Design and Looks: This premium feel-midrange device is all set to make its customers go gaga over it. The beautiful color variations, the excellent side edges, the smooth touch rear glass, the front screen and all at a price of Rs.22,990 is indeed the best we can ever have. Galaxy A5 has a full metal body which flaunts its luxurious look with a stunning full HD AMOLED display. It is the best option for those who yearn for a premium quality flagship but cannot afford to spend much. The side edges have a matte finish and are much like Galaxy S6 while viewing from many angles. But it is not a light weight phone owing to its metal finish and glass back and also consumes weight due to its large size battery.

Display and Touch: Galaxy A5 has a Super AMOLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 which is an added treat as other phones mostly provide a protection of Gorilla Glass 3. It has a screen size of 5.2inches with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels and 424ppi pixel density. The pixel density is better than Galaxy A7, hence provides a sharper display. It has got a decent visibility even under bright sunlight and precise viewing angles.

Camera: Samsung A5’s camera store is enriched with a support of 16MP at the rear side and 5MP at the front. This phone takes away the market with its solid camera performance. The 13-megapixel primary shooter is accompanied by f/1.9 aperture and LED flash which helped deliver stunning photos with a lively and detailed finish. The camera performs better in bright sunlight and performs equally well in low-light conditions too. The 5 megapixel strengthened secondary camera helps to capture some fantastic selfies in different modes. There is an ample amount of digital sharpening, but the exposure cannot be termed as good as some of the parts of the image turn out to be over warmed when clicked in bright light.

White and Black give a substantial boost to your personality. Different colors are available in different prices though the price variation is not so distinct.
