With the arrival of Samsung’s highly anticipated GALAXY A5 and A3, human connections and technology finally become the perfect union. Featuring the most advanced functions optimised for an extensive social networking experience and packaged in a sleek, premium metallic trim, the GALAXY A5 and A3 celebrate true togetherness with the innovative 120° wide selfie feature.
In conjunction with the arrival of these two smartphones, Samsung also introduces the Bestnya Bersama campaign. Aimed to bring Malaysian youths together through the wide selfie feature and music platform, the campaign theme certainly goes hand in hand with the features on the GALAXY A5 and A3.
The launch event was made even more exciting with the presence of the GALAXY A Series’ A Team comprising of Izzue Islam, Venice Min, Najwa Latif, Shawn Lee, Ke Qing, Paperplane Pursuit, Liyana Fizi and An Honest Mistake.
Samsung’s slimmest smartphones to date, the GALAXY A5 and A3 feature full metal unibody designs that are 6.7mm and 6.9mm thin respectively. Both devices will come in Pearl White, Midnight Black, Platinum Silver and Champagne Gold.

Shutterbugs will love the advanced 5MP front-facing camera with the innovative wide selfie mode on the Samsung GALAXY A5 & A3. Users would be able to capture a group picture that includes more company without having to huddle too close to one another.
The GALAXY A Series is equipped with the Super AMOLED display and Adaptive Display technology to deliver clearer images with deep contrast and better viewing angles for more vivid, colourful content in any environment, even under bight sunlight.
Both the devices will run on a fast network speed of LTE Category 4 standard.
