The phone runs on Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow and has an internal storage of 16GB that can be extended upto 256GB upon using a MicroSD storage. The A3 has a front mouthed fingerprint scanner along with a sizeable 2350 mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) also comes equipped with IP68 water and dust resistance - a first of its kind feature as far as the Samsung A series is concerned. Other than that, the phone also has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.2, A-GPS, NFC and ANT+ Support.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 aims to cater to mid-range buyers and provides a sleek design and a responsive touch screen to give the customers a more interactive experience. The phone is slated to hit the Indian market later this month and the new Galaxy A3 (2017) price in India is expected to be around 17,999 INR.

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) review

Samsung has created another solid mid-range smartphone contender, and this one looks and feels more like its high-end brothers than ever. It’s got an all-metal rim, a familiar curved ‘3D Glass’ back, and even a slightly shimmery effect to its front bezels. You even get IP68 certification, which means that the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 is as resistant to water and dust ingress as its big brother.

The 3D Glass back is more than just a visual flourish-it ensures that the phone sits nicely in the curve of your hand.read more →
  • Galaxy S7-like design
  • Excellent battery life
  • Water and dust resistant
  • 720p display underwhelms
  • Samsung software still sub-par
  • Camera yields mixed results
