Anything samsung is worth it imo, apple again imo is too restrictive on what can go on their OS. I still have an S5, but before that I had an S4, my Fiance has an S6, and my best friend runs an S6 Edge, the edge never really impressed me, although i haven't looked since the S6 Edge was announced.

I would have to look at the specs between the S7 and the A3 to give a solid recommendation, however from just my basic upfront research, the A3 is a solid choice, though either S7 would also not be bad.

Thats pretty much my tl;dr recommendation, but thats my opinion and im willing to admit im fairly biased against the Apple Products for more than a few reasons that i wont go into here.

The S7 will not disappoint you. I jumped from the S5 and it's simply amazing.
I'm not a fan of the "Edge" line, but I've got friends that got an older model Edge and they thought it was a really nice feature.
I don't know anything firsthand about the A3, but as @Ripcord33 said, any of the flagship Samsung phones are good.

I don't like the culture that drives Apple as a company in terms of encouraging innovation in tech so I wont personally use them, but I can't deny that they make a good phone (except for that whole antenna thing from a few years ago).

I've had nothing but good experiences with Samsung. Had a Galaxy S2 and S3, and run one of their tablets as well.

My wife has been an avid apple girl for about 5 years now, and she's done with them. Not enough internal storage, no ability to expand that storage, and all our household products are Android. So shes wanting to move to Android. I'll probably get her an S7.

Dunno if that sways your vote, but I thought I'd relate anyways.

I have no experience with the A3. Never even heard of it to tell you the truth.

After doing a little more research, the A3 is roughly a 2 year old model, you would be better off with the S7 either version as it was released recently, it will have a few more bugs to start out with but should perform better overall.
