Samsung has recently launched two new smartphones from their budget-friendly lineup, Galaxy A3 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017) in UK. The devices will retail at £279 and £369 and different plans can be found with different carriers. Both Galaxy A3 (2017) and A7 (2017) will be available in three different colors of Blue Mist, Black Sky and Gold Sand.
Galaxy A3 (2017) will sport a 4.7-inch 720 x 1280p Super AMOLED resolution display. It will be equipped by Exynos 7870, paired with a Mali-T830 GPU with 2GB RAM. A 13 MP main and an 8 MP selfie shooter adorn the device. The smartphone is powered by 2350 mAh battery and is compatible with the Samsung Pay platform, which allows users to make payments through their smartphones. In addition, it will have IP68 certification.
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) will have a 5.2 inch Full HD resolution display. Under the hood it will pack Samsung’s own Exynos 7880 processor that accompanies a 3GB RAM and 32GB on internal storage that can be extended via the microSD card. The camera is one of its impressive features with both a 16MP front facing and main camera. The device will be powered by a 3000mAh battery.
Budget smartphones make up to be one of the major lineups for Samsung. In the last few years Samsung has picked up its game for their entry-level and mid-range smartphones. Usually the company used to focus more on their high-end flagships but this trend has changed due to increased competition. Rival brands started offering better specs in budget smartphones which threw Samsung off their game. With their A-Series, J-Series and C/C Pro series the company has ensured that they provide the best specs with an affordable price point.
