Samsung Galaxy A3 Core

Overview

Reviewed by Priyanka Singh · Senior Consumer-Tech Editor

The Samsung Galaxy A3 Core is Samsung's take on a value-focused smartphone, built around ram of 1 GB, storage of 16 GB, display of 5.3 inches, 720 x 1480 pixels.. For daily driving, calls, social apps and photos it should hold up well. On the other side, power users should weigh the chipset and battery against heavier alternatives. Below you'll find the full specifications, live prices across stores, our editor's verdict, and a quality-checked refurbished alternative that can get you the same specs for noticeably less. If you value getting more for your money, the refurbished route is worth a serious look before buying new.
