Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) Review

Score: 70.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) is an absolutely amazing cellphone launched back in 2017, which counts with an extremely fast Octa-Core processor speeding at 1.6 GHz, a 4.7" display, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 megapixels front-facing camera. That's all? No, it's only the shortest summary in history.

The A3 (2017) comes with a great 1.6 gigahertz Octa-Core processing unit, bundled in a Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7870 system chip with a large 2 GB of RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a good 16 GB internal storage memory and a slot for an external memory card, allowing the user to store hundreds of applications without any problem.

Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.87 oz cellphone. This phone construction uses Glass and Aluminum . Samsung made this phone in a variety of colors: black sky, blue mist, gold sand and peach cloud. The A3 (2017) is only 5.33" long and 2.61" wide, but it is able to fit a a 4.7" screen. This cellphone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches.

The A3 (2017) has two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and an 8 MP front side camera. This cellphone also captures videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) includes an amazing 720 x 1280 (HD) 4.7" screen, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels taking part of the screen.

This phone counts with Wi-Fi capability (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE-A) ultra fast connection type and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSPA technologies. The A3 (2017) works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

This phone also features a wide range of cool features such as Fingerprint Sensor, NFC, Bluetooth (provides communication with other cellphones and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) uses amassive 2350 mAh non-removable battery that provides this phone an average battery life. An issue to consider is that this phone's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to get older, although with such a great capacity you will probably discard this device before it becomes an issue.

If you are an amateur photographer, will use it as a work phone, want this phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks or will use this cellphone for gaming, this device is probably the correct choice for you.
