Samsung Galaxy A3 review

Metal in the mid-range

Premium build quality ; Expandable storage ; Impressive performance and battery

Low resolution display ; Sub-par camera ; Non-removable battery

A solid mid-range option for those that prioritise one-handed usability, great battery life and premium build quality over big specs.

Samsung Galaxy A3 review (2017)

The Samsung Galaxy A3 gets the S7's sleek design & waterproofing as well as plenty of updates over its predecessor.

Overall, the A3's improvements for 2017 are pretty significant and make this nice-size, reasonably priced phone even more appealing for those who like the idea of the Galaxy S7 but can't quite stretch their budget that far. Its waterproofing and...

Samsung Galaxy A3 Review: In Depth

Samsung Galaxy A3 Review: Samsung's A-series smartphones continue what the Galaxy Alpha started by bringing premium metalwork into a Samsung-centric world previously devoid of such...

Premium metal design ; Beautiful screen ; Excellent battery life ; Lightweight

Feature light ; Lacklustre camera

The Galaxy Alpha got things started, but the A Series shows that Samsung is now well and truly into its stride. Bringing premium metal design work down to humble mid-rangers like the Samsung Galaxy A3 helps the company standout and should up their...

Samsung Galaxy A3 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Samsung Galaxy A3 might have a stylish metal exterior, but does it have the high-specification innards to match? And how does it compare to the rest of the Samsung line up? We ran it through our lab tests to find out. Read on for our full verdict.

Samsung Galaxy A3 Review

The Samsung Galaxy A3 is a good looking phone with a decent camera, but its screen and processor could be slightly better

+ Attractive design ; + Good camera ; + Expandable storage

- Low res screen ; - Average processor ; - Below average battery

The Samsung Galaxy A3 looks the part and it will keep photo fans happy, but it’s not quite the complete package, with a slightly disappointing screen and processor. We want to emphasise slightly though, as neither aspect of the phone is a disaster and...

Samsung Galaxy A3 review

Following the sleek, high-priced Galaxy Alpha , Samsung offers a brace of similar, but considerably cheaper handsets with the Galaxy A3 and A5. The A3 costs less than half the price, but do the compromises made on the make it still too expensive?

Stylish and slim design, decent quad-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on front, expandable memory

Screen not HD

For those charmed by the style and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the Galaxy A3 is a mostly successful attempt to give you the best bits on a budget. The screen isn't quite as detailed, the processor isn't quite as powerful, and the main...

Samsung Galaxy A3 and A3 Duos review: A-ddictive

The Samsung Galaxy A3 is the junior member of the company's new metal-clad lineup. The least likely one to challenge the Alpha-dog but just as slim and sharp as the rest of its Galaxy A teammates.

Distinct Dual-SIM model (1GB RAM) and LTE model (1.5GB RAM, NFC, Cat. 4 LTE) available ; 4.5" qHD Super AMOLED touchscreen, 245ppi, with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and an ambient light sensor ; Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz ; Snapdragon 410 chipset,...

On the pricey side at launch ; Relatively low resolution display ; Non-removable battery ; Dual SIM model has less RAM than the single-SIM model and no NFC ; The second SIM slot on the Dual SIM model doubles as a microSD slot, so you can only use it...

It's hard not to like the Samsung Galaxy A3. And there's more to like about it than what is on the outside. Even so, let's take one final moment to appreciate Samsung's creation.

Samsung Galaxy A3 preview: First look

Today, we get to enjoy the company of the most junior representative of the Samsung's metal-clad A team - the Samsung Galaxy A3. Just like the Alpha smartphone, the A3 offers an aluminum frame, which highlights a lightweight design, built around a...

The Samsung Galaxy A3 seems to have gotten most of the things right. It is a proper midrange offer with solid specs and feature-rich software.

Samsung Galaxy A3 Smartphone Review

A small metal gadget. Samsung uses a slim metal casing for its Galaxy A lineup and had really impressed us with the Galaxy A5, even though the voice quality was not that good. In this report we will see why the Galaxy A3 is good, but not a bargain.

Stylish unibody casing, Very slim and stiff chassis, Extensive software, LTE support, Accurate tracking, Decent camera equipment, Precise input devices, Good screen, Low temperatures, Useful battery life

Screeching speaker, Middling screen resolution, Unsatisfactory voice quality, No 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Battery no longer removable

Basically, Samsung has managed a fantastic comeback with its Galaxy A series. However, this also involves a few losses. The removable battery, for example, has been axed. On the other hand, Samsung has created a first-rate slim unibody casing with a...
