Samsung today announced the Galaxy A5 and A3, two mid-range smartphones meant to better compete with LG's L series and HTC's Desire devices. The A5 and A3 feature metal unibody construction and will come in a variety of colors. The two phones share most internal components. Both phones are powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 16GB of internal storage and support for microSD cards up to 64GB. Each includes Cat 4 LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC radios along with a handful of internal sensors. The A5 and A3 share 5-megapixel user-facing cameras and some of the selfie modes seen most recently on the Galaxy Note 4, such as wide-angle selfie.

A5: The A5 (pictured) is the larger of the two phones. It has a 5-inch HD screen, 13-megapixel main camera, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,300mAh battery.

A3: The smaller of the two phones has a 4.5-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel main camera, 1GB of RAM, and a 1,900mAh battery.

The Galaxy A5 and A3 run Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's Touchwiz user interface. They will go on sale in select markets beginning in November. US carriers have not yet announced plans to carry the devices.
