The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) is the entry-level smartphone, with a 4.7-inch 720p Super AMOLED display. Powering the device is an Exynos 7870 SoC and 2GB RAM, along with 16GB expandable storage. The handset features a 13MP primary camera with f/1.9 aperture and LED flash. The front camera is an 8MP unit with f/1.9 aperture and support for beautification mode.
