Gigabyte GSmart Arty A3 - User Reviews

  • Wow!!!!! So informative!!!!!

  • Does anyone know how to move the phone memory to the SD card ?

  • Well I'm still looking after one year for this battery. I bought it off the television selling programme, they obviously bought a van load cheap knowing they were going to fob customers off selling phones that were defunct.

  • I had this phone for 1year and i dont have any problem with it, camera isnt good but i think for 120€ you cant get better phone.

  • Where did you get yours serviced iam having the same pproblems problems as yourself

  • Had this phone for a year and it still works as day one. The micro usb got damaged and it would not charge, but this happens to even high brand phones. It is now in service. But altogether, it is a good phone, but has a few flaws. Pros: 1. Phone runs smoothly even highly detailed games. 2. Battery holds for a day With Mobile data, Wifi, Bluetooth activated. I also listen to music a lot and play games on it. At the same time. 3. Camera is good. The auto focus works well. Cons: 1. Microphone is shit. The sound is muffled and I have to speak very loudly for the other person to hear clearly. Used a Bluetooth Headset instead and had no problems since. 2. The touchscreen has a bad sensor on the lower area, detecting the touch a few millimeters lower than the real spot. It can be a nuisance in games where it does not catch the right tap. 3. Internal space is way too low. I always have to clear cache and junk files before installing new updates. Even so, the space sits somewhere around 85% all the time.

  • In The Moon!

  • Hi, do you know where I can buy a battery for the Gsmart ArtyA3 phone please.

  • had this phone a while it still is great as ever ,i play high performance games on it still smooth as when i got it

  • Hello, I have gsmart arty a3 for 4 months and I have problem with internal memory...from total 4 gb, used is 1.2 and just 330 mb is free and because of the Kit Kat most of applications can't be moved to SD, which gives these phone a big minus.

  • true... the camera is very awful 8mp its all a lie i requested someone but mine from Israel and i realized this problem i returned it back to the dealer thinking it was my copy only to get the new one after 3 weeks of wait and have the same lousy gadget very disaapointing. Arku was very fun to use

  • The camera is awful...8mp my ass..seems more like 0.2mp. Otherwise it's a gr8 phone for little money

  • There is a user manual on the manufacturers website: I hope is helpfull.

  • I own arty for 3 months and it's great no laging,everything is ok...but camera s not so good. All in all great product for low price :)

  • I've had this A3 a couple of weeks. All is good except the 8mb camera. Photo images are fuzzy even with HDR. I sent the first camera back because of this problem, but the second model is exactly the same. Funny thing is that videos taken with the 8mb are pin-sharp! Any ideas how to correct this fault please?

  • Got this phone but there is no real manual to show how best to use and get most out of phone?! So I decided to go online for tips & tricks - but can find None in English!? this is getting frustrating. Also want to know how to make most of dual SIMs -assuming that Must be for different sum providers..? ANYONE found an English video or manual of how to use all available on ARTY A3 please?

  • Can anyone please tell me how to use this phone to send and receive pictures via normal text messaging apps. besides Whatsapp. I have only had it for two days it's a great phone but can not receive or send pictures via the default text apps and Hangout app.

  • Arty gsmart on ideal world pic not God apps take longer than guest told is slow sometimes

  • Lol,I buyed 4 my mum 4 present,and its perferct 4 her.Everything positive other sad here I agree.Only is low pix.screen (196ppi) but i can see it from very very close 2 screen.Lowest price in Croatia is about 125�.Greetings!

  • Nice specifications, compact phone, it is comfortable for hands, display is ok. Sometimes it has a short break when I start application, as lagging. Does anyone have similar problem? Maybe I need better antivirus...

  • I think to buy one for my Mom. Is the 5'' display easy to use in women's hands?

  • The phone is great. I'm using it for few weeks. I personally recommend it. Total value for money.

  • Perfect screen that captures you eyes. Good pixel density and contrast from the IPS display. Excellent sound quality! Recommend it!!!

  • Display is awesome for the price, camera with HDR is also awesome. Everything is great on this phone.

  • I own Arty A3 for few days and so far i am happy. That mean, everything I try, just works. And pretty quick, zero lags or hangs. Well, it is not a profi photo/video cam, of course... Battery is ok like every other smartphone, one day with heavy usage, two days with moderate usage.

  • I want to buy this phone. I know that the main his drawbank is low pixel density, but other features are great. Does somebody have this phone? What can you say about it? It would be great to hear comments from you.
