Good & Bad
The Good:
The pricing and screen quality are the two defining factors of this new Samsung Galaxy M02. It is the most affordable Samsung Android you can buy today with all the modern features of the smartphone.
Not to forget the dual camera with 13 MP primary sensor and a gigantic 5000mAh battery that is sure to last you a day and a half with moderate usage. The option to expand the memory with a dual SIM option is a plus point, too.
The Bad:
The MediaTek processor at the heart of this Galaxy M02 is one let down for the phone. The phone is also available only with the storage of 32 GB only with both 2GB and 3GB variants.
In today’s world of HD photos and 4K videos, that will make a memory card a must buy with Samsung Galaxy M02 Phone. Also, we believe the back cameras could have been better.
