A year later, the successors of the Samsung Galaxy A3 and A5 are arriving. More affordable than the Samsung Galaxy S6, they take licked his design and especially its premium materials. Keeping the same name, the 2016 models bring some new side power and features. We took over the Galaxy A3, the most affordable of the two aircraft, sold 309 euros against 409 euros for the A5
At first sight, difficult to make the difference with the Samsung Galaxy S6, the flagship of the brand . Only visual difference, the absence of cardiac sensor present in the flash to the high end. Therefore include the metal edges and the two glass plates (Gorilla Glass 4) at the front and at the rear. Details that we still enjoy, especially at this price. There was not really outstanding, but it is always useful to remember that these new Galaxy A are very nice phones.
Another difference with its predecessor this time, the size of the screen. The new A3 goes from 4.5 to 4.7 inches. A really worthwhile choice for the user, usually large format being more tenacious. Samsung requires, you are entitled to the Super AMOLED HD, which was not the case last year. Therefore it is now faced with a fine resolution, appreciable to the naked eye, of 312 dots per inch.
The manufacturer has therefore been well advised to increase the capacity of the battery, which goes from 1900 to 2300mAh. Endurance A3 version of the Galaxy in 2015 was satisfactory, it is hoped that technical progress will allow him to keep this quality
After the Snapdragon 410 to 1.2 GHz, the South Korean offers this time a Exynos 7578 (his house chip) always four hearts, but this time goes up to 1.5 GHz (always with 1.5 GB of RAM). A difference that should not be anecdotal as our first benchmarks made – on a non-final version – in AnTuTu 5.7
Last year, the A3′s score rose to 20 596. For the year 2016, we reach a result 31 275, an increase of nearly 50% in performance. Side power, so we should be entitled to a solid unit, at least for multitasking and everyday use.
At the grip, the device was very responsive, whether navigate between menus or to open applications. A microSD slot (up to 128GB) reinforces the 16GB of storage. However, the fingerprint reader is reserved to version A5. The Galaxy A3 is equipped with a category 4 4G antenna, against six for the Galaxy A5.
At the interface, TouchWiz overlay looks exactly like in that of the Samsung Galaxy S6, based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. There are several functions that you appreciate, like the ability to launch the camera by tapping twice on the home button. Samsung has also confirmed us that the Galaxy A3 and A5 spend well under Marshmallow, without specifying the date. There will also be a major upgrade during February, the A3, allowing compatibility with connected objects of the Gear range
The camera is also updated compared to the previous generation. We go from 8-13 megapixels, and 5 for the front sensor. The optical stabilizer is however available as the Galaxy A5. On our first pictures, it seems there is a difference of view made quite significant between the two models. Note that these results are preliminary and must be deepened to allow us to draw conclusions.
The Samsung Galaxy A3 – like the Galaxy A5 – should go on sale next week Samsung, then with all operators. Both models will be available in white, black and gold.
