Today we have a camera review Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM A320f. Even though the 13MP main camera and 8MP front-camera The Galaxy A3 doesn't look as cool as its older siblings, the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7, that doesn't mean they take bad photos.
Yes, we agree that the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f smartphone does not have as many megapixels as the Galaxy A5 2017, however, the camera of the younger model offers a similar aperture of f / 1.9, which helps to do good photos in low light conditions.
Also, the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f phone is not equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS), however South Korean manufacturer managed to completely hide the camera in the body of the device. Now it does not stick out, unlike last year's version of the smartphone.
So let's take a close look at the cameras Samsung smartphone Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f black, as well as examples of photos and videos.
Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f black: camera interface
The Galaxy A 2017 series is the first to receive a significantly redesigned camera interface from Samsung. The camera screen now offers video and shutter buttons, a gallery shortcut, flash controls, and a few other features.
The user also gains access to the Pro manual control mode, which allows you to adjust the white balance, ISO and exposure, as well as HDR mode, night mode and a new food mode. You can also download new filters and modes from the Samsung Apps store, but their number is quite limited, and we only liked the sport mode and the animated GIF image mode.
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f: photo quality
As is often the case with cheaper smartphones, natural-light photos are much better than indoors or at night. In good weather conditions, you can count on accurate colors and contrast with very fast autofocus and automatic tuning contrast. However, the shutter release takes a little longer than we would like.
HDR is very useful for working with particularly high-contrast landscapes, provided there is sufficient natural light. We were also surprised to find that the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM A320f phone has excellent macro photography capabilities with nice bokeh effect.
To get the best quality photos in the dark, it is recommended to turn on the night mode, which helps to brighten and sharpen the photos. In normal mode, the photos are quite grainy and dull. A single LED flash can help balance colors and contrast.
The front camera of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 sm a320f black also takes good photos in natural light. Plus, the beauty tools in the camera app let you beautify your selfie photos as much as possible.
Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f phone: video quality
When shooting video, the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 sm a320f phone has a limited range of resolution options for both the front and rear camera. Both let you shoot in VGA resolution up to 720p HD and Full HD at 30fps in 1: 1 square format.
When shooting still, the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM A320f handles colors well, and has the ability to quick setup contrast. However, the lack of image stabilization means that even small hand shakes will be immediately visible in the video.
Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM a320f camera review: summing up
The Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM A320f smartphone is the case when software outperforms hardware, which is quite rare in the budget segment of the market, especially among Chinese devices.
The main competitor of Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 SM A320f black can be called Sony Xperia XA1. A smartphone from Sony can easily bypass a device from Samsung in terms of photo quality in general, but the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 sm a320f has a more simplified interface and a wide range of features that will be very interesting for newbies and experienced Android users.

It has become more technologically advanced, autonomous, unpretentious in use, acquired a fingerprint scanner, got the opportunity using Samsung Cloud and Samsung Pay.
A-series, positioned by the manufacturer as balanced and affordable mid-range devices.
We tested A3 - one of the few compact smartphones on the market with a 4.7-inch screen, which is doomed to popularity due to the lack of any decent counterparts. Junior review Samsung models Galaxy A3 will show what new the company has offered to its users and whether it is worth buying a phone for that price.
Price and main characteristics
The A3 costs around $ 320. Considering the small stock of RAM and built-in memory, the mark of 20,000 rubles can be considered slightly overestimated, however, Samsung and the adequate pricing that Chinese manufacturers have taught us is not a compatible concept.

Smartphone;
Charging unit;
USB Type C cable, microUSB adapter;
Headphones;

Documentation.
Externally, the A3 is practically no different from the older models of the A-series. The smartphone's display is covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4, the back panel is also made of glass. All this is complemented by a metal frame that gives the A3 the look of a very stylish and expensive gadget. There are four body colors available: gold, blue, black and gray.
The smartphone screen occupies approximately 67% of the entire front side area. Under it is the hardware button "Home" (part-time a fingerprint scanner), as well as touch pads "Back" and "Tasks", which are highlighted at the moment of touch.
At the top of the front panel is the earpiece, proximity and lighting sensors, and a 5-megapixel front camera. An innovation that not everyone will like is the absence of an LED event indicator.
The noise canceling microphone and combo SIM slot are on the top.
On the left side there are only two keys for volume control.
