wolf, 14 Jul 2016guyz should i buy this phone because some people have a problems with the screen after a monthMy screen started playing up within 5 weeks. Customer service from Samsung do not want to know. Do not buy this phone or any other Samsung products. Just go online and Google their customer service ratings (80+% give them 1 star).

Anonymous, 19 Aug 2016This is not like the s series, s4 mini that i also have was much better for sure. I have this ... moreIn GSM Arena, S7 mini status was canceled, so you could find another phone.
Sure A3 2016 is heavier than many smaller phones (less than 4.7"), but A3 2016 has lighter weight compared to J3 2016 (5") and almost has the same weight with Xperia Z3 compact (4.6").
Regarding browser rendering problem, maybe your Internet connection is slow. So, the page was displayed early before the data transmission has been completed. After the browser receive another part of the page, the browser will renew displaying page again. This will happen on Google Maps too.
For browsing, you could try browser that render in their server, such as UC browser or Opera Mini.
In my phone with fast 3G/4G Internet connection, there is no problem with browser rendering. I use original browser too but UC browser is my favorite. Google Maps runs smooth without problem. Inside a car or outdoor, GPS position locks very fast (5-10 seconds) accurately.

This is not like the s series, s4 mini that i also have was much better for sure. I have this phone for few months now and i am very desapointed wirh it, first of all it is very very heavy second when i open the internet the screen is mooving up an dawn aĺl the time the same thing hapens when i use google mabs always mooving up and dawn or turning around the battery life hardly last for a day. (Still mising my old sonny ericson k770i) on that one the battery last for 3 to 4 days that was a real phone to trust to travel with any where in the world.
If samsung is not going to make an S7 mini i am not going to buy a samsung again.

I got this phone yesterday and I am satisfied. A3 2016 is a very good phone for everyday phone (not for gaming). Even I shake the phone, there is NO rattle noise from the button like other user wrote here. The design is awesome.
RAM memory management is efficient. Running Lollipop, it has free 600MB+ RAM without additional application, out of the box. With Whatsapp, BBM, and other applications are running in the background, it still has 370MB free RAM for browsing, etc. You could compare with other 1.5GB or even 2GB RAM phone that usually full of bloatwares and has lower free RAM for additional applications.
Although it has only HD resolution, not full HD, lower resolution means faster. See YouTube for proving. Camera is very good, just like J5/J7 2016 in quality. Auto-brightness works well.

I had iPhone 5 & switched to A3. A3 is a very good choice because of it's bigger screen & design. So I do recommend you to take A3. However, if you can take biggest iPhone, don't hesitate to do it. Android is super insecure compared to iOS, and this reason alone is enough to stay to iPhone if you can afford Apple
