Price last checked: 22 Nov 2017. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM999, positioning it as a budget option built around a Snapdragon 410 chipset and 1.5GB of RAM. That's enough for everyday tasks on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, though it's not a phone for heavy multitasking. The 4.7-inch Super AMOLED screen is the standout here, with 720 x 1280 resolution and 312 ppi giving colours more punch than most phones at this tier.
On the camera side, you get a 13MP rear shooter with f/1.9 aperture and LED flash, paired with a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Storage sits at 16GB, tight by modern standards but expandable via microSD up to 128GB.
The 2300 mAh battery is modest, matching the compact 132g body and 7.3mm profile. Body construction includes a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 back panel, and it comes in Black, White, Gold or Pink, with NFC available on the LTE variant.
