The nearest relative is the Jpro gold for half the price

Anonymous, 24 Jun 2019shit phone, had: ppl couldn't hear me when purchased ... morei don't wanna sound bad.. but, if you had bad experience with A3 2017, doesn't mean every single unit of them would face the same fate like yours.. example, mine is old over one year, the battery is brilliant, 2 days with medium-heavy usage, 3 days light using, so far i haven't even one single trouble with this phone, so an advice, don't fool other peoples just because you had bad experience with it

I can't fig o... morewell one of the possible problem is your carrier operator, the second problem can be, the other version(s) of A3, there's few versions depends on the region where you live, my version is the EU version with number: SM-A320FL, it is important that you know your version, sometimes this plays big role for updates, however is still pretty weird, passed 6 months since you haven't did updates, in case you have the same EU version as mentioned above, isn't going to hurt, to contact the Samsung, and tell them about it, 6 months is too much i think

I wanted a (relatively) compact Android phone at a price, there was nothing sold in the U.S. that was a fit, so I bought the UK version off of ebay for $200 from a U.S. seller...new in a sealed box...works great on the A. T. & T. network, the only issue is that wi-fi calling is not supported in U.S. (I think only supported by certain carriers in the countries where the phone is officially sold) and I need wi-fi calling as I am in a bad reception area...but I found a workaround with the Hangouts app from Google, you just use the Hangouts dialer, works perfect.

Anonymous, 07 May 2019Ok thanks found it....:D . Pleasure.
The reason I chose this phone was because of its connectivity.
After all I want a phone and the A3 2017 connects to everything you can get at the moment.
Mine has Android 8.0 and is on Hutchinson 3G and it is basically a flagship destroyer.
Sound is good and loud and the call quality is excellent on WiFi and the cellular network.
64GB card is too much storage but I fitted the card anyway.
Samsung converts all my music to whatever format it uses and compresses my WAV files , so I have 50 or so albums and still 75% of storage on card left.
OK it is not a gaming phone and the camera is just a camera and the GPS is not fully loaded but I wanted a phone.
Video calls on Duo are cool and the battery lasts ages.
Samsung made a big mistake in stopping making this phone and all their new budget phones are not as good as the A3 2017 and to get the same connectivity and all the rest you have to pay much more.
IP68 / Fingerprint / VoLTE / Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band WiFi Direct hotspot / NFC / 4G / USB 2.0 Type-C 1.0 all for £180 !
If Samsung made this phone 5G it would be perfect for a long time for me.
