Samsung has often demonstrated that the fact that they produce a large number of high-end smartphones has no bearing on their intentions for low-cost products.

Design and Display
The design of the Samsung Galaxy A02s isn’t particularly innovative. It has design aspects that have been seen on other phones, even some that aren’t from Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy A02s’ back panel has a layout that seems similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy A51. The lack of a single camera, however, distinguishes them.
A camera module with triple cameras and an LED flash is located on the back panel. The Samsung branding is visible beneath the camera module, indicating that this is a Samsung smartphone.
A 6.5-inch TFT display with a drop notch sits at the front. The resolution of this display is 720 x 1560 pixels, with a 259 PPI.
The Galaxy A02s is made out of plastic on the back, plastic on the frame, and glass on the front.
In addition, those interested in purchasing this smartphone will have a choice of two colors: black or white.
The Cameras
The cameras on the Samsung Galaxy A02s aren’t very impressive, but they’re about what we should expect at this point in smartphone technology.

A single 5MP front-facing camera with an aperture of f/2.2 is in charge of selfies.
