- The Samsung Galaxy A01 Core features a compact design with dimensions of 141.7 x 67.5 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 150g, utilizing a plastic back and frame available in black, blue, and red.
- Its 5.3-inch PLS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1480 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 311 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and operates at a 60Hz refresh rate.

- The device is powered by a 3000mAh battery with no fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 10 (Go edition), it is optimized for efficiency with limited resource usage.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, but it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Galaxy A01 Core is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks and casual use.
