Posted by knowyourhandheld on January 19th, 2016

In a year that brought us some of the best tech toys, 2015 was all about one manufacturer; Samsung. With smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, smart televisions and even virtual reality gear, the Korean giant was never out of the spotlight. But their success didn’t stop there. In fact, last year was just a stepping stone to what 2016 has in store. With leaks and rumors about the “A Series (2016)” towards the end of last year, we can be rest assured to see something spectacular in the coming 12 months.

Samsung. A name associated with the biggest selling consumer products the world has ever seen. But if you haven’t heard of the other products that make up the Samsung brand name, you would have at least heard of their smartphones. Whether it’s the older Wave Series or the latest A Series, it isn’t possible that anyone hasn’t heard of the Samsung smartphone collection. But we look to the future and see what the company has in store for the year ahead. We take a look at the newest A Series from Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy A3

Announced and released last month, the Galaxy A3 is the smallest in the family. Sporting a 4.7 inch HD Super AMOLED display at 720p resolution. Running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and powered by a Quad Core Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, the A3 is a speedy device. Built with a 1.5GB RAM and a 16GB ROM which is expandable to 128GB, the device gives users a chance to store all their favorite content. There is a 13MP camera on the back with LED flash and autofocus while the front holds a 5MP camera. A 2300mAh battery supplies power to the device that lasts for more than a day of normal use.
