        I am due an update on my A3 and it warns that after the update is installed data may be erased from the phone. Can anyone with this phone tell me if this has happened to them, the lose of of media files, memos, etc?

          Love my 2015 A3...upgrading to the 2016 only offers a 1.5 GHz vs 1.2 and it is slightly heavier... 132g vs 110g....everything else seems exactly the same... worth the money and the effort...hmmm?

            [deleted post]Lol. You're sort of right... My Galaxy A3 (2016) wasn't *UPGRADED* to 6.0.1 - rather, it came with 6.0.1 out of the box.

            Samsung has announced that it WILL be upgraded to 7.x at some point later this year.

Without gaming, only surfing, Facebook and such things, battery can last min. 4-5 days. I wouldn't believe this too if someone said this but i was really surprised with the optimization that Samsung made to this phone. "A" series are really great and i would recommend them to anyone.
