I still find myself going back to my very first android phone (Samsung A5 2015) and still be astonished by the lightweightness of it. I hope Android phone makers would start making small phones again after the iPhone 12 mini announcement.

***** I have the nexus 5 and I carry around a battery pack. Even if I had the option of carrying around a second battery to swap out I probably wouldn't.
***** But the other half do. Plus, plastic survives accidents better than metal. Plastic allows for better reception than metal. And if you can change the battery, your phone doesn't go to crap after 300 charges. You just buy a new battery. The battery life on my old nexus 5 dropped off significantly after about a year.
I just found this phone in my broken pile. Absolutely LOVED it. It was and still is so slim amd sleek. Wish the specs were up to date cuz I would possibly repair and use it as a spare. Currently rocking a samsung note 9
I have one of these and to my surprise, I loved it so much. The design is very nice and light, and it performs fairly well without hang or overheating. The only problem may be difficult to focus on camera. The battery is amazing, probably because it doesn't need to support those unnecessary yet power consuming features most high high range phones force user to use. I actually really loved this phone....
Apparently he doesn't know what lag means... This doesn't happen on a Nexus or just about any other Android phone. I'm an iPhone user and have zero problem with Android devices I just think people need to look past Samsung as "The Android Experience"
Great review!! Thanks Kevin! I live in Bangkok, and I was considering this phone for my wife as she is still using an iPhone 4S. I've played with this phone and compared it to my Note 4...very impressive. But for the Mrs., it will definitely be a step up. Thanks again for the awesome review!!!
its good you did the review, it does not matter if it comes to the USA or not, I live in UK, we have it here, and I am interested :) your videos are watched from all over the world.
This is almost the way I want Samsung to make their flagships. All aluminium, precisely engineered, thin and light. I really hope to see the S6 in a similar shape. Getting rid of the physical button is not happening, but it would be my personal choice.
I was considering both but after holding the a5 I was sold. Feels solid and like a very high end phone. I had a z3 before this and there is no difference in speed. the only thing missing on the a5 is a fingerprint sensor, which doesn't work well on the s5 anyway.
I finally caved in and rooted my Galaxy Note 4 and flashed cyanogenmod. Its confirmed: Touchwiz really muddles a fine piece of hardware. Its a damn shame your average consumer will never experience the power Galaxy phones offer once you remove POS Touchwiz.
Actually the only way to experience the true power of your device is to take the time learning how to optimize TW. It's multiwindow functionality is the best in Android, you lose that going to AOSP. You also lose the drivers that make the camera so good. Get a custom kernel, optimize all of its setting for your needs, do the usual TW speed hacks in the build prop, etc. then you can truly getfull p erformance out of your device.
Andrew Kim s pen works as a stylus and nothing more. Josh Matthews The beauty of android is exactly that, we can optimize our devices as we please. I'm a minimalist and prefer the unadulterated version of android as it offers the most pleasant experience. I wish OEM's would give us vanilla android out of the box and offer their features as an add-on from the play store or at the initial boot up screen and let us decide what we want instead of shoving it down our throat.
***** That would be the dream yes. The real dream for me is what Saygus is doing with their new phone. Root optional out of the box, boot loader unlockable, multiboot from SD. Then you can run as many roms as you want. I haven't even been able to dual boot TW & AOSP since the Note 2.
I always want this phone to be mine but prices last year is high..With A5 2016 came out the price has gone down almost half in my country i brought it 3 days ago i am very happy with this phone
I have this phone and i have to say,it's brilliant.Camera,display,speed,software,build quality,features are all from flagship devices.Incredible phone.And i don't see why he criticizes the front camera so much,on my A5 it's one of the best(if not the best)front camera on a smartphone
Xtr3amGam3R they look completely different to the S3 era Samsung phones, and every progression of them "looked the same"... obviously they do look different
I always want this phone to be mine but prices last year is high..With A5 2016 came out the price has gone down almost half in my country i brought it 3 days ago i am very happy with this phn
+sandeep natikar lol yeah...a friend actually showed me this even tho I had my mind set on the S5 but I went ahead and got it I mean it does have a better processor etc...
i want the back cover to be removel or alse not buying the s6 just going to stay with the s5 and i love touch wiz there is nothing wrong with it or it being plastic wtf people if u dont like the phone just buy a lame iphone
Half the people I know don't carry a second battery. TouchWiz users have claimed the most lag when using other devices beside Samsung and you should too. Plastic is cheap.
uhu... How would anybody like touchwiz. Ugly as fuck, those wierd system sounds, lags more than any other UI. I'd say this phone is superior to Sammy S5
i like android as a phone, apple as a tablet and windows as a laptop! I love it all. people who are windows fan, android users or ios users. all of these devices are just the same. they differ in brand, style, ram, interface and many more. In my opinion, I like all of these devices!!
