Review: Small, functional and so pretty! Camera isn’t amazing though. - In a world of six and a half inch phablets, Ninety-five percent screen to body ratios, 3.5mm headphone jacks consigned to the dustbin and fingerprint sensors on the back the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 is a refreshing change. This is a small and lightweight phone With the fingerprint sensor on the front, Something I desperately need With my arthritis (no, I'm not ancient, I'm only thirty-four). It manages to look stylish, quite like an iPhone and the choice of actually having colours other than black white or silver is great, I went for Peach cloud (pink) and I am very happy with the looks. This won't Set any speed records For performance but it doesn't feel slow either. The AMOLED screen is a pleasure to use and very nice at this price point And the Samsung experience software has lots of great features built-in. The fingerprint sensor on the front, headphone jack, USB-C port, Micro SC card slot and FM radio are lovely practical inclusions For normal human beings who actually want to get the best functionality out of their smart phone. To anyone looking for a small, inexpensive but stylish Android phone I would heartily recommend the A3 2017! Edit: I will add the only gripe with this phone, the camera. The stabilisation on the image is not good so you have to have a very steady hand or you will end up with a blurred photo.
Review: So far so good - I've been using the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) for almost 2 months now, and so far, so good. No complaints from me, and better than my previous mobile. I like the size (which is the same as my previous one), and the length of battery life amongst other things. As is it is still fairly new, I am sure there are more things for me to discover, but at this stage I would highly recommend it.
