Samsung may be developing successors to the Galaxy A3, A5, and A7 smartphones
While the mainstream Galaxy A series isn't one of Samsung's bestsellers, it still carries a premium design with respectable hardware. According to reports from South Korea, the next generation may come with a facelift as well.
The flagship Galaxy S series tends to steal the spotlight from Samsung's more mainstream and budget families. The Galaxy A series, for example, offers very good features for much lower price points. The A3 and A5 both scored 86 and 87 percent in our full reviews, respectively, while the A7 scored an even higher 88 percent.
Now, unconfirmed media reports from South Korea are claiming that Samsung is already developing successors to the A3, A5, and A7 known as the SM-A310F, SM-A510F, SM-A710F, SM-A5100, and SM-A7100. Russia will purportedly receive the Ax10F models while China will get the Ax100 models.
The source further speculates that Samsung will make some significant chassis changes to the A series beyond just the usual hardware optimizations. For example, we may see more than just Android updates and better quality microphones and speakers.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
