Both smartphones are the first in Samsung’s Android lineup to feature a unibody design.
Following months of rumors and leaks, the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 have finally been made official by Samsung. After indulging in metal frames on the Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4, the Korean manufacturer has decided to go all in. Both the A3 and A5 have an all metal unibody exterior – that means the backs on the devices are non-removable, which, along with the metal unibodies, are a first for an Android device from Samsung.
The A3 and A5 are also the slimmest Samsung phones after the Galaxy Alpha. The A3 measures in at 6.9mm thin, while the A5 is even thinner at 6.7mm. Of course, with Oppo having taken the crown for the thinnest smartphone with the R5, Samsung isn’t doing anything groundbreaking, but it is surely reiterating that the race for thinner and thinner smartphones is one that isn’t going to get over anytime soon.
Samsung is targeting young consumers with the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5, which is why both phones feature 5-megapixel front-facing cameras. The company has thrown in all the new camera features from the Galaxy Note 4, including four – yes, four – modes specifically for taking selfies. But that’s not it. In a bid to attract the youth, Samsung will also be offering the A3 and A5 in five different color options:*Pearl White, Midnight Black, Platinum Silver, Soft Pink, Light Blue and Champagne Gold, though it’s likely all of these won’t be available at launch.

In terms of hardware, there’s not a lot to be impressed about. The Galaxy A3 and A5 feature 4.5-inch qHD and 5-inch HD Super AMOLED displays, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1/2GB of RAM, 13/8-megapixel cameras, 16GB of expandable internal storage, LTE connectivity, and 1,900/2,300 mAh batteries. Both devices run on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, with an option to choose between four different themes, another feature that we haven’t seen on any Samsung-made Android phone before.
Samsung wasn’t very forthcoming about release details, though it does mention that a launch will be limited to select markets when the devices go on sale in November. That’s probably a good move as it would help the company test the demand for devices that form part of its plan to take back the market share it has been ceding to the competition; hopefully, it will also be pricing both devices well enough.
