New Delhi, December 5 – The Samsung Galaxy A3 is the company’s latest gambit to takeover the mid-range smartphone market which it has lost to a number of Chinese and Indian smartphone vendors. While the phone has not been launched in India, GSMArena , a popular technology portal has given it the hands on treatment.
Going by their analysis, the phone appears to be a leap in terms of hardware. Samsung traditionally has been weak in terms of hardware and design, but now after falling behind it is starting to improve.
High-end phones like the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4 brought a new metal industrial design, and the great news is that the same ID is trickling down to lower end phones like the Galaxy A3.
It is pretty slim at 6.9mm and weighs lesser than the iPhone 5S at 110 grams. Also Read: Galaxy Alpha Review: the most beautiful Samsung phone ever Unlike its previous offerings, the A3 is quite well packed in terms of features.

It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat running Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and offers niceties like a microSD slot and a dual-SIM functionality, which appeal to people at the low end of the market. Clearly, looks like Samsung has finally a phone that may appeal to person who may opt for the Moto G.
