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.

Hi, how's multitasking with this phone? it only got 2GB and a bloated UI..
I would consider buying xperia XA1 because of 3GB and very light OS, but there's no fingerprint scanner and waterproofing.
How many apps can it hold in the background without restarting the app.?
