Back in November, Samsung launched one of its most affordable phones with the Galaxy A02s which retails for €150 (about ₦55,000 in Nigeria). Today, it has unveiled its vanilla version with a more aggressive price tag, called Galaxy A02.
Spec-wise you’re getting a similar package to the A02s with one less camera around the back and MediaTek’s MT6739W chipset at the helm. You get a single 3GB RAM and 32GB storage version though you can expand that via microSD.
There’s a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD upfront with a waterdrop notch cutout for the 5MP selfie cam. Around the plastic back we have a 13MP primary camera next to a 2MP macro cam.
The A02 boots Android 10 with OneUI 2 on top. Its 5,000 mAh battery charges over microUSB at 7.75W speeds. The phone comes with dual SIM support and also sports a headphone jack. Availability details were not announced today but we expect the Galaxy A02 to make its way to more regions in the coming months.
