Comparison review
The nubia Red Magic 5S has an overall score of 76.2, which is a little bit better than the Galaxy A5's 72.4 score. Both of these phones work with Android operating system, but nubia Red Magic 5S has an older 10 version and Galaxy A5 has Android 4.4.4. Although the nubia Red Magic 5S is incredibly newer than the Galaxy A5, it is way thicker and heavier.
The nubia Red Magic 5S counts with a bit faster processor than Galaxy A5, because although it has a 32-bits processor instead of 64-bits and doesn't have an extra GPU, it also counts with a higher number of cores (and also faster) and a greater amount of RAM. The nubia Red Magic 5S has a bit more vivid screen than Galaxy A5, because it has a really bigger screen, a way better resolution of 1080 x 2340 and more pixels per inch of display.
The nubia Red Magic 5S has a much better storage to store more apps and games than Samsung Galaxy A5, because although it has no slot for an SD memory card, it also counts with 128 GB internal memory. Nubia Red Magic 5S has a very superior camera than Galaxy A5, because it has a way higher video definition and a much higher 64 mega pixels resolution camera in the back.
The nubia Red Magic 5S has a much longer battery lifetime than Samsung Galaxy A5, because it has a 96% bigger battery capacity.
Although nubia Red Magic 5S is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Galaxy A5, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Galaxy A5. So if you want that extra features, you can buy nubia Red Magic 5S, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Galaxy A5, letting go some specifications.
