Samsung Galaxy A5 Reviews & Specifications

Yet again Samsung has introduced another mid range smartphone in the market, i.e. Samsung Galaxy A5. It's a new "A Series" that are introduced in the market. It is made of quad-core Snadpragon 410 processor and 5 inch screen with a 720P resolution. It has a 13MP Camera and a 2300mAh battery.

It has a resolution of 720*1280P with a Super AMOLED panel that provides a great contrast & better viewing angles. It is powered on Anrodid Kitkat 4.4 OS & its upgradable to 5.0 Lollipop with Samson TouchWiz Skin (Customizable Skin). With a bit of quad-core Snadpragon 410 processor, you will not find any lag in playing any high resolution games.

If we will look at the 13MP camera (rear) then it's more than sufficient to shoot some good pictures. The front camera has a 5MP camera. The Samsung Galaxy A5 supports 1080P Full HD recording, but it lacks 4K Video recording.

You can buy this phone with a price of Rs.25000 (expected) and that's very high according to us. With phone likes MI3, MI4, MotoG, Yu Yureka, OPO, its very tough for Samsung to launch in the market. You can compare Samsung Galaxy A5 and Yu Yureka with its specification here. If you are looking for a Galaxy phone without all the power and features that comes inside a Galaxy, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is for you.

  • Better camera
  • Affordable price
  • Fast processor
  • Android upgradable to 5.0 Lollipop.
  • Battery is not user replaceable.

Samsung Galaxy A5 and A5 Duos review: Five star

Samsung did well with the Galaxy A5, which should surprise no one who have already seen the Alpha - or the Galaxy A3 for that matter. The phone is built to flagship standards. It has great aesthetics and Samsung have picked the materials to match the purpose. Throw in a 720p Super AMOLED, a 13MP camera and the potent software package with Multi window and other perks here and there, and you have a phone that's more than adequately equipped to rule the midrange.

But in its quest to quiet the naysayers who slammed Samsung phones as cheap, plasticky and full of useless bloatware, the South Korean manufacturer may have gotten a little carried away. read more →

  • All-metal body with premium matte finish and low 123g weight
  • 16GB of built-in storage
  • MicroSD card slot
  • Active noise cancellation via dedicated mic
  • 2,300mAh battery
  • Snapdragon 410 is more befitting cheaper, lower midrange devices
  • It's comparatively pricey for the hardware features offered
  • On the Dual-SIM version you can't have both a secondary SIM and microSD card inside
  • Battery is non-removable

Samsung Galaxy A5 and A5 Duos review: Five star

The Samsung Galaxy A5 is a fine phone for the mid range market - albeit a bit under powered, coming with a CPU that's only marginally better than that found in most Android Wear smart watches.

The design is definitely a step forward and, along with the 13MP camera, will probably be what tempts customers looking for a new handset when browsing the shelves of the local phone seller.

  • Neat design
  • More powerful screen
  • Still feels slightly odd
  • Could be more expensive than better specced models

Samsung Galaxy A5 review: Marvellous exterior, mid-range interior

As a nod to where Samsung is heading with design, the Galaxy A5 is a great example of quality. Indeed, we'd rather have one in the pocket than the flagship Galaxy S5 - but that's just about to be replaced with the S6 come April, which fuses the best of both design and power worlds together.If you're looking for a slender, attractive phone that has the main necessary feature set on board then the Galaxy A5 does a grand job. read more →

  • Delightful design (prefer it to SGS5),
  • Bright and colorful display
  • Fair price makes more sense than original Galaxy Alpha,
  • Powerful enough to cater for most,
  • 4G connectivity
  • Not Android Lollipop
