It's a big difference.

The A5 2016 is a nice phone. I bought one for my mother. It's half decent spec, so I suppose it's gonna come down to cost and your needs.

Ii broke my s7 edge and brought a a3 2016 i preferred tge design. Its noticeable that its slower and lacks ram.. But a good rom amd kernel and its a brilliant phone.. I prefer it to the s7e.

S4 Mini lollipop update

http://pic.youmobile.org/imgcdn/samsung_lol_eta_phones_list.jpg
What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.

Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??

Lol :laugh::laugh::laugh:
with this middle-end phone ,i don't think at all ( at 100%) that these A series 2017 will have this big O 8.x update in the future ...
it will be reserved for note8 ,s8 (s8,s8+,s8edge)...and future note9 ,s9 series, A series 2018 & J series 2018....and "maybe" s7 (but i don't think so !!!!)

I've read an article before that we A7 2017 users will have a Oreo update.
I believe that A 2017 series will get oreo due to the fact that A 2016 series got nugat.
@kukom6 @Jubremelle
i have said my opinion ,because Samsung is not great at all with android ...but i hope that i'm totaly wrong and you tell the truth .
Nougat is jusy released ,the begining of a veeeryyyy looooong time and many future updates with this android... :silly:
But there are one thing very very irritating !!!! : there are N 7.1.2 released (and eventual future others).....and Samsung as usual, have a very big chance to stay all the time with N 7.0 on theirs phones !!!!!!
Samsung and some others manufacturers don't like Android at all ... it's just a free open-source support for to save money and don't spend energy to develop a phone operating system ...and generalize the Playstore and the big business of apps development ...
Samsung have their habit to upgrade the OS only once, and move on to the next model. companies benefits themselves, not their customers. this is how economics works.
Samsung hate the existance of custom roms, such as Lineage OS, Omni, etc. they hate the fact that a customer can extend his phone life cycle, instead of buying a new shiny phone.
Samsung only publish their source code due to obligation to Google.
I used to have a Galaxy S2 which was a flagship, and originally came with Android 2.3.7, then they released an upgrade to 4.1.2, which was so bad and buggy, and couple of months later they released the Galaxy S3, which caused the S2 to die immediately in terms of support.
So... no. no official Oreo from samsung for you guys.
So, how you explain that Samsung release Marshmallow and then Nugat for A3 2016 which was in the same position (f.e. as A3 2017 now) ? I think that two major updates (nugat, oreo) for A3 are real but with a time delay (of course, a3 will be at the end of the portfolio for update).
But still, It's only my opinion.
Up till now, not all region got Nougat update yet and you ask for Oreo? it all depends on Samsung decision, but in reality just wait
Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
We will get Oreo, 2016 series got Nougat, so there is no reason, that we wont have an Oreo update. The real question is: how it will run.
There are 2 major Android upgrades for each Samsung phones. We only got one. So yes, we will get Oreo. They haven't finished it for the S8, so don't count on it before at least a year, since we only got 7 now.

Worth upgrading to S9+ form S7 Edge?

Hi!
As you saw from my question I am wondering whether it's worth upgrading to S9+ from S7 edge or should I wait for the Note 9 or even S10? What do you think?
Also.. Will there be good development on this device? :fingers-crossed:

Well it was well worth going from my s7 edge to s8 plus so yes of course going to s9 plus is worth it.
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
i'll be upgrading to the s9+ from the s7e, mostly because my plan runs out conveniently on the 15th.
i'm not as pumped by the actual phone yet, but the size, screen and 6gb RAM and battery bump in the s9+ looks good and it will be great... until March 15th in 2020 when i'll get the Note 12 / T2 / S11 Ultra, whatever that flagship is.
I had thought about the iPhone X/ Razer phone, and in an ideal world, i'd get either one instead, but the razer is not available locally and getting updates or repair/support for grey market phones is abominable in ... Australia.
(And, i'm not really invested in apple tech, despite having a now 5 year old ipad, and an iphone 4 that technically still works ... and basically everyone i know, has iPhone or Samsung)
s9 arrives later in the week, the s7 edge is still a perfectly great phone, until my daughter smashed it.
any excuse to get a new gadget.
Rom advice? I see Alexandr is makiung dev base, may stick with that stock feel, yet the freedom to use magisk modules. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
S7 and S9 are great ,but i prefer the S9 .
It's all worth it .

Will We Ever Get to See the A3 Again?

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) a year ago and to this day I think it is the perfect phone. I waxed poetic about it for several thousand words on my blog today.
In 2018, we saw the A3, A5 and A7 replaced with the A8, a device falling between the A5 and A7 of last year. But what about the A3? To start with, it wasn’t even released in all parts of the world, and now it’s been shelved completely. I know the argument, that there simply aren’t enough takers for a compact device, but boy would it have been lovely to see the line progress and improve with time, while keeping the same dimensions.
What do you guys think? Did you want to see an update to the A3 as much as I did? Which phone will you update to if your A3 were to stop functioning today?
Nice blog post (I used GSMArena like you with common settings). I agree on you. This phone is (nearly) perfect and it is really a shame that no brand understand the need for a compact smartphone.
Unfortunately, it is not perfect for me since I really like/need notification LED. Another default is the lack of B28 (LTE, used in France) unlike A5 or S8.
So if I had to use another phone, it would be the S8 (I don't use fingerprint) because of notification LED & B28.
But for now I don't need B28 and for notification LED replacement, I use an app called "Glimpse notifications" (with recurring notifications every 30 seconds without much battery drain). So I'll use this A3 until I find a deal on S8.

Which One is Better Smartphone for me. Samsung Galaxy S10 and Upcoming Galaxy S11?

I am Confusing to purchase Samsung Smartphone. Should I purchase Galaxy S10 or Wating for upcoming Samsung Galaxy S11? Which one is best for me. Can You Suggest to me?
The answer that you are looking for is quite broad and your question is quite vague. If you would please elaborate on how you use a phone, your expectations from the next phone and a possible budget, I can provide further info.
How would anyone know which phone is better for you when the phone is question is about 3 months away from being released and all we know are leaks and rumors, no official word on anything...
the upcoming S12 will be better, wait for that instead
If you want or need a headphone jack the S10 is better.

You think the S12? I was gonna suggest Note 12
I would suggest samsung galaxy X
Galaxy s43++ is better
If you want the best of Samsung, then of course wait for the S11, note also that Samsung phones with Exynos chipsets are bad for gaming, if you play games on your phone, then get the Snapdragon version or look for another brand.
