The Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 sport a metallic unibody design that Give them a premium feel when held in hand. The Galaxy A3 comes with a 4.5-inch qHD screen, a Snapdragon 410 processor, 1.5GB RAM, an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, LTE and a 1900mAh battery. The Galaxy A7 packs the same Qualcomm chipset as the A3 but comes with 2GB RAM, a 5-inch 720p display, a 13MP rear shooter and a larger 2300mAh battery.
