Samsung Galaxy A Series

Ready for another benchmark offering from Samsung? This time it is not just one smartphone, but a series of 3 phones that perfectly capture the now. Each phone in the Samsung Galaxy A series is available in Midnight Black, Pearl White, Platinum Silver or Champagne Gold, you know, to match your mood.

Samsung Build Quality

What makes the Samsung Galaxy A series so inviting is the design and metal casing, it is the most noticeable modification in design that Samsung has made in recent years. It is so appealing, perhaps Apple fan boys will finally stop slating Samsung's design and take a closer look. After all, it is what is inside that actually matters most anyway. The A series not only encompasses a configuration of high end specs, but also a shift in concept and usability.

The Future of Selfies

As time passes, the age of the selfie has gained momentum and become an entire movement rather than a mere fad. Samsung has capitalised on this simple-minded trend and produced a phone that has a better front facing camera than most. All three phones; the Galaxy A5, A7 and A3 have 5MP front facing cameras, along with more than a handful of brilliant selfie modes to keep you posing for hours on end. Choose from; animated selfie, beauty selfie, wide selfie, voice or palm selfie and even rear cam selfie.
