The South Korean tech giant, Samsung has been facing some tough times of late with its much hyped and talked about, Galaxy Note 7 being recalled. For those who are still not aware of this set back, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which was released amidst much fanfare, was doing pretty well for itself until there started coming reports about the failure of the battery. The battery was reported to be catching fire, and owing to the same Samsung recalled all the Note 7 devices to fix the problem.
But this hasn’t stopped Samsung from readying its next flagships, the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017). Buzz has it that the release date of this new Galaxy device has been disclosed and along with A3 (2017), Samsung has a line of flagships including Galaxy A4, Galaxy A8 (2016), Galaxy A5 (2017), and Galaxy A7 (2017).
Though Samsung is tightlipped about the forthcoming handsets, it has certainly the details of its A3 (2017) is doing the rounds on internet.

The A3 (2017) has been sent for testing and is said to have 4.7-inch screen available at a price of Rs. 10,287 which could apparently see a change during the launch.
It is to note that the pioneering Galaxy A3 was unveiled in February 2015 ahead of its upgraded version, the Galaxy A7 (2016) which was released in December 2015. This is why it is expected that the Galaxy A3 (2017) will follow suit and get released in December 2016.
