Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) A320F 16GB LTE Gold

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) the color option is also close to our heart - dark as the Black Sky at night, it makes everything flow together smoothly. On the front, the Super AMOLED display almost merges with the black frame, making the clock of the Always On Display seem to float into the void.

AOD is not the only thing that the Galaxy A3 (2017) loans from the Galaxy S7, the overall design is nearly identical. The front Gorilla Glass has beveled edges, while the one on the back is more thoroughly curved on the sides.

The hardware Home key is also a fingerprint reader that enables Samsung Pay (over NFC or MST, Magnetic Secure Transmission). Samsung is trying to poach would-be iPhone buyers by making the parallels quite clear (as well as the difference in price).

Right off the bat we can think of two deal-breakers. The first is the 13MP camera, which tops out at 1080p video. The lens has a decently bright aperture (f/1.9) but theres no OIS. The 8MP/1080p selfie camera is much closer to the iPhone standard.

The second is the platform - Android 6.0 with Touch Wiz is a bit old. Its not too much to ask that 2017 models dont launch with the 2015 version of Android, is it? The phone is powered by the Exynos 7870 Octa chipset (built on 14nm), which offered stellar battery life in the Galaxy J7 (2016) but not amazing performance.
