, a single year has made a lot of difference for Samsung’s budget smartphone series. The Galaxy A02s comes with a larger display, more RAM and built-in storage, an additional rear-facing camera and a considerably larger battery.

15W fast charging is the new standard​


Samsung has improved its budget phone formula for 2021 in more than just one way. Aside from the newer internal hardware, the addition of 1GB extra RAM, and the inclusion of a macro camera, Samsung has also brought one mid-range feature to the new budget phone, namely fast charging.

The Galaxy A02s might be Samsung’s most affordable phone of 2021 to boast a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging. In contrast, the Galaxy A11 lacks fast charging capabilities altogether for its 3,000mAh battery.

The extra 2,000mAh capacity is partly required because of the larger display. The Galaxy A02s features a 6.5-inch display, a size that has become very popular among Samsung’s mid-range phones. The larger display has a resolution of 1520 by 720 pixels.

If there’s one area that hasn’t been improved over the course of one year, that area is biometric authentication. Like the smartphone it’s supposed to succeed, the Galaxy A02s lacks fingerprint scanning technology and as a result, it lacks features such as Samsung Pay.
