I really loved this phone as I am against huge-secreened modern phones. It looks great, but after 7 months of use I'm giving up.
I thought it was a keyboard lag... then I thought it was Lollipop, but after the update the lag was less frequent but was still there. It's not a touchscreen problem... I've tried different keyboards and it happens anyway. While using whatsapp/Telegram/Allo or any chatting app, the keyboard becomes extremely laggy and it's impossible to type withouth getting an awful result.
After all the updates, wiping cache, resets, different keyboards, freezing apps, debloating the phone... the problem will never go away, because 1.5 gb ram is not enough to have a smooth performance... everytime the phone is demanded it gets hot and laggy...
The only solution I found everytime it gets hot and therefore laggy is shutting off the phone until it's cold again.
It was an expensive midranger, and I feel disappointed to see that the J series work better...

AnonD-628866, 05 Jan 2017great little phone. worth every penny. i'm downgrading from... moreYour comment makes me cringe. This phone is slower than iPhone 5, so specs aren't as good. You just don't know anything about tech and think only cores and megapixels matter. But I think you will open your eyes after no more than one year. I also once downgraded from iPhone 5 to Xperia M4 Aqua. Thought it will be better but nope, midrange just doesn't come close to flagships, especially if the flagship is an iPhone which doesn't get slow after 4 years, still gets updates and works like on day one (or maybe little slower but then again with the latest and greatest OS, apps and features)

And if you still want to pay such money, you can get a phone multiple times better.

The A3 (2016) has been in my pocket for some heavy duty kitchen services, taken a beating, has never been confused about 4g or wifi so to all you haters, maybe you need to just check what you need from a phone. I paid $400NZ for my phone upgrading from an S3 mini I had for 3 years (and still works, just not as well as my A3) and same cost. Better sound from the direct speaker, faster connections to points, 4G is super fast when on wi-fi. Camera, just as good as S3 and that was amazing.

A really nice compact phone, unfortunately it uses a hybrid SIM-MicroSD slot. Is there any other options for a phone in this size with dedicated microSD slot and dual SIM?

AnonD-560564, 08 Jan 2017Are u stupid or what?this a3 is a midrange phone which will... morehello, all phones can last long if well taken care of ...even flagship phones cannot last you a lifetime. it just don't cramp up your phone with too many unnecessary apps man even flagship phones will slow down. it won't suddenly slow down after 1 year. have u seen this happening? Suddenly phone slow down?? Of coz performance won't be as great if u going to compare to newer models. pure common sense.

This is one of the best mobile to date. Still going strong no hanging issues, no lag and fast also. In fact performs even better than some of the latest mobiles..stable, good battery life most of all an all rounder phone. Great piece of art and technology. Highly recommended. I cant find another handset similar to this...Thumbs up

great little phone. worth every penny. i'm downgrading from an iphone 6s plus and i dont regret it. it's easy to handle though it's really slippery. i recommend you put it in a silicon case as soon as you can. the design is beautiful and the specs are similar to what i had in my iphone. it's super easy to root. it's fast, the camera makes good pictures, the sound is better than i expected. i used to have a s4 mini and the sound was terrible. i would recommend it to anybody and it's a shame they dont sell it in Canada. instead we only get the lousy J3. I had to order it from ebay. it works perfectly with bell, virgin, rogers or fido.
