Questions people ask
What model number is the A3?

How much RAM does the A3 have?
At least 4 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the A3 run?
It came with Android 14. A version older than 14 means a different phone.

Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real A3, for free.
