Surprise, surprise! It looks like Samsung just launched its new Samsung Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 smartphones in Taiwan. The only thing missing, international availability aside, is the Galaxy A7 - the flagship of the series - to keep them company. While we're waiting for the star of the show to appear, we get the chance to have a good look at Samsung's new low & mid-range offerings and their refreshed metallic designs. Both the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 have unibody metal cases, which means they are prettier and sturdier, but the battery is non-removable. They are sold in three colors - black, white, and gold.
Both devices are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 64-bit quad-core processor, which is becoming increasingly en vogue. However, the Galaxy A5 has a 5-inch 720p display, and the Galaxy A3 makes do with a 4.5-inch 540p screen. Differences don't end here, however. The Galaxy A5 has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage memory, a 13MP main camera, and a 2300mAh battery. The Galaxy A3 is downsized to 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage memory, an 8-megapixel main camera, and a 1900mAh battery. Both smartphones have 5MP wide-lens front cams, and run Android 5.0 Lollipop.
In Taiwan, the Galaxy A5 is priced at $380, while the Galaxy A3 costs less at $287. Samsung's plans for international markets aren't clear for the moment.
