Just got this phone (Y/DS variant) set up with AT&T in the United States. I love it. My last phone was the Alpha, which I loved when I first got it, but in its last year I had to yank the battery 3x daily.
This phone is everything I wished the Alpha had been. Very fast, not crash prone, long battery life, and the over-bright notification LED is gone, replaced with an elegant always-on display. I'm getting good LTE 4G, despite not having band 20.
A note on bringing a phone like this to AT&T: Do NOT use the phone's true IMEI. Use the IMEI of a genuine made-for-AT&T Samsung phone instead (especially helpful if you're decommissioning one, which I was). The IMEI in AT&T's database does not need to match your hardware (only the SIM needs to), but they will not "provision" 4G LTE or visual voice mail to your phone, despite the capabilities. You will be limited to their 3G H+ data network and classic (Dial 1) voice mail if your IMEI is not in their "approved 4G devices" range, and this import won't be.

I'm interested on the Galaxy A3 2017 phone. Specs wise it seems very good on that front. But I have been hearing some issues like:
1. USB Type-C is of the 2.0 version and not the faster 3.0?
2. Strange speaker placement making the sound tinny?
3. Blue light filter not baked in on the quick shortcuts?
4. Overall screen quality poor in direct sunlight &/or has poor sunlight readability?
5. Camera photo quality is slightly poorer/inferior to previous models? No image stabilisation even on 1080p 30fps?
6. Multitasking and apps still reload pointing out to poor memory management?
Can someone please confirm or advice? Thanks.

But whenever I poke the back of the device or even place it on the table it makes the sound if something would be loose in the phone.

All my phones have the same sound when using the camera. especially my Lumia phones. that just means that you have an optical focus and not a digital one.
