Samsung has recently introduced its new Galaxy A (2017) series and confirmed all three smartphones will be available for pre-order in select markets starting today.

The official announcement mentions the Galaxy A3 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) will be initially available for purchase in Russia, but that their availability will expand to additional countries across the globe in the coming weeks.

Well, it looks like at least one retailer in the UK is now taking pre-orders for two of the three Galaxy A (2017) series smartphones recently unveiled by Samsung.

The Galaxy A3 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017) are now available for pre-order at MobileFun, but they won't come for cheap. Customers who can't wait for more retailers to start taking pre-orders for either of the two devices can now pre-purchase the Galaxy A3 (2017) for £299 (€350 / $365), or the Galaxy A5 (2017) for £399 (€470 / $490).

These prices are a bit higher than those Samsung recommends for its Galaxy A 2017 series phones: Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) official price (MSRP) €330, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) official price (MSRP) €430, Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) official price (MSRP) €500.

It's also worth mentioning that these devices are not yet available in stock, so you must register your email address to be notified when they hit the shelves.

We believe both Galaxy A (2017) smartphones that are now available for pre-order in the UK will arrive in stock by the end of the month, so if you must get either of the two, then you will have to wait 2 or 3 more weeks for them to arrive.

The third Galaxy A (2017) series phone, the Galaxy A7, won't be available in all countries right away. Samsung hasn't been very clear about where it will be launched first and whether or not it will be released globally.
