We already reported on Galaxy A Series devices on Samsung, now the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 are official. The Galaxy A3 and A5 are both metal unibody devices with just 6.9 and 6.7mm thick and come in 6 different colors.
Samsung says the Galaxy A3 and A5 are aimed at providing great camera and social networking experiences, with a 5MP front-facing camera backed up by a variety of selfie modes being the focus instead of the 13MP rear camera.
The price is likely to be right for the younger buyers as well, with internal specs on the Galaxy A3 and A5 that aren’t blowing anyone away. The Galaxy A5 has a 5-inch 1280*720 Super AMOLED display while the Galaxy A3 comes in at 4.5-inches and 960*540, with both running a 1.2GHz quad-core processor. The Galaxy A5 has 2GB of RAM and a 2300mAh battery, while the Galaxy A3 comes up smaller in both areas with 1900mAh and 1GB RAM.

We’ll have to see if one or both of these make their way over to Western shores.
