    Galaxy A3, a midrange phone, is really funny. All metal unibody design is just a gimmick of samsung to make their ugly phones look premium.

    Most non-techie fans will choose this over the Zenfone. I own a Zenfone 5 and I got a blank stare when I told non-techie friends that it was a good phone.
