The new Galaxy A02 has all the interesting features you need in a smartphone and yet stays within the reach of an average Nigerian. Moreover, I will like to use this opportunity to share more about the features and functionalities of the new Samsung Galaxy A02 smartphone.
Display & Design

Looking at the design, the phone has glass screen in the front, plastic in the back and as well flamed with plastic. The dual rear cameras can be seen at the op left hand side aligned vertically along with an LED flash. The infinity notch design gives room for selfie camera at the front.
Operating System
Explore the world of possibilities with Google latest innovation (Android 10 operating system) design to offer redefined features, flexibility and stability. Thanks to the new Samsung Galaxy A02 for allowing you to see the goodies Packaged in the new Android 10 OS.
Android 10 is built on One UI Core which allows you to concentrate on what’s important to you. Hardware and software work together to have content and functionality at your fingertips, enabling you to access them more easily.

Memory Size
As I said earlier, Samsung Galaxy A02 has 2 versions, one of them has 2GB RAM + 32GB ROM while the other one has 3GB RAM + 64GB ROM. For fast and efficient performance, the Galaxy A02 combines Octa-core processing power with up to 3GB of RAM that guarantees optimum performance and stability.
Feel free to download and save more files on your new Galaxy A02 with up to 32/64GB of internal storage memory that can as well be expanded with a MicroSD card up to 1TB. Go for the one with big memory if the money is no he issue
Camera
Samsung Galaxy A02 offers a dual 13MP + 2M rear camera. With the 13MP Main Camera, you can catch unforgettable moments in crystal clear detail. Depth Camera allows you to customize the focus, while Macro Camera allows you to get closer to the data. With the 2MP Macro Camera, you can get up close and personal with information you would have missed otherwise. It gives your photos a natural Bokeh effect, making your subject stand out against the background.
The depth Camera brings the lens to the front. You can change the depth of field in your images with the 2MP Depth Sensor. You can easily fine-tune the background blur behind your subject with a single touch for high-quality portrait shots that stand out. Selfies worth sharing from the front camera. It’s simple to take beautiful selfies with the Galaxy A02’s 5MP front camera and Live Focus, which show more of you and less of the context.
Battery Capacity
One thing I value much about is the big 5000 mAh battery it offers allows you to keep up with the pace of the day with a battery that won’t hold you back. The 5,000mAh (typical) battery allows you to continue doing what you’re doing for hours without interruption.
