Idah, 25 May 2015Ikr, when i tried it in the store, it's not even better tha... moreIt is blurry i guess. I have the grand too which have 5mp and it is way better than this 5mp. However in 2016, 8mp front camera will be the norm because the trend this year is all 5mp front shooter. Front camera is getting better and better. Some smartphone even have led flash at the front. Bigger megapixel does not make a better camera, it is the camera aperture that make it better. Camera expert always look at the camera aperture value. The best you can get is between F1.9 or F1.8 (lower is better). The megapixel count is just a sale gimmick.

This phone always freezes after playing COC. Once you exit in the game and return to the home screen, it will freeze! It happens to me a lot. I bought my A3 from Dubai 2 weeks since its release,and get disappointed after it first happened. The only solution is for you to wait it to wait for its battery to get drained on the next day! After that it it will restart and can be use again!

Just bought this phone and I am little disappointed. I like the 4G/LTE connectivity, the fast processor and the design is very attractive, but the screen is not sharp enough to warrant the high price tag, especially with several other phones on offer here that offer higher pixel densities for over half the price. That being said it's still a pretty darn good phone, though I wish it had been a little cheaper.

Bought a few weeks ago an A3 in China (SM-A3000 dual). Flashed immediately with HK 4.4.4 firmware. Very happy about performances under 4G network. It's my first Android phone ever, bought to test if I can escape from iPhone prison for good.
Bought I second one in Italy (SM-A3000FU) since I lost the first one :( I rooted it and it works very well. Now I'll try to flash it with 5.0.2 lollipop (there is a Russian version for SM-A3000F). Hope I won't brick it...

Different country gets different version according to Samsung main branch. They decide which variant to sell in which country according to the country purchasing power and gross national income per capita. Macau, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan are among the top ranking in this criteria. Laos,India, Philipines are among the lowest. This goes with all of their different smartphone models. Country with high purchasing power like Hong Kong usually gets the high end version with 4g LTE/LTE-A capability. Country like India usually always get the duos(dual sim) 3g model as dual sim smartphone are popular in that country. Internet speed in various countries are also considered. Hong kong is ranked 2nd in world internet speed, so they get the good stuff. Poland, the one getting lollipop update, ranked 24th in world internet speed. Those in India asking for lollipop update, you guys are ranked 51st in the world. Singapore and Taiwan are a more likely candidate to get the lollipop ota update for being ranked among top 20 in the world. As for the 4g model, country like South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Philipines, Australia and United Kingdom are more likely to have this LTE version. United States too, if Samsung even launch this phone there. These are just some marketing strategy very well calculated and strategized according to various data available by Samsung. Don't blame them. Blame your country instead.
