Abstract: “We took the Samsung Galaxy A5's shooters for a spin and here are the results”The camera is one of the stronger points for Samsung smartphones, especially in the high-end range. That's why it's no surprise to see that its loaded flagship, the Note 4 (revi...
Stylish metal casing, Plain, elegant design, Very slim and stiff casing, Screen's superb color reproduction, High brightness and very good viewing angles, Extensive software, Decent camera equipment, Accurate touchscreen, Virtually no palpable temperature
The Galaxy A5 is not exactly cheap, but the buyer gets a round total package. The stylish, slim and very rigid casing sets standards in the mid-range, the camera configuration is generous, and the input devices are pleasingly accurate. Besides that, it sp...

Excellent build quality. Great display and camera. Snapdragon 410 is a modest, powerful enough upgrade.
This midrange handset is at least $100 too expensive. No Android 5.0 upgrade just yet.
When I first heard that I would be receiving a Galaxy A5 to review (thanks to the wonderful folks at Expansys ), I thought it would be another crappy mid-range Samsung device to fill out their ridiculously huge smartphone line-up. The final product was a ...
Aluminium build feels great, Fast and accurate camera, Snappy performance, Beautiful screen
Awkward location for speaker grill, Status-quo Samsung design, Chrome around lip chips easily
8.5 As expected the Samsung Galaxy A5 does not disappoint and is a great mid-range offering from the company. While it looks the same as the last few generations, the change in the build material from plastic to metal finally allows for the premium feel i...

If you're looking for a new phone, and if you don't want to shell out the $1000-plus that Samsung, Apple and other smartphone makers charge for their best handsets, then you're necessarily going to be looking at a mid-range phone. And as mid-range phones...

Super thin design at only 6.3mm, Screen is very good for the market this phone is aimed at, Battery life is outstanding, not just for the capacity of battery; stand alone outstanding, Sound quality is very good for ringtones and music
Sound (ie. ringtones) could be louder, Slim and lightweight design makes the phone feel fragile, Volume rocker is in a bad position for right handed users, I keep turning the in call volume down, The camera is capable, but not outstanding and Samsung can
Make no mistake, if you're looking at the Galaxy A5 as a flagship device you're going to be disappointed with pretty much everything that matters to flagship buyers. Being fair though, the specs aren't bad, they're just not up to the level current flagshi...
Feels great in the hands; Features metal in its design, and even supports upgradeable memory; Mostly decent performance all round; Takes nanoSIM; Excellent battery life; Decent assortment of cameras for a mid-range phone;
Battery isn't removable; Slowdowns can be seen, particularly when you're trying to see a photo you've taken; Arrives with Android 4.4 “KitKat”, not the latest “Lollipop”;
Samsung sure manages to surprise us every so often, and while we've loved seeing what its engineers can do in regards to a flagship product, it's this year's mid-range marvel that is impressing us greatly, taking technology from the past year, a design th...
Still feels slightly odd, Could be more expensive than better specced models
The Samsung Galaxy A5 is a fine phone for the mid range market – albeit a bit underpowered, coming with a CPU that's only marginally better than that found in most Android Wear smartwatches. The design is definitely a step forward and, along with the 13M...
