Buying advice for Algeria

Both Samsung Galaxy A03 Core and Samsung Galaxy A23 5G are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Samsung Galaxy A03 Core is 38% cheaper at 13,000 DZD versus 21,000 DZD for the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 50 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.

At this price you should expect 4G across Algerian networks (Mobilis, Djezzy, Ooredoo) and basic 60-90Hz screens.
