First experience with the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017: luxury little one – All About Phones

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 is the smallest in Samsung’s 'premium mid-samsung Galaxy A-line. The phone will be available soon on the market and in this hands-on view we have of what he has to offer.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 has clearly familiegezicht that we Samsung know. A home button with finger print scanner at the front under the screen and a glass front and back. That back is of the so-called 3D glass, which means that he can do a little running around to the edges. This is the unit what is nicer in the hand. What also helps is that the phone with 4.7-inch screen is relatively small. Something that is becoming more part of Samsung’s design language seems to be the sealing against water. There picks this Galaxy A3 2017 the fruits of: the phone is IP68-certified for water resistance up to 1.5 meters depth.

Issues

A number of the biggest problems of the Samsung Galaxy A3 from last year are in this 2017 version resolved. A finger print scanner now belongs to the standard equipment and the relatively weak hardware of last year also has a boost. The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 is equipped with a achtkernige Exynos 7870 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz with in addition to 2GB ram. As far as I am now I can try and estimate this is sufficient to power the unit quickly and easily by the daily use to pilots.

A problem that is not solved is related with the screen. That is, in terms of colors, brightness and contrast is very good thanks to the use of amoled technology. About the resolution and the sharpness, I am not so to speak. The resolution of 720×1280 pixels is not brilliant, and the PenTile-pixel format makes the sharpness in practice but less. Therein runs the phone really behind.

Samsung Galaxy A3 2017: software and camera

The software of the Galaxy A3 2017 is unfortunately still no Android 7.0 Nougat. The new android version is a while out, but Samsung has him not yet implemented in the new smartphones. That comes later with an update. However, Samsung has its TouchWiz interface for this new device a little pulled tight and with a few extras, such as a blue-light-filter. It is still not my favorite Androidschil, but he is getting better and better.

The cameras of the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 are on paper reasonable standard. 8 megapixel on the front; the 13 megapixel on the back. The results of the camera’s drop seem at first glance quite good, but there really is something to say about it, I would phone longer need to try.

Small and luxury

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 knows a good first impression to make. The smartphone is relatively small; that is still more unique in the smartphone market. In addition, he is luxurious; high-quality design and super amoledscherm wear a lot of. That the phone is waterproof is a nice extra. The only disappointment is the screen resolution: which had a really higher liked. And the price a bit lower, if possible. For although the A3 2017 is a good device, it is €329 on the expensive side for what it has to offer.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 will on 3 February 2017 in the Netherlands.
