Hi!
There's actually 2 dedicated threads for such comparison questions... This one,
*[Discussion] Consolidated Device Comparison/ Q&A/ Discussion Thread!!*
Or this one too...
*[Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy
This is not the section for such questions though.
Good luck! And welcome to XDA. :good:
Hi all
This is a combined thread for discussions regarding the specifications and design of the Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 and A8 Was the choice between the 3 purely price driven?

Not sure whether this has been pointed out, but the camera specs for the A300FU are a bit wrong, specifically the resolution of the photos taken by the camera - they're not 264x2448 (that would be <1MP).
I want to start off by saying I truly enjoy trying new phones, customizing them etc. To get straight to the point my daily driver is a Gold LG G3, I put the specs below. I often see new phones like the Honor 8 for example that catch my eye but when I compare them to my current G3 I can't see much difference in them hardware wise and thus I can't make myself buy a device that will bascially do the same thing my current one is doing just fine. So I ask you fellow XDA members, suggest some phones that will blow my G3 away and get me excited to try. Thanks for your help!
