pretty large omission, especially since you’ll find them on less expensive phones such as the ZTE Blade A3 Prime. There's a microSD slot on the left side for extra storage—which you'll definitely need. (Steven Winkelman) The Samsung Galaxy A01 has a dual-camera setup arranged vertically on the left side of the phones along with the flash. The main camera is a 13MP wide lens and the second is a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera can record video up at 1080p @ 30fps. A single 5MP front-facing camera is present in a notch. Both the front facing camera can take live focus (Portrait) photos. [7] History [ edit ]

Network: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. The Galaxy A01 ships with Android 10 along with One UI 2. Samsung’s custom skin brings some unique changes to Android, including a reversed navigation menu, an updated Settings menu, and a suite of productivity apps. The Samsung Galaxy A01 was announced on December 17, 2019. It was released in the following month, January 2020. [1] Hardware [ edit ]

Call quality, on the other hand, is excellent. The earpiece has a maximum volume of 86dB and is loud enough to hear on busy streets. Our test calls were clear and noise cancellation worked well.

There is, however, one noticeable omission: Easy mode, a feature found on most Samsung phones that allows users to create a basic UI that's great for children, seniors, and people who prefer less-complex feature phones. Without it, this phone is less useful as a low-cost phone to give to your child or parent.

The poky Snapdragon X6 modem has 2x10mHz carrier aggregation on the downlink and 64-QAM encoding. It’s a slow older modem that’s paired with part of the Snapdragon 439 chipset, and is unable to use carrier resources as efficiently as newer alternatives such as the Snapdragon X9 modem on the Motorola Moto e.

The Samsung Galaxy A01's dual cameras do a good job with plenty of light, but low-light photography is a different story. (Samsung) A 3,000mAh battery gives you plenty of screen time. In our battery drain test, which streams HD video over Wi-Fi at full screenbrightness, the A01 eked out 10 hours and 14 minutes before powering down. There’s no fast charging option, but it only takes just over two hours to completely recharge the depleted battery. Estimated against the usage profile of an average/typical user. Independently assessed by Strategy Analytics between 2021.12.08–12.20 in USA and UK with pre-release versions of SM-S901, SM-S906, SM-S908 under default setting using 5G Sub6 networks (NOT tested under 5G mmWave network). Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.

MobilityArena Buyer’s Guide Verdict

On Geekbench 5, a benchmarking test that quantifies raw computing power, the Galaxy A01 scored 150 single-core (SC) and 540 multi-core (MC). The Moto e managed 248 (SC) and 781 (MC) on the same test. Our subjective experience is that the Moto e handles basic tasks much more smoothly than the Galaxy A01. It’s also unlikely the Galaxy A01 will get an upgrade to to Android 11. In 2020, Samsung announced three years of software upgrades for the majority of its Galaxy portfolio, but the A01 wasn’t included on the list.
