Entry-level is the right word for this one. The Snapdragon 439 chipset pairs with just 2GB RAM and 16GB storage here, so this is a phone for calls, messaging, and light browsing rather than anything demanding. The 5.7-inch PLS TFT screen runs at 720 x 1520 resolution, which is fine for everyday use but won't impress anyone used to sharper panels. Samsung Galaxy A01 price in Malaysia starts from RM399, putting it firmly in budget territory.
The dual rear camera setup gives you a 13MP main lens with a 2MP depth sensor for basic portrait shots, backed by a 5MP front camera for selfies. Video tops out at 1080p30, nothing fancy there either.
Battery capacity sits at 3000 mAh, and charging still goes through the older microUSB port rather than USB-C. It runs Android 10 with One UI 2 out of the box, and there's a microSDXC slot if you need to expand past the 16GB onboard storage.
