Samsung has announced a new entry-level smartphone today in Nigeria. The new phone is the successor of the Galaxy A2 Core that was announced last year.

The Galaxy A3 Core drops the 16:9 aspect ratio of its predecessor. The bezels are now smaller but are still thick when compared to other phones. This is an entry-level device, so we are not knocking it for its bezels. The TFT LCD screen is 5.3-inches and has an HD+ (1480 x 720) resolution.

The Galaxy A3 Core has a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and it is paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (available storage is 10.6GB). There is a dedicated MicroSD card slot that allows you to add up to an extra 512GB of storage!

The phone has a 5MP f/2.4 camera above the display while the rear has a single 8MP f/2.2 camera and LED flash. Samsung says it has digital zoom up to 4x and it can record FHD videos at 30fps. The phone has a textured polycarbonate backplate and comes in Blue, Black, and Red.

The Galaxy A3 Core runs Android Go but Samsung didn’t say what version it is. There s a 3000mAh battery with support for MicroUSB charging. The phone also has dual-SIM support (nano), 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, an audio jack, GPS, LTE, and Bluetooth 5.0

The Galaxy A3 Core is now available in Nigeria for ₦32,500 (~$85) at Samsung stores and partner stores.
