I relly love this phone, the front camera is relly wide , you could shoot good photos.
The colour of the phone is really attractive, I like that kind of blue. I can run every app without lags. The android 5.0 is really smooth. I hope it will get the marshmallow .

My iphone 5s suffered water damage and I didn't have the money to buy another one so I bought an A3 and so far it's been pretty good! The cellphone is fast, it has a good camera and an amazing frontal camera, it sometimes lags when you try to access the photo gallery from the camera app but other than that I see no problem... I HAVE A LOT OF BATTERY LIFE NOW which wasn't the case when I had my iphone. Love this little dude.

Very nice budget-mid range phone

This phone is a nice step up from the Galaxy S4 Mini. Whilst each of the improvements is relatively small, they all add up to improve the user experience. One of the expert criticisms seems to be that it 'only' has a screen resolution of 540x960 pixels. For me, this is more than enough with a screen size of 4.5" and looks pretty sharp. The phone has a really nice feel to it, is a good size (without being too large), very thin, lightweight and fairly fast (although I do not use it for games). The battery is generally good for 24-36 hours, although will be less for heavy users. Overall I really like it and am very happy given the relatively low cost for a sim-free handset.
