It has a metal unibody.
Re the comment about the phone not switching on : try pressing the volume down button and the power on buttons at the same time and hold them on for 10 seconds .This cured my A3 which would not switch on a quick google or youtube search will give you more info on this soft reboot solution. hope it works out for you I have had this phone for around 5 years or so and thought it was dead for good turns out to be a great phone in my opinion
After 4 years now the MIC is going bad. People cant not hear me good without using speaker phone. I will change it.

My uncle is using this phone from 2015 till today continuously but now a days it is not working properly. Anything he uses in mobile the mobile will hang.
If anyone knows how to correct this problem please tell. Thanks!
I bought it in July 2015, and after nearly 5 years of daily use, I would say that it is the best phone that I have ever had.
Anonymous, 25 Nov 2019Really? :O Me too :) I'm an extreme user, so the phone's life is VERY hard! I'm charging it ... moreme too. i already using this phone for 5 years. and still working properly. once it get repaired bcs of virus and it was free repairing at samsung service center.
this phone is not ok reason, repairing is a big problem it cost a lot so don't like it useless
The 2017 Version with USB-C is probably the best and most cost-efficent phone you can get if all you are doing is basic phone function.
Charges fast, lasts long, makes decent pictures. All you need
Decent enough phone. I've got the A300FU, which has 1.5GB RAM (opposed to all other models' 1GB) and 16GB of internal storage, which I boosted with a 128GB microSD card.
Mine came on Android 5.1.1, Samsung updated it to 6.0.1. Fun fact, Samsung overclocked the processor in these from 1.2 to 1.4GHz just so it could run with all the bloat they crammed into their reskin of Android, "TouchWiz".
This phone was limited to Android 6..1 Marshmallow, but via LineageOS and TWRP, this phone can do much more; I had it running 7.1.2 Nougat, 8.1 Oreo, and my specific example runs 9.0 Pie, and it handles it without much struggle.
If you have one of these devices, do consider making your life easier by installing LineageOS 14, 15, or 16 (Android 7, 8, 9, respectively). It isn't even hard.
ipolit.matveich, 22 Nov 2019I am using this phone as my work phone for 5 years. Everything works fine, but I am using it o... moreReally? :O
Me too :)
I'm an extreme user, so the phone's life is VERY hard! I'm charging it 3 times a day.
But it is "unbreakable" phone. I called it "Samsung's Nokia"
Good phone for "beginners" :)
I am using this phone as my work phone for 5 years. Everything works fine, but I am using it only for callings and emails. Recently I installed MS launcher and it is OK.
I chose that phone, because of its form factor and I don't regret.
President Duterte, 21 Oct 2019Well actually, This is my phone right now. And I think this is one of the best.been using this phone for 5 years already..works just fine for me haha
Well actually, This is my phone right now. And I think this is one of the best.
This phone has a metal unibody, contrary to the specifications posted here. Why does this website say that it is a metal back, contrary to every other tech site. I should know because I own this phone, use it without a screen protector and it has nary a scratch on its back. Can you tell me that this is how plastic behaves?
