The Galaxy Ace 2017 Range: A More Affordable Take on the Flagship Experience

What's up guys, it's Nerve with our hands on the Galaxy A Series 2017. This year's handsets don't overhaul a lot from previous years, but Samsung is opportune to borrow specific Galaxy S features to improve the overall experience. The first of these is the design, which all three Galaxy A models borrow from last year's flagships. All three models have curved 3D glass and minimal bezels, making for a sleek and modern look. They also share the Galaxy DNA, which includes IP68 certification for waterproofing, always-on display, micro SD card expansion, and long-lasting batteries.

The similarities are clear, but the difference is also crucial, with varying specs across the Galaxy A3 and A5 that we have here, as well as the Galaxy A7, which isn't coming to the UK. The A3 and A5 support what Samsung is calling an advanced camera, with the A3 offering a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera, while the A5 has a 16-megapixel camera on both the front and back, both with F1.9 aperture. The Galaxy A5 also features phase detection autofocus for lightning-fast focus times, one particularly useful feature that allows you to drag the shutter button anywhere on the screen to solve the problem of cramping your thumb when trying to take a selfie. The camera also has a swipe UI, allowing you to swipe up or down to flip between cameras, swipe left to change modes, and swipe right to change effects.

Both handsets are powered by a quad-core Exynos processor, with the A3 sporting 16 gigabytes of storage and 2 gigabytes of RAM, while the A5 features 32 gigabytes of storage and 3 gigabytes of RAM. Both also come with USB-C ports as well as a fingerprint sensor that's building to the home button beneath the screen. The A3 is powered by a 2350 milliampere-hour battery, while the A5 has a much beefier 3000 milliampere-hour battery, available in four colors: black, sky gold, sand blue mist, and peach cloud.

These handsets offer a touch of the flagship Galaxy S experience at a much more affordable price point. The A3 is available for £279 in the UK, while the A5 costs £369. They're both half-stiff competition, offering a glimpse of the overall Galaxy S experience for half the cost or less. So, what do you think of the Galaxy A 2017 series? Do you plan to buy them?

The Galaxy Ace 2017 range offers flagship features from the Galaxy S7 at a lower price point, but should you buy them? The answer lies in whether or not these handsets meet your needs and budget. With their sleek design, advanced camera, and powerful processor, they offer a compelling alternative to last year's flagships. However, it's worth noting that this year's handsets don't overhaul a lot from previous years, suggesting that Samsung may be relying on the existing Galaxy S experience rather than introducing completely new features.

Despite this, the Galaxy A 2017 series is certainly an improvement over last year's models, and offers a more affordable take on the flagship experience. The use of IP68 certification for waterproofing, always-on display, micro SD card expansion, and long-lasting batteries are all features that were previously exclusive to higher-end Samsung devices. By including these features in their mid-range offerings, Samsung is making it easier for consumers to access these premium features without breaking the bank.

The advanced camera on the Galaxy A3 and A5 is another key feature that sets them apart from last year's models. With a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera, the A3 offers a more affordable alternative to the higher-end flagships. The A5 takes this to the next level with its 16-megapixel camera on both the front and back, making it one of the best cameras in its class.

Overall, the Galaxy Ace 2017 range is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a premium Android experience without the premium price tag. With their sleek design, advanced camera, and powerful processor, they offer a compelling alternative to last year's flagships. Whether or not you should buy them depends on your individual needs and budget, but one thing is certain: these handsets are definitely worth considering.
