Ever since the Galaxy Alpha gave us a first glimpse of what Samsung could do with a metal-framed smartphone, we've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of its new all-metal A series. The Galaxy A3 is the smallest and cheapest in the range, but it's by far one of Samsung's best-looking phones to date.

I've only had the phone for a few days and it just gets better and better. The screen is crystal clear, it feels solid and it does everything I want from a phone. For a phone that is small and compact the battery life is surprisingly good, lasts all day long.

Giving birth to the A series has been a bold step from Samsung, influenced from its metal lined Note 4 and Alpha getting a high acceptance rate. Its becomes like the story of a wimpy kid that calls for help faking a tiger lurking around, when there is none-all for attention.

Light and strong; Stylish metal uni-body design; Smooth swift interface

Comparatively expensive; Noisy low light camera performance; Screen isn't HD; Optional Dual SIM/expandable storage capability; Doesn't support OTG

very good......................................... very good.

Samsung has its A-series handsets out and we have got both the Samsung Galaxy A5 and Samsung Galaxy A3 up for review. While we have just reviewed the Samsung Galaxy A5 , we now have our hands on its younger sibling, the Samsung Galaxy A3.

Samsung Galaxy A3 is a junior member of the company's new metal-clad lineup and it is the least likely to challenge the Alpha-dog but...

the look is amazing. great camera and the phone looks amazing too. really good pay off for the money spent

The Galaxy A3, with its 4.5in screen, is the smaller version of the very similar Galaxy A5. It's a great-looking alternative to the bigger Samsung flagship phones, but should you buy one? Find out in our Samsung Galaxy A3 review.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 is light weight smartphone with a full metal body. This dual SIM handset is powered by qualcomm snapdragon 64 bit quad core processor running Android KitKat over a 4.5 inch sAMOLED screen with qHD resolution.
