How do They Compare?
The Samsung Galaxy A03s and the TCL 30 Z are fairly on par in terms of performance with one major caveat being the battery. The 66% increase in size for the battery means Simple Mobile users buying the A03s can expect a bit more longevity. Otherwise, it would be difficult to differentiate how the two perform side by side, being so equal.
The clear winner for the value pick is the TCL 30 5G. It has features considered an upgrade from the other two – a sharper screen, the larger battery, but most importantly, 5G connectivity. As carriers continue to ramp up data speeds and connectivity on new technologies, you can future proof your device purchase a bit more if you can shake it.
If you are looking for something with a bit more power, consider the Google Pixel 7a or the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, both also on sale as part of Amazon’s Prime day deals.
