Samsung Galaxy A3

I bought my A3 in 2017 and my only criticism until about a year ago was that the battery charge didn't last long. More recently I get constant messages about being critically short of storage. I have an external memory card but most apps need to use internal memory. I have gone through the list of apps and moved storage use to external where possible but the 16Gb of internal memory is very limiting and I have had to delete several apps. I'm still getting the critical messages and am down to what I consider to be my bare minimum of apps. It also seems to be slower than when I first bought it.
Because of the above I need to replace this phone now but the reason I chose it was because of its size and there seems to be very little choice (if anything) which is as small as this. The closest Samsung now is the S10e which is still a little bigger and costs twice as much as I paid for my A3.

I have no idea how reliable this phone was back in the day. In the actual time is utter trash. Lags so much it gets frustrating to use apps, internet surfing is a pain, gets really hot, sometimes it restarts for no reason and battery drains so quick while using internet, apps, etc.
Now I repurposed the A3 as a music player only with some apps as tools and no use of internet at all. Works pretty well now with good battery duration and doesn't heat that much.

Daz, 02 May 2015Need help, ive activated what seems t be a function for bli... moreHahaha ive been there before...i think i can help i still remember some few tips how i got out of that one...
you activated that feature from setting, accessibility if you can manage to use it and go to setting and accessibility and turn accessibility control off your phone will get back to normal...
Heres some tips on how it works since accessibility control is activated...
1.you'll need to double tap or triple tap for everything you wanna select...
2.you'll have to press and hold screen for few seconds in order to swipe or scroll the screen...
3.make sure you listen to that speaking voice carefully while you doing all that,you'll need it to guide you more than you'll need your eyes to look at the screen for you since the phone is set to be used by blind and slightly deaf people...
Let me know if my comment was any help to you...

It's quiet ok, just that it doesn't allow "Display over app settings" bcos of this is so fraustrating and annoying bcos so many important apps requires such settings but it is disabled in Samsung galaxy A3 core. If i would be given a second chance, i will not choose Samsung galaxy A3 core.

I bought this phone in 2015 and i'm so happy with this amazing phone. It lags on running most of the apps nowadays but it's pretty fair.
