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...

Abstract: The smartphone market is an very Darwinian place. What was considered market leading only a year ago can quickly become pedestrian as the market evolves at a breakneck pace.Take Samsung's Galaxy S5. On paper it ticked all the right boxes, yet only a year...

Very attractive, Excellent build quality, Gorgeous screen
Performance lags slightly behind rivals, Speaker is easy to accidentally muffle
If you want all the style and panache of the latest Samsung flagship without the premium price, the Galaxy A5 delivers it in spades. What's more, the screen, battery and performance are all excellent...
Flagship-like quality on a budget, Lengthy battery life, Versatile camera
Middling performance
With Samsung's as-yet-unreleased Galaxy S8 already grabbing headlines, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is in danger of having its thunder stolen. Don't disregard this little mid-range handset just yet, though. It's just the ticket if you're not fond of handing over...
Great design and build, AMOLED display for rich visuals, Always On display
Camera could be better, last year's software
For a phone that costs less than £400, the Galaxy A5 is impressive in its design and build. Even its display and performance punch beyond that price point. In many ways it's a cheaper version of the Galaxy S7, except it doesn't really feel cheap at all wh...
The Galaxy A5 found itself lost in the shuffle last year because its price was awkwardly positioned between better-value, lower-end phones and faster mid-range phones. This year, with its price bump and processor boost, it may be able to shake that off, b...
Under £300, Beautiful build quality, Expandable storage, 4G connectivity
Runs Android KitKat, small battery, Still has old TouchWiz, Underpowered Processor, Shaky camera output in lowlight conditions
The Galaxy A5 has taken on the beautiful build quality that we first saw in the Galaxy Alpha and brought it to a very affordable price point. There are a few hits and misses- the camera could have been better, we would have loved to have Lollipop as oppo...
