AnonD-364021, 26 Aug 2016Read the site that you gave, is it true available internal ... moreYes, Lollipop takes approx 5.5Gb for its system.

This phone has great performance & compact, fits in my hand. Calling, text, instant messaging (whatsapp, bbm), and camera, are good and smooth. GPS position is very fast and accurate. Images in screen are really beautiful, sharp text.

Simple games like Clash of Clan runs smooth and no lag. Pokemon Go runs well, no lag when throwing Pokemon and finding in the wild. I just experienced a frame rate decreasing when opening a gym, but it does not affect the game play. Because it only has 1.5Gb RAM, it cannot run multiple instances of apps or games. If you minimize a game, and run another game, the first game must reload (don't forget to save).

The only drawback is its non-removable battery and small capacity. I always need to charge it full for one day usage. But this is just like other average phones (except the max model that has battery >5000Mah).

      For camera, battery, performance, Antutu, and other things, comparable with A5 2016, see here:

        When I tried to connect my A3 (2016) via Bluetooth to my car (Renault Megane Dynamic) it initially appeared to pose no problem. Once the radio was turned off however not only was the Bluetooth not connected but the radio/CD was totally dead. I checked the fuses (no problem there) and the only way to re-connect the radio was to disconnect and re-connect the battery. This happened several times. A post on the internet suggested that I go to the Android Market, download "Bluetooth File Transfer" a free app, and re-try. This made no difference. My old Samsung S3 mini never gave any trouble when connected via Bluetooth. Looks like I'll have to continue using it when I'm driving the car if I want to use Bluetooth.

              Happy with my A3 2016 with 6.0.1 battery lasts 3 days. camera is ok. very fast and smooth. sometimes the back button acts as the 'more' or 'options' button in the upper right. and every time i turn off and on, i have to set my default messaging app.

                            When I take videos on this phone they seem to have a green line down the right hand side afterwards. Can anyone tell me what this is, can I get rid of it and what causes it?

                                      Because technology keeps improving, the time has arrived, where a mid-range device can satisfy most users with their capabilities. It is very hard to imagine today that the Galaxy S2 was the best phone just a few years ago. But today, it is the same device, just with a few added updates.
