Samsung Galaxy A3 and A3 Duos review: A-ddictive

23 January 2015

I mean if you use WiFi and browse the net, make some phone calls, use Viber and watch a few videos.

BTW, have you tested the GPS? Considering it comes with GLONASS and BeiDou, I was wondering how fast and accurate is the GPS module.

Also I heard that the UI is pretty light and snappy. Is it still fast after you install some apps?

Thanks

          I already lost my appetite to 'Sammy' no more exciting features. Nowadays other models from midrange developers/manufactures has great potential specs in their handsets or models yet so much fun entering to a new world of smart phones. Bye 'Sammy'.

                          In last year, Samsung earned lower profit that they did expect. So to increase their profits, they increased the effect of planned obsolescence with using non-removable batteries. So you're enforced to buy new phones (or pay for services to replace battery, if they replace it at all) in every 2 years.
