I love samsung mobiles.One of the issues I had with the 2015 Galaxy A3 was it’s low 960 x 540 ( 245ppi) resolution, so I’m pleased to see that Samsung has upgraded it to 1, 280 x 720 ( 312ppi) , while also bumping up the screen size to 4.7 inches. It’s far from the sharpest screen, but it’s in the same ballpark as Apple’s Retina display on the iPhone 6S.
The display itself looks lovely – the A3 uses Samsung’s fabulous Super AMOLED technology. You can adjust the screen mode in the Options menu, switching between Adaptive display ( default) , AMOLED cinema, AMOLED and Basic. The Basic option offers the most natural colour reproduction. Using the A3 outside on a sunny day doesn’t prove problematic either, thanks to the outdoor display mode kicking in and boosting the brightness.
