Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 Rose Golden SIM Tray Replacement

Product Overview

Replacement parts for the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 are becoming scarce in Pakistan — this was a compact mid-ranger that many people held onto well past its prime. This rose golden SIM tray restores Nano-SIM connectivity to your A3 2016, keeping a phone that still handles everyday tasks perfectly functional. Made from durable plastic, it slots into the metal-framed body without any fuss.

Compatibility Details

This tray fits the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (SM-A310F) exclusively. The A3 2016 uses a single Nano-SIM configuration — one physical SIM slot with no hybrid microSD sharing on the tray itself (the A3 2016 has a separate dedicated microSD slot).

Be careful when ordering — Samsung's A-series naming is confusing, and these trays are not interchangeable:

• Galaxy A3 2015 (SM-A300F) — different body dimensions (130.1 x 65.5 x 6.9 mm vs 134.5 x 65.2 x 7.3 mm) and a completely different tray design
• Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-A320F) — larger chassis (135.4 x 66.2 x 7.9 mm) with a redesigned tray mechanism
• Galaxy A30 (SM-A305F) — a much larger phone (158.5 mm tall) with dual Nano-SIM tray, totally incompatible
• Galaxy A31 (SM-A315F) — different generation entirely, dual SIM tray with different slot layout
• Galaxy A32 (SM-A325F) — another larger device (158.9 mm) with dual Nano-SIM configuration

Device-Specific Context

The Galaxy A3 2016 was Samsung's first A3 with a glass-and-metal sandwich design and IP68 water resistance — a rare feature for a mid-range phone at the time. A properly seated SIM tray is essential to maintaining that water-resistant seal. After installing this replacement tray, make sure the rubber gasket around the tray slot is intact and that the tray clicks firmly into place without any gaps. If the gasket is damaged or missing, the IP68 rating will be compromised. The phone's compact 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display and Always-On Display feature made it a favourite for one-handed use, and with its Gorilla Glass 4 protection on both sides, many units are still in solid condition across Pakistan.

Color Matching

This Rose Golden tray is the closest match to the Pink Gold variant of the Galaxy A3 2016. The phone was also released in Black, White, and Gold — if your A3 2016 is a different colour, check our other SIM tray listings on dastyab.pk for a matching option.

Practical Information

Since the A3 2016 has IP68 water resistance, pay close attention to the tray's rubber seal during replacement. Press the tray in gently until it sits completely flush with the frame — there should be no visible gap. If you plan on keeping this phone going, a new SIM tray is one of the cheapest repairs you can make. Available with cash on delivery across Pakistan at dastyab.pk.
