This CPU is already three years old, and personally, I would have preferred Helio A20-series for better performance sake, but on a bright side, the CPU still offers 4G LTE network, and it is well optimized as well, thanks to the presence of Android 10 (GO Edition).<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-3046315 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201019-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1480\" src=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201019-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A3 Core unboxing and full review | DroidAfrica\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3046439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201019-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201019-1-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201019-1-498x1024.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-full-width=\"720\" data-full-height=\"1480\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3046439'>\n\t\t\t\tScreenshot 20201025 201019 1\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201027-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1480\" src=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201027-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A3 Core unboxing and full review | DroidAfrica\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3046440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201027-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201027-1-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201027-1-498x1024.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-full-width=\"720\" data-full-height=\"1480\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3046440'>\n\t\t\t\tScreenshot 20201025 201027 1\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201034-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1480\" src=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201034-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A3 Core unboxing and full review | DroidAfrica\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3046441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201034-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201034-1-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201034-1-498x1024.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-full-width=\"720\" data-full-height=\"1480\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3046441'>\n\t\t\t\tScreenshot 20201025 201034 1\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201148-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1480\" src=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201148-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A3 Core unboxing and full review | DroidAfrica\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3046442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201148-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201148-1-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/droidafrica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201025-201148-1-498x1024.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-full-width=\"720\" data-full-height=\"1480\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3046442'>\n\t\t\t\tScreenshot 20201025 201148 1\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Even though the device has just 1GB RAM, it still run fairly smooth so long as you don\u2019t wonder too far from the bundled Go and Go related apps.
