The shape is nice the screen size is ok but it is very heavy heavy heavy and definetly this is NOT an S Series it a lot of things missing also there is not a gyroscope the wifi connection is ok but the screen is always moving up and down when you try to read something. Google maps also is mooving up and down left and right all the time. This is complete waste off money. Why they don't make s series mini any more?

      AnonD-580934, 05 Sep 2016Hi all. My service provider referred me to this phone. Seems great but I'm just sceptical abo... moreA3 2016 has a non removable battery. It means there is a battery inside the phone but can be replaced only by an experienced technician usually in an authorized service center. See here:

      So if your battery become damaged, you could always bring the phone to the service center to get an original battery replacement, not the whole phone replacement.

      For forcing restart in A3 2016, you could press power button and volume down for more than 7 seconds.

          My home button makes rattling noise. It's annoying.

                Nice specs except that 1,5GB RAM, seriously Samsung why you discriminate compact phone users? System takes whole RAM, there's not much space for apps. 2 GB is minimum for comfortable use.

                              Can this phone play PokemonGo smoothly? My a3 2015 lags when line and WhatsApp chat comes in because of the 1gb of RAM. Will the 1.5gb RAM in this one be enough?

                                      My sister has one of these. Must say that the camera on this phone is awful. Even my old S4 mini (8 mp) had batter camera then this thing. Pretty disappointing. Sadly she didn't ask for my advice before she bought it. A5 2016 is far better phone and it is definitely worth those few extra bucks, especially if you intent to use one smartphone for 2 - 3 years. I even managed to get A5 2016 for less money than what my sister payed for hers A3.
