Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Review

By Roydon Cerejo (Mar 18, 2016)
  • Good
  • Excellent build and design
  • Vibrant display
  • Dual-SIM plus storage expansion
  • Very good battery life
  • Bad
  • No notification LED
  • Slow focus speed for camera
  • Fingerprint sensor can be iffy
  • Absurd launch price

Samsung's Galaxy A-series smartphones are the next best to its flagship Galaxy S lineup. This series is meant for those who want a premium Samsung phone without the bloated price tag. Of course, these devices come devoid of some of the bells and whistles of the uber-premium S-series but you'll find most of the essential flagship-class features. Our review of the Samsung Galaxy A8 last August is testament to a formula that is working for Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Summary

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) takes the style quotient up a notch with curved Gorilla Glass on the front and back of its metal body. The new Galaxy A5 is very well built and easy to grip. The full-HD display produces sharp and vivid pictures making it ideal for watching movies on-the-go. The processor easily manages apps and games, although the 2GB RAM does sometimes feel like a constraint for multitasking. Camera quality is pretty good despite the slow focus speeds and oddly designed camera app. Battery life is another area where the A5 really excels and you also get fast charging to boot. The launch price of the phone makes it a tough sell but if Samsung corrects this soon, it could be a very good buy at around Rs. 20,000.