On the right is the screen power button and the main speaker. This arrangement was not chosen by chance: the sound of the loudspeaker does not overlap if the phone is placed with its front or back surface on the table.
At the bottom there is a 3.5 mm headset jack, microphone and USB Type-C port.
The back of the smartphone looks a bit empty. There is only a 13MP camera, flash and company logo just below.
The greens of the back cover of the A3 are slightly rounded towards the metal frame. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the phone is very convenient to use, you can easily hold it with one hand even on the go. The gadget is hardly felt in a trouser pocket.
The A3 enclosure is IP68 certified. The smartphone is almost completely protected from moisture and dust. It can be underwater at a depth of 1.5 meters for half an hour. Of course, you shouldn't test the protection once again without the need.
Samsung is positioning the junior A-series model as a gadget for active people who value compactness and convenience. The typical A3 buyer doesn't chase benchmarks or screen sizes. There are not many decent devices with a 4.7-inch screen left on the smartphone market (not counting the iPhone SE). And if you are tired of "shovels" - A3 is definitely your choice.
Screen
The Samsung Galaxy A3 is equipped with a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The pixel density is 312 ppi. You can distinguish the graininess of the picture, for this you have to peer at the display from a distance of 5-6 centimeters. During normal use of the smartphone, the screen quality does not disappoint, it has good contrast, almost maximum viewing angles and slightly oversaturated color reproduction, which is traditional for all Amoledov.
Also, there is no air gap between the touchscreen and the sensor. The first one supports only up to 5 touches. In the settings of the smartphone, you can select the display mode suitable for the color temperature. A software filter is provided in blue, which reduces eye strain when reading text on a white background for a long time. The margin of display brightness is enough for comfortable use both at night and in direct sunlight.
The smartphone screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. It is scratch-resistant and can withstand drops on hard surfaces from a height of 1-1.5 meters without noticeable damage. In the 2017 A-line, an innovation has appeared - AlwaysOn Display. Now information about new events is displayed even when the screen is off. Special technology minimizes power consumption in standby mode, so using AlwaysOn has almost no impact on time autonomous work.
Performance
Inside the smartphone is an eight-core chipset Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7870, made using 14nm technology. The maximum frequency is 1.6 GHz. Such a processor has already been used in the Samsung J7 model. Responsible for the graphics video accelerator Mali-T830.
Built-in memory capacity - 16 GB. Out of the box, the user has about 9.7 GB available. The storage can be expanded via microSD up to 256GB. 2 GB random access memory enough for most everyday tasks.
Hardware component A3 corresponds to the average price category of smartphones. In Antutu and other benchmarks, the phone shows satisfactory results for similar devices. A3 performance will definitely be enough for an ordinary user (web surfing, video, light games). At maximum graphics settings, the Wot Blitz smartphone produces about 35-45 frames per second, but there is a lack of performance headroom, so this smartphone is definitely not for gamers.
Camera
The front 8-megapixel camera is not equipped with autofocus, so you will have to search for a suitable distance to the subject in the frame yourself. With the built-in application, you can slightly tweak the selfie.
The main 13-megapixel camera has autofocus, HDR and PRO mode ( manual setting white balance, ISO and exposure compensation).
The quality of pictures in normal lighting will delight even sophisticated users. Frames delight with good dynamic range, detail, rich colors and accurate white balance.
There is a small amount of noise in the twilight, but they do not greatly affect the picture. The noise reduction algorithm can blur fine details.
HDR operation in a low-brightness environment does not produce the desired effect. But when you have a bright light source, HDR dramatically improves image quality.
The maximum video resolution is FullHD at 30 frames per second.
Speaker, sound quality
If your phone is in your clothing pocket, incoming call can be easily missed due to the low volume of the main speaker. As for the rest, its sound is quite clean, listening to music does not cause discomfort.
Standard headphones are included in the package. You shouldn't expect anything supernatural from them, their sound quality is average. There are no complaints about the work of the conversational speaker. The noise reduction system works at a high level, cutting out unnecessary from the environment. Thanks to her, you can make out the words of the interlocutor even on public transport.
Battery
Battery life depends on 2350 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery. Despite the small battery capacity, Samsung lasts about two days on a single charge in normal mode. This is due to the presence of the energy efficient Exynos 7870 Octa processor and Super AMOLED matrix.
