Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) Review

Score: 68.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) is a very solid cellphone released many years ago, counting with an extremely powerful 1500 megahertz Quad-Core processor, a 4.7" screen, and 2 cameras, a 13 megapixels back side camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) comes with an extremely fast 1500 MHz Quad-Core processor, bundled in the Samsung Exynos 7 Quad 7578 chip and a great 1,5 GB of RAM. A nice point of this cellphone is the 16 GB quite large internal storage and an SD memory slot, which allows you to store hundreds of games and apps without running out of space.

This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone like this. The A3 (2016) is only available in 16 777 216 color. Even though the A3 (2016) is only 5.3" long and 2.57 inches wide, it's able to fit a a 4.7 inches screen. This cellphone is very thin and practical, being just 0.29 inches thick. Talking about its body design materials, this device is mainly created with Glass and Metal .

This device includes an astonishing 720 x 1280 (HD) 4.7 inches screen, which makes all images and videos look vivid and colorful.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) counts with wi-fi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a wireless router), LTE (4G) fast connection type and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSPA and HSUPA technologies. This device uses a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) features two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. It also films videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps.

The A3 (2016) has a big 2300 mAh Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that provides this phone a quite long battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to lose capacity, although with such a big battery you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

This phone also features a lot of interesting characteristics such as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories), GPS Localization and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

No matter if you are looking for a cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, want a work cellphone, you love taking pictures or are looking for a cellphone to play tons of games, this phone is probably a great option for you.
