Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Smartphone Review

Upgraded mid-range. Just one year after the first Galaxy A5 generation, Samsung introduces the successor. Updates are found in screen, wireless module as well as the SoC. However, the performance still proves to be a minor shortcoming.

superb screen ; very good build ; very long battery life ; low emissions ; expandable storage via micro-SD ; fingerprint scanner

middling performance ; non-removable battery ; slippery back side ; PWM flickering

Samsung's Galaxy A5 (2016) proves to be a successful advancement of the predecessor in most sectors. The mid-range smartphone is again very elegant and, apart from PWM flickering, it has one of the best panels in this segment. The cameras have also...

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Review

Upper mid-range smartphones are exciting. Traditionally, sub-flagship smartphones haven't been getting as much love as they deserve; there haven't been that many 'hero' devices to come out from the more affordable ranks. Last year, we saw a good deal...

Commendable build quality and styling ; Fine camera experience ; More than decent battery life

TouchWiz is a shameful software experience ; System performance isn't up to snuff ; Ships with Android 5.1, when it should have been 6

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is a beautiful, but flawed smartphone. It's hard not to like, or at least appreciate its classy look and quality feel.

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and A7 (2017) First Impressions

Both the devices are essentially the same devices except the screen size and battery capacity. We had the chance to use both the devices for a brief period of time and here are our thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 review

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is a beautiful phone, with a metal and glass design that's similar to the flagship S6. It's a capable performer with an AMOLED display, fingerprint scanner, 8-core processor and good battery life. Now that the price has...

The Galaxy A5 has the premium looks of a flagship phone, but for less money. At launch it was over-priced, but has now fallen to a much more reasonable price, and we highly recommend it.

The year 2015 was the period which turned the tables for Samsung. Two of its devices, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy Note5 released that year received much acclaim, and still are arguably the eye-catching and neatly designed smartphones that...

Weak loudspeaker ; Mediocre camera ; Only 16GB of internal storage ; Priced higher than its competitors

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Review

Samsung launched the Galaxy A5 (2016) , after more than a year of launching its first Galaxy A5 smartphone in its ‘A series' in India. On paper, specifications of the new A5 smartphone are way better than its predecessor. Even the new A5 is priced at...

Brilliant Display; Solid build quality; Good battery life; Good camera

Priced on the higher side; Runs on Android Lollipop; No notification LED; Slippery to hold

At a price tag of Rs. 29,400, the Galaxy A5 (2016) is costly compared to other smartphones in the range, even though it is a good upgrade to . If you spend a bit more you can get the Galaxy S6 and also a LG G4 with a dual SIM slot. Samsung has improved...

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) review

We take a closer look at the third device in Samsung's latest mid-range series, in this in-depth Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) review!

Premium metal and glass construction ; Vibrant Full HD Display ; Micro SD card expansion ; Great battery life ; Fingerprint scanner ; Fast performance

Weak speaker ; Occasional homescreen lag issues ; Mediocre camera

The Galaxy A5 is almost identical to the Galaxy S6, but with mid-range specs, a lower resolution display, and downgraded camera. However, the former actually surpasses the latter in other key areas, including battery life, and the availability of...
