Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Review

Score: 75.8 / 100

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is a high-end cellphone released some years ago, in 2017, counting with a good size 5.2" screen, a great Octa-Core CPU ticking at 1900 MHz, a 16 megapixels back-facing camera and a 16 megapixels front-facing camera.

This phone is a compact phone, taking into account that it presents a 5.2 inches screen and it's just 5.75 inches long. This cellphone has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. This phone feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone of this size. About its materials quality, this cellphone is majorly built with Glass and Metal . Samsung sells the A5 (2017) in a wide range of colors like black sky, blue mist, gold sand and peach cloud.

This cellphone includes a gorgeous 5.2 inches display with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look vivid and colorful.

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is equipped with a Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7880 chip, which holds a very powerful 1.9 gigahertz Octa-Core processing unit with a big 3 GB RAM. This cellphone counts with a large 32 GB internal memory and an SD card slot, allowing you to install tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without having to worry about running out of space.

The A5 (2017) offers wifi connection (although it can't share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A 4G ultra fast data connection and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSPA technologies. This phone uses two Nano SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.

This phone has two cameras, a 16 megapixels back facing camera and a 16 mega-pixels front facing camera. This cellphone can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps.

This cellphone comes with an awesome 3000 mAh Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours without charging it. An issue to take into account is that the A5 (2017)'s battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose capacity, although with its 3000 mAh you will probably replace this device before that becomes an issue.

This cellphone also features lots of great features as Fingerprint ID, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth cellphones and accessories), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone is probably very appropiate if you want a device for work, need a phone to majorly use social networks, are an amateur photographer or want a gaming device.
