Samsung A3 Galaxy smartphone: description, specifications, owner reviews

Today we will talk about the smartphone, which is defined by the South Korean manufacturer in the product line "Galaxy." The subject of our review is Samsung A3. Well, let's start, as usual, with a little pre-history and positioning the device on the international mobile arena.

Introduction

2014 for the South Korean company was marked by a sharp drop in sales of smartphones in the middle price segment. There were very definite reasons for this. For example, one of them was averaged characteristics that simply did not give rest to potential buyers. It turned out after all as: there are two devices at a similar price, but Samsung offers lower performance compared to another device, even a lesser-known brand. What do you think, in whose favor did the buyer give his decision anyway?

Here already found, where to clear up, Chinese companies like Lenovo and ZTE. Although it would be foolish to speak of little fame even in comparison with the South Korean manufacturer, if one remembers with what ambitions the Chinese made their way to the smartphone market. It is because Samsung started picking up prices for its devices solely because of the company's popularity around the world, that a considerable percentage of the audience turned away from the Koreans by making a turn to the Celestial Empire. Let's just understand one simple thing: the chipsets of the corresponding devices were almost identical, as well as the materials for the manufacture of cases. This should clearly explain why the audience did not want to overpay the money.

Error correction

Samsung Galaxy A3 was developed by the company as a means of returning and increasing sales. It became one of the manifestations of the company's foreign policy in the smartphone market, which was developed for 2015. And what happened, more specifically? We can see that the strategy was reworked by the South Korean manufacturer from start to finish, deciding to abandon the development and delivery to the international arena of a huge number of different models. Instead, it was decided to release in each individual segment a kind of "hero", which, in fact, was supposed to attract attention.

And ahead of the company was a real triumph. The device, released on the international arena of mobile devices, has become really massively acquired in the world, quite popular and very popular. But this, if viewed from the point of view of the exclusively segment. It can not be said that a smartphone could compete with devices from other niches, it would be illogical. Note one very interesting thing: leaving the Samsung A3 reviews, phone buyers often note the supposedly stylish and original design. In fact, there is nothing really original in it, everywhere, from whatever sides and from whatever angles we look at the device, we will see quite typical features inherent in the smartphones of the South Korean manufacturer.

The difference between the ruler models

A-series gives us an idea of the product range, consisting of three different devices: A3, A5, and also A7. The difference between these three devices is, for the most part, exclusively in the hardware. But in addition to it, of course, there is also a diagonal of the screen. Well, more specifically, the smartphone Samsung Galaxy A3 is equipped with a screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches, A5 has 5, and the A7 - 5.5 inches. Otherwise, we will not notice any differences. The design applied to all three devices is absolutely identical, and about the appearance you can say the same. Actually, due to such features, these smartphones have created a single series, which is positioned on the market as a real product line.

Overall

What else can you say about Samsung Galaxy A3 SM presentation in the international arena? Probably, it is necessary to understand simply with a series. The product line "A", which includes the smartphone Samsung Galaxy A3, appears as a line, the devices of which are equipped with the latest version of the operating system at the time of release. The case is made of high-quality, high-quality materials. However, in terms of technical characteristics, these are not the best smartphones. By the way, we'll talk about this in more detail, with reference to the subject of our today's review.

Connectivity

Samsung A3, about which we will mention at the end of this article, works in the GSM and UMTS bands. In addition, the device has a built-in LTE module, which is necessary for the use of fourth-generation cellular networks. To work with the international network, 3G and 4G standards are provided, as well as EDGE and GPRS. The built-in modem can be used to create a Wi-Fi hotspot. It will be able to connect to other smartphones, tablet computers and laptops. Due to the function "Bluetooth" version 4.0, you can exchange multimedia data with the corresponding devices.

The Wi-Fi module works in the b, g, and n bands. In the software Samsung Galaxy A3, reviews about which you can read in the review, there is an E-mail client. Just an indispensable thing for people who are actively using e-mail capabilities. For synchronization with a personal computer, the owner of the phone will have to use a port and a standard MicroUSB-USB 2.0 cable.

Display

The diagonal of the Samsung A300F Galaxy A3 screen is 4.5 inches, as mentioned earlier. Recall that with each subsequent model the diagonal increases by 0.5. With the corresponding parameter, the screen resolution is only 960 by 540 pixels. The matrix is made using Super AMOLED technology, which demonstrates good (although it's impossible to call them better) viewing angles. Color rendering allows the screen to display up to sixteen million colors. The touch screen is a capacitive type. Due to the presence of a function called "multitouch", it is quite convenient to scale an image in some applications.

Cameras

The resolution of the main module is eight megapixels. Thus, the camera gives us good pictures. However, it will, of course, be difficult to name them ideal. Images are obtained in the amount of 3248 by 2448 pixels. There is an auto focus function on the subject. A flash of LED type is built-in close to the module. It allows you to conduct both photography, and video shooting in conditions of either complete absence of lighting, or in case of its critical shortage. At the same time, the images are quite good. The resolution of the video is 1920 by 1080 pixels (the so-called Full HD quality). The smartphone is equipped with a front camera (5 MP). A good option, of course, for fans of pictures "Selfie".

CPU

As a hardware filling, we have a "Qualcomm" chipset. More specifically, it's a Snapdragon 410 model. The device has four cores, which develop a frequency of up to 1.2 gigahertz. Well, the graphics core is none other than Adreno 306.

Memory

To store personal information by default, a little less than 16 gigabytes is provided. This place can be filled with photos, pictures, films, music, video clips, e-books. In general, everything that only the owner of the smartphone wants. The device has a memory capacity of 1024 megabytes. Part of it for yourself selects a greedy operating system, but overall enough memory even for using the smartphone in multitasking mode. The user's shell, like the OS as a whole, works quite smoothly and quickly, there are almost no censures. At times (very rarely) lags and friezes can appear. However, the problem is solved for a long time by means of an ordinary reset of the device. To expand the original volume of long-term memory, a microSD format slot is provided for the corresponding external drives. The maximum supported size is 64 gigabytes.

Conclusion. Samsung Galaxy A3: customer reviews

What can tell us the owners of the device, which acquired it in time and had time to test it? Well, let's listen to the first (and not only) impressions about the smartphone.

At a high level, the voice call was clean in quality and loud in strength of sound. This, in principle, is a hallmark of many, almost all devices of the South Korean manufacturer, there is nothing to be surprised at. Speech interlocutor is well audible, and the owner of the phone - no less well transmitted to the other end of the missing wire. The location of the phones is excellent. Even a noisy environment around will not prevent a successful and understandable telephone conversation. Was it worth talking about a good margin of loudness conversational dynamics? Probably not.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, the model, during the start of official sales, received a cost of 17 thousand rubles. Above the mark, it will hardly rise. Of the disadvantages, it should be noted not the most productive hardware stuffing. Yes, and the functionality of a little limping, to be honest. For the same money, you can find devices much more productive than the subject of our today's review. Another thing is that the hulls will be manufactured not so premiumly, and will not have such reliability. But there will definitely have to choose one of the two chairs, which will subsequently seat a potential buyer.
