Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) black 16GB 4G, SM-A310FZDADBT

Product Information

In our GFXBench graphics tests the new Galaxy A3 managed 20fps in T-Rex and 8fps in Manhattan, whereas the older model was capable of just 13- and 6fps respectively. Here the Galaxy A3 also beat the Galaxy A5, which scored 14- and 5fps respectively. This will be fine for watching video and playing casual games. Versions: A310F (Europe); A310F/DS (Global Dual-SIM); A310M (LATAM); A310M (LATAM, Brazil); A310Y (Australia, New Zealand). Also known as Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) Duos with dual-SIM card slots Network Current: Android 7.0 "Nougat" with TouchWiz [1] Unofficial: Android 13 "Tiramisu" via LineageOS 20.0

Our final benchmark is the Geekbench 3 battery test, in which the Galaxy A3’s 2,300mAh battery gave a shorter (but still excellent) runtime of 7 hours 24 minutes than the 2,900mAh A5’s 11 hours 46 minutes, but it scored higher with 4709 points against its 4446. You’ll easily get a full working day from this phone – two at a push – but, unlike the A5, the A3 doesn’t support Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging tech. Neither is there any wireless charging tech, and the battery is non-removable. Also see:

Colors aside, the phone’s screen delivers 720 by 1280 pixels of resolution (312 pixels per inch), meaning that graphics and text are sharp enough. I’ve seen much more detailed screens on phones of this tier, but even on the new Galaxy A3, I’ve almost never found image detail to be insufficient or text to be difficult to read.

The A3 2016’s got some pretty tough competition, then, but it’s not a complete right-off before it’s even got out of the gate. In fact, the A3 2016’s quad-core 1.5GHz Exynos 7580 chip and 1.5GB of RAM put up a surprisingly good fight against the OnePlus X’s old Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB of RAM, as our benchmark results weren’t as far apart as you might expect.The Galaxy A3 (2016) was released in China on 15 December 2015, followed by other countries in the 1st Quarter of 2016. As of April 2016, this model is available in Europe, [3] Africa, Latin America and Asia. It is not available in North America and India; there, only Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A7 (2016) are available. [ citation needed] Variants [ edit ] Model
