Some smartphones may come with high specs at an affordable price but beware the quality offered in these mobile phones leaves a lot to be desired think twice before buying a smartphone these days,on paper the specs are high but real issue stands in hand use how strong and compact these devices are.

How about a used S6? Will it's battery cause problems??

If you need a device for heavy gaming than you should go for Mi or Moto or Lenevo devices. But as I use only Samsung devices I cannot say real uses of those devices. Alternatively you can try Samsung C9 pro which looks very strong on specs. Last but not least J7 Prime 32 GB version will also be a good choice if it supports the game you want to play. Regards.

But not for games which uses big download such as EA games. Currently I am playing NFS No Limit on my J7 pro which has 16 GB ROM and I left with just about 1.5 GB ROM which is minimum to run Android smoothly. So I will suggest to to go for at least 3 GB RAM, Snapdargon processor and 32 GB ROM g gaming which is now very affordable. Regards.

                              It's a good device, I'm using it for about a year now and it's the best phone I ever had so far in this price range. It doesn't have random resets, no lagging it didn't even froze, like previous phones and i also had samsung and sony phones in this price range that had a lot of problems like this, it has good camera and overall performance, the only downside is the internal storage but it's mannagable and that it's not dust or waterproof and it should have glove mode or something similar. Battery life is average but if you don't play a lot of games it lasts a day or two if you don't use yt etc. display is crisp and sharp with rich colors, readable in almost any light circumstances and it's the phone that I would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend a fortune for a high end device and would like to use it for various daily tasks or the 2017 variant.

It is just below S series which makes it very cool. I got an A5 (2016) in home. As for A3 (2017), the specs looks very good. I don't it has any major fault for a normal user. So, you should try a demo in a nearby store if possible and buy it.

                                Personally I am also not a fan of Moto and Lenevo devices as there are many complaints by authentic users. May be I will buy a Mi Note 4 for just gaming. But Samsung galaxy is for me is part of my life. I was a huge desktop and laptop fan, but Galaxy has given me mobility to roam free. Regards.

                                      1. Open smart Manager and run it.
                                      2. Uninstall unused apps and disabled bloatware which is not used.
                                      3. Go to boot menu and clear the cache partition.
                                      4. Please don't store any music/image/video files on device memory. Move them to memory card.
                                      5. If you find all the above steps too much than do a factory reset after backing up your data to cloud.
