I just got this phone about 2wks ago. I downloaded apps. And then it just started freezing and even the camera loaded like forever. I reset the phone, downloaded, same thing happened.then i figured out it was the facebook app. Uninstalled it and the phone worked fine. But everytime i download it, it just takes too long and phone freezes again and the download just wont complete. Is this phone specific or the problem is just with the app? Sorry that was dragging....

Using a300m variant 4 about a month with 4.4.4 (my carrier not updatingto llollipop yet). If you once used a Motorola motog 3/g4g/E4g, you are gooing to agree with me that the A3 has LAG. Sometimes significant for this cchipset and price range. I'm very dissapointed with samsung A3. It's not all about beauty. I bought this phone because it was the best choice in terms of price/specs (not usual to have 16gb of storage on board in a mid range). There are no custom roms, no vanilla android for this one and no support of cyanoge.... Any suggestions guys?... Should i Update manually to lollipop?. NOTE TO GSMARENA: YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN IN THE REVIEW OF THE A3, THAT THERE AREA FEW MORE VARIANTS OF THE SAMSUNG A3 with LTE, NFC.... but with less ram to. I bought this one considering it would handle 1.5 gb of ram... But not. Just 1gb... So please, be carefull in the time of reviewing. Sory 4 my english. Not my primary language. Best regards!

Update...
Upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.2 on my own. Everything works fine. User Interface is much more modern.
Seems to be managing with 1GB Ram.
Battery does heat up quite a bit with use - eg: if you are browsing or using the camera. I've noticed it depends on how you charge the Battery. Don't use the phone whilst charging... Preferably pull out the charger as close to/before 100% charge, do not leave charger on overnight.
I've noticed many Samsung phones do not have much charge 100%-90% ...Battery drains quickly, thereafter, takes longer..
Waiting on the Samsung S6 mini. Hopefully Samsung will launch it, like many of my friends, I find the 5inch screen phones too large to pocket.

Anonymous, 16 Oct 2015anyone know how to open iot to access the expandable memory You use the 2nd sim slot to expand the memory but then you can only use 1 sim. Small hole on the side of the phone to eject the sim slot & insert sd

I love this phone EXCEPT how I wish I would have gotten the 300fu model with 1.5 gig ram rather only 1 gig model. Build quality is awesome luxurious! All the teviews that say it doesn't lag....that depends! #1 Keep your wifi off as much as possible #2 don't try upgrading to another/better lockscreen. I've tried them all slows it down. Went back to stock.
if you like a smaller thin very well built phone that feels premium & fits great in your pocket AND you won't be using wifi too often then this right phone for you! Using wifi a lot? I'd look elsewhere. My s4 mini way better wifi wise but not the same build quality nor call quality. This does have excellent call quality as well.
