Samsung has today revealed that it will launch the revamped variants of the metal-and-glass bodied Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 in the United Kingdom on Friday, May 5. Unfortunately, the manufacturer failed to provide any information with regards to pricing, but based on the details included in a premature listing, we expect the former to cost £269 and the latter to retail for £319.

As you’d expect, the Galaxy A3 (2016) and Galaxy A5 (2016) feature some newer hardware than their predecessors. This mostly comes in the form of a sturdier build, a more vivid Super AMOLED display, a beefier processor, a larger amount of RAM and a sharper camera. All of the changes, together with our thoughts on the handsets, can be read in our comprehensive reviews, which can be accessed by clicking the links below:

After reviewing the Galaxy A5 (2017), I turned to the Galaxy A3 (2017), the smallest of the new A series. The A3 has always been the device lacking in specs ever since the Galaxy A lineup was launched. Last year’s A3 had no Samsung Pay support nor a fingerprint sensor, making it a tough sell […]
