    See other variants reviews Score: 68.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is an impressive phone launched back in the year 2016, counting with a fast 1.6 GHz processor, a quite big 5.2 inches capacitive screen, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Samsung decided to design this cellphone using a fast 1.6 GHz processor and a large 2 GB RAM memory. A good aspect of this device is the 16 GB quite large internal storage memory and an external memory card slot, allowing the user to install hundreds of apps and games without any problem.

This cellphone is offerred in many different color variations, black, pink, white and gold. Samsung made a really good design job making this phone weight just 5.47 ounces. The A5 (2016) is slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.29 inches. Although this phone is just 5.7" long and 2.8 inches wide, it still manages to pack a 5.2 inches display.

The A5 (2016) has two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 megapixels front camera. To complete the camera, it also features a couple of interesting features: auto-focus, flash, geo tagging and optical image stabilization.

Samsung equipped the A5 (2016) with a high-tech 5.2" display, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, making everything look vivid and colorful. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This phone features a big 2900 mAh replaceable battery providing this phone an amazing battery life.

This phone provides wi-fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE-A) , the fastest data connection and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone doesn't have a sim card, because it isn't a GSM cellphone.

This cellphone also includes a few interesting features like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Samsung is offering this phone for 305 dollars, which is a really high price for this type of phone. No matter if you will use it as a social cellphone, want this device to take lots of photos, want a work cellphone or want it for playing games, this device is probably the right choice for you.
