Samsung Galaxy A3 review: chic, compact and pricey

The Galaxy A3, despite the high price, is a worthy option if you re looking for a handy device in the mid-range segment

Apr 13 2015 By Nitansh Rastogi
PROS
  • Unibody metallic design
  • Decent specs
  • Marathon battery
CONS
  • Moderate camera and performance
  • No support for 4G networks
  • Pricey option
Verdict

Like all its offerings, the Chaebol is charging a premium for the Samsung Galaxy A3. The device was launched at the asking price of Rs 20,500, though now it’s available for as low as Rs 18,000. As you might have gauged from our review, the smallest sibling in the brand’s latest Galaxy A series is a decent smartphone, but when we bring its pricing into the picture, then it becomes a difficult case for the A3.The fact that in the recent past, there have been numerous phones which have

samsung need a miracle
19 Feb 2015 By saurabh On flipkart.com

selling 7k hardware worth phone at thrice its price....just because it has a piece of scrap.nnif samsung think it will make a difference,than they are so mistaken.nnwhat wrong with mi4 at this price. In 2 years samsung will be nokia if they keep doing this

My new phone...and I just love it!
21 Feb 2015 By Mohammed Yasser On flipkart.com

Bought this phone recently from a Samsung store. I've been using this for about 2 weeks and I’m pretty much in love with this phone. nWhat I like:n- Sexy and metallic unibody design (unlike the usual plastic design of Samsung)n- Gorgeous 4.5” Super AMOLED display, with Gorilla Glass 3n- Responsive touch, no lags at alln- Excellent battery lifen- Very low SAR value, about 0.34, among the lowest you’d find in any phone. iPhones have SAR values above 1.n- Noise-cancelling microphonesn- Non-removable battery – I don't like the hassle of removing the battery to insert the SIM/microSD cardn- KitKat 4.4.4 with 1 GB RAM, 16 GB of storagen- The 5 MP front camera on this phone is just outstanding. The Grand Prime also has a 5 MP camera, but the colors and the quality of images/video are far better in Galaxy A3. I've compared the front cameras of both the phones in the store. A friend also commented that my front cam was really good during a Skype video call. nnWhat I didn't like:nHonestly, there’s nothing that I dislike about this phone. I do wish the phone was slightly thicker – it’s so thin that you sometimes feel it may slip out of your hand. The volume levels are good but could have been better. And the vibration is not as strong as I'd have liked.nnAlthough the Moto G is also a good phone, it's SAR value is almost 1.5 (check the Motorola forum). The camera's on my A3 are also far better than the ones on the Moto G. As for Xiaomi Mi 4, there are so many negative reviews - I'm glad that I went for a trustworthy brand such as Samsung. nIf you're still unsure, check out the A3's review on GSMArena.
