Metal-clad Samsung Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 go up for pre-order in the UK

The metal-clad Samsung Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 smartphones are ready to hit the UK next month, set to hit retail on Feb. 12.

The Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 are the first devices in Samsung's new Galaxy A series, and have drawn lots of attention due to their metallic design. While Samsung has long been criticized for its love of plastic, even in its highest-end devices, the company finally launched all-metal handsets with its Galaxy A series.

The two metallic smartphones made their debut a while back and now they're officially ready to hit retail in the UK in a couple of weeks.

"Samsung Electronics today announced that the first smartphones in its Galaxy A-Series range, the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5, are available to buy in UK stores on Thursday 12th February. Offering trademark Galaxy features housed in a sophisticated all-metal exterior with the slimmest design yet, the Galaxy A-Series combine style with functionality for an exceptional experience," Samsung touts in a new press release on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

As a reminder, both the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 pack 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processors under the hood, 16GB of internal storage capacity, microSD support for additional memory of up to 64GB, 5-megapixel front shooters, 4G LTE connectivity, and Android 4.4.4 KitKat on the software side. The Galaxy A3 sports a 4.5-inch qHD display, an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.5GB of RAM, while the Galaxy A5 comes with a 5-inch HD (720p) display, a 13-megapixel rear shooter and 2GB of RAM.

"Establishing a new category, the A-Series promises serious sophistication at an affordable price point. Perfect for those who don't want to compromise on style or technology, the Galaxy A3 and A5 combine a sleek all-metal design with an extraordinary Super AMOLED display for vivid, colourful content wherever you are," Samsung further boasts.

"At Samsung, we recognise the demand for premium looking, great quality smartphones with useful features at an achievable price point, which is why we're launching the Galaxy A-Series," adds Ines van Gennip, Marketing Director, IT & Mobile Division, Samsung UK & Ireland. "Combining a stunning full metal body, superior technology and a host of innovative features, the Galaxy A3 and A5 offer exceptional performance without compromising on style. This is a very exciting time for the mid-range market and we're delighted to introduce the Galaxy A-Series to UK customers today."

The handsets will be available from top retailers such as Carphone Warehouse, EE, and O2, as well as Samsung's exclusive stores. Starting today, Jan. 28, the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 will also be available for pre-order on Samsung's UK website and retail stores. Both devices come in Champagne Gold, Pearl White, Platinum Silver, and Midnight Black color options. Interested customers can find the Galaxy A3 here and the Galaxy A5 at this link.
