The Samsung Galaxy A3 2015 Samsung will deliver a beautifully designed smartphone for relatively little money. Whether this succeeds Samsung read in this review.
When we test the A3 last year, we found a very nice smartphone but we were there to notice some important things on your head. For example, we found not great the specifications of the device, and certainly not for the actual price. The performance and comprehensive software we liked or another plus point of the smartphone.
The price and the idea has not changed after the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016. The price is the same as the Galaxy A3 last year, and the Galaxy A3 2016 still has the beautiful aluminum frame that is typical for smartphones in the A-line. All the rest was completely changed. Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 features a 4.7-inch HD AMOLED screen, a 2300mAh battery, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixelselfiecamera, 7 Exynos quad-core processor and 1.5 GB memory. Knowing that the smartphone will cost at least € 265, we are a bit disappointed. However, specifications say of course not everything.
Just like the Samsung Galaxy A5 in 2016, the Galaxy A3 2016 comes in a white box resembling that of the Samsung Galaxy S6. In the box is the device, an adapter, micro USB cable and a headset which audio properly. Everything you need, so present in the box.

Design
The Galaxy A3 last year we found a very nicely designed smartphone. Galaxy A3 Samsung 2016 this design has been enhanced. We find that the new Galaxy A3 looks great. Logically, the smartphone has a similar design as that of the Galaxy A5 in 2016, but slightly smaller.
The smartphone is made of glass and aluminum, no more or less than that. Thanks to the glass smartphone looks good, and the aluminum rim reinforced this look only. Also, the aluminum frame ensures that the unit is in hand. The smartphone is so small that it is manageable for almost everyone. The aluminum rim is a small difference in level which makes for a nice effect. We may stabbing a micro SD card in the Galaxy A3 2016, makes us happy.
The glass on the front and back of the device has a small rounding at the sides. This makes it feel pleasant to sweep the screen from the edge and hold your smartphone. The edges feel by completing 'soft' on. What we miss Galaxy A3 in 2016, is a fingerprint scanner. Galaxy A5 was it incorporated into the Home button, and not to the A3. This is not a disaster, though the smartphone in our opinion there may have knowing how much you pay for it.
Samsung has divided the control of the smartphone on the left and right side of the smartphone, which we find a good placement. Underneath you'll find a speaker and micro USB port again. We can already say that Samsung has succeeded in its main goal for the Galaxy A3 2016: delivering a beautifully designed smartphone.
Screen
The screen of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 is not bad, but had better liked. We find that no longer belong 720p panel on a smartphone of nearly € 300.

Anyway, the screen is certainly in order. We think it's a shame that you can see easily sit pixels. The viewing angles, brightness and color reproduction of the screen are indeed. And a benefit for people with smaller hands, or simply do not want a great smartphone, is that the device remains compact thanks to its 4.7-inch screen.
Achievements
Regarding the performance of the Samsung Galaxy A3 in 2016, we are in the bush: they are not great. We would like to have different, but it is what it is. Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 includes a not so powerful 1.5GHz Exynos 7588 quad-core processor with 1.5 GB RAM. To briefly summarize: On paper, the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 not great, but good. Of course saying specifications are not always everything, but as mentioned earlier, this is true in the case of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016.
The smartphone performance is not great
Daily use is usually not a problem, you'll have to learn to live only that the smartphone more than once crashes. Especially when you use heavier apps, or to you multitask between multiple apps. Gaming goes to the unit, startup takes longer than average. Somehow we find the poor performance is not a problem. Until we remember that your minimum € 265 to pay for the Galaxy A3 2016. you can easily buy a cheaper smartphone for the money of the Galaxy A3 which performs better.

The device is a 2300mAh large battery. Just as you would expect, the unit performs a bit below par. Personally, we do have to come through with average use ending with 5% the day without much trouble. Only this sounds better than it really is: namely, we took less than 3 hours of screen-on time of the device. When you heavier use of your smartphone, you need to hang it on the charger somewhere mid-day.
Software
Not just the Galaxy A3 2016 resembles the Galaxy A5 2016 in design, including the smartphone software is almost identical. This means that the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with TouchWiz skin from Samsung about it. Like other Samsung smartphones you notice the presence of the skin easily. Many stock elements are not found, and you get the standard pre-installed applications on Samsung. Here are some useful applications in between, such as the Microsoft Office applications, and useless apps such as S Health.
Fortunately, the software runs smoothly on the smartphone, and there is, in our opinion altogether easy to live with. We think it's just a shame that there are some features that you have on the Galaxy A5, not on the A3. So we miss as the ability to multitask in split-screen. For the rest we are very satisfied with the software of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016.
The 16GB of internal memory in the smartphone, hold approximately 10GB when you take the A3 from the box. If this is not enough, you can always expand the memory with a micro SD card up to 64GB.
multimedia
As usual on a Samsung smartphone, have a range of multimedia applications out of the box available at the Galaxy A3 2016. All of these applications are designed in the same, simple TouchWiz style.
We'd found a larger speaker on the A3 because we would cover him less quickly. Though we must admit that the sound quality certainly does not disappoint. Sound even at higher volumes appear clear and sharp. The only problem is formed when you hold the smartphone in landscape mode: you cover quite quickly complete speaker because he is so small.
Regarding the camera software of the device, we are very satisfied. Like the Galaxy A5 in 2016, the camera application on the A3 is easy and clear to use. The range of functions in the application, we are a bit limited. So we miss include a slow-motion function.
Pictures taken show with the 13-megapixel rear camera of the Galaxy A3 2016 is not great. They usually look rather gray and contain few details because you can take better pictures with less expensive smartphones, we are performing the rear camera of the Galaxy A3 2016 par.
The story at the selfies, you take in a 5-megapixel resolution, Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 camera sample non feather same as in the pictures you take with the back camera of the device: they look pale and barely contain details. We're a little disappointed with the camera performance of the Galaxy A3 2016. Most of Samsung allows you to take beautiful pictures with its smartphones, and especially if you buy a slightly more expensive smartphone. Why this is not the Galaxy A3 in 2016, remains a mystery.
Filming is done in up to Full HD. These images look okay, but are not very stable due to the lack of optical image stabilization.
When you buy a smartphone in the middle, you want to have a device that performs well. Especially when you pay the price of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016. Because the smart phone is so expensive, we find his performance as poor. For the average user, he'll just be powerful enough, but there is at least one application completely crashes daily, we do not accept this unit. Also, the camera and battery performance of the smartphone had better liked and we'd found a fingerprint scanner.