In the video playback mode with the maximum brightness of the screen, the Galaxy A3 lasted about 17 hours. Under heavy load, the battery will drain in about 10 hours. The smartphone does not have a mode fast charging, but it is, in fact, not needed. The phone charges up to 100% in an hour and a half. There is a power saving mode that limits the brightness of the display and the frequency of the processor.
Communication and Internet
The A3's navigational ability is beyond praise. Cold start lasts no longer than 10 seconds, GPS / GLONASS quickly finds and locks to the desired satellites. 
All required LTE standards are supported. cellular will work perfectly in almost any region of the CIS.
The new A-series supports Samsung Pay. For its operation, an NFC chip is built into the smartphone. Data exchange occurs via Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac 2.4 + 5GHz. In Repeater mode, the smartphone can distribute Wi-Fi to other devices, working as an access point. It is also worth using the USB Type C interface, through which a variety of external devices can be connected to the A3.
Video review Samsung Galaxy A3
Competitors, conclusion
What about the Samsung Galaxy A3 after the test? First of all, it is a compact model for everyday tasks. There are not many 4.7-inch smartphones on the market. A3 can offer full protection from moisture and dust, good battery life and a quality camera. The smartphone is suitable for people with an active lifestyle who value compactness and simplicity.
But some buyers are outraged about the price of the device. In their opinion, the Galaxy A3 is significantly inferior in terms of technical specifications Chinese smartphones, the cost of which is almost three times less. But it should be understood that these are players of different weight categories, targeting completely different audiences.
The main rivals of the model are the iPhone SE and Sony Xperia X Compact. The advantage of the former is a better camera. However, the iPhone costs significantly more, has a completely different design and does not have an AlwaysOn Display. X Compact is similar in technical specifications. Again, it is more expensive and not waterproof.

I would like to write down the fingerprint sensor as a plus, but it is now in phones for 4-6 thousand rubles, and it works the same way: from the third time and then if you wipe both the sensor and the finger thoroughly! Sometimes you have to press directly to start recognizing. Sometimes you have to make a curtain of prints, because it ceases to recognize, sometimes once a week, sometimes once a month, sometimes more often.
About autonomy: normal, but it upsets the fact that 5% of a hundred can go away in an hour, but 5% from 5 to 0 can suddenly disappear in a minute, and this despite the fact that the smart switched to energy saving! Like this, for no reason at all, it’s just to zero and goodbye, and you were counting on at least a couple of calls to take, if you don’t touch it, but no, it’s not even buzzing, it’s cut out. In general, the last percentages are melting right before our eyes, even without a load, and this is with a fresh smart. And what to expect next?
And for those who write that they have switched from a more productive flagship to this smart and are delighted, check if your opus is not for sale?
One generally says that with 2GB of RAM, the navigator and messengers are not unloaded ... well, well .. they are unloaded on 8GB of vanplas, my 2x a320 is unloaded, and even lagging cruelly, but you do not unload ... but do you really use this smart?
In short, there are almost no positive aspects of this smartphone, and those that are are completely crossed out by shortcomings.
Terribly braking and laggy. Iron is pretty stunted for the price. Sometimes you even wait 20-30 seconds for the camera to start, sometimes it doesn't start at all.
Browsing is a pain, especially when you try to move somewhere else after it.
Memory clogs up INSTANTLY! The pitiful 16GB was common in 2012. Since then, 5 years have passed. Now 16GB is not enough even for the most necessary, especially for a smartphone from 10000r ...
2GB of RAM ... so that you understand, multitasking (multi-window) was left in this smartphone, and then there is a nox, which, by account, is a second OS inside the OS (there you can also create an account and install applications separate from the main account) by itself Knox is cool, but with 2GB of RAM ...
In short, all these services are already pretty robust, and if you use a smartphone for a little more than a couple of SMS and a couple of calls a day, it means terrible lags. It lags especially strongly when 600MB remains in internal memory, and given that there is only 16GB, then you will encounter this problem very soon, and the phone will begin to pop everywhere annoying warnings about the lack of space. If you are not the most experienced user, then most likely you will run into a chronic lack of memory, the worst minute lags and reboots. And then you will understand that it was worth overpaying 1500r and buy a 32GB iphone se, which is 3.5 times more powerful and has enough memory, and it will not lag so that you will constantly miss calls because the CALL INTERFACE DISPLAYS 50 SEC. AND YOU JUST DO NOT SEE THE PRINCIPAL BUTTON
I have been using Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 for a month or more I recommend not to buy
