    Is Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 a good phone?
    fransisca
    over 1 year ago
    The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) is a budget smartphone with a premium look. With a metal frame, Samsung gave its customers the same high-end feel as its Galaxy S line, without them having to burn a hole in their pockets. With such a beautiful design, the Galaxy A3 2016 could even be mistaken for a miniature Galaxy S6.

    Is Samsung A3 2016 still supported?

    That means the 2016 models of the Galaxy A3, Galaxy J1, and Galaxy J3, will no longer receive Android security updates from Samsung this year.

    No the A3 does not have QI charging built in. There are ways of modifying it (Google it) but best not to.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 is a solid update for Samsung’s entry-level A model. It’s as stylish as ever and even has a good battery, but its specs aren’t quite a match for some rivals