This phone was actually my dad's but it's screen isn't working so I was debating on wether I should fix it and keep it or wait till I have more money to buy a new phone😂
Some feedback: measurements in metric aswell and kilograms/grams your international so make sure android aauthority doesnt skip phones and divices which are regional
Can you suggest which will be a better phone in terms of good quality camera as well as gaming performance and touch interface? Samsung Galaxy A5 or HTC Desire 820? Which is a better buy overall?
I got the A5 today and I really LOVE it! its so simple and stylish, feels great and its super fast! I upgraded from the s3 mini. was thinking of the s4 but I figured out why not go for a change, so I got the A5 ;)
Oo.. yeah I love it!, if your comfortable with how it feels in your hand and def a selfie girl like me then you should go for it! x its what you're comfortable with. :)
I just upgraded from the S 2 ( it was a good phone that lasted 3 years ) to the S 5 and so far I like it a lot , big difference , great camera and it charges very fast , the battery lasts a lot longer than the S 2 , I noticed that when I make calls , the sound is now better than the S 2 , the screen size is a bit bigger with a better resolution and with nice crisp colors , too many apps that I found that I really do not need so I got rid of them but other apps I like them a lot which is cool , love the video great HD quality , it looks nice as well , it is well organized . so far I really like this phone and thanks for the review , good video
I'm torn between the A5 2016 and the Oneplus 2.. Which of the two has the better battery life(or is it all the same after the Marshmallow update?) and which one has the better camera?
"Although mostly aluminum, it is very light".. Well, Aluminum is lighter then plastic and it can get the job done with less material... It is one of the lightest materials, for this sort of construction, so there should be no surprises there..
Any news on 5.1? And is there now a flashlight toggle in the shortcuts? and any significant speed or performance improvements on camera, multitasking, browser & app opening?
wait so this phone is not sold around the world?? also can u use this in dubai or anyhwhere else around the world if i buy this in korea?? I'm a student living in dubai planning to buy this when i visit korea in summer..
i am looking for a phone that will be ok for 2 years at least and i am thinking samsung galaxy A5 and iphone 5c...which do you beleive that will be better?
Hy. I am confused of buying a5 or a7. In some videos I have got a7 has a heating problem. Does a5 have same problem or a7 doesn't has heating issue. I have budget of buying a7 but heating issue confused me. So guys help me which one is best for me. Thank you
So it's mono. But millions of people listen to music in mono daily. Cars, clubs, shops. With 2 speakers so close together you'd get little stereo separation anyway.
I'm considering it in 2016.. is it still worth it? would you propose something better for a price under 200 euros? Also, I want quick, good cameras! thanks
According to recent news, Samsung is in fact trying to reduce its weight on the processor "to the level of the nexus 6". Whether or not that's actually possible, I don't know. But it does seem like Samsung is making the skin less heavy and taking out the less useful bits.
I still find myself going back to my very first android phone (Samsung A5 2015) and still be astonished by the lightweightness of it. I hope Android phone makers would start making small phones again after the iPhone 12 mini announcement.
I have this phone. I love it a lot. But my classmate dropped it and the body scratched. I proceeded to beat the hell out of him.

Great budget smartphone from Samsung! Definitely the most beautiful budget friendly smartphone in the market! Great job, #KingofAndroid !
Another Samsung phone with mid-range specs and flag ship price. Samsung will continue to lose market with such lame devices.
Who else is watching this video with a Samsung A5 and thought : wow !!! my phone is pretty good tho 😁😁😁
me!!!
+Kaushik Woolla high five ✋
fangirl XD high five
Hehe. me 😆😆😆😆
same I love it I went from a 5
I'm still using this phone. 2019. Sweet phone. Not as laggy as I'd expect a 4 year old phone to be!
In my use, it's laggy as hell. You can't even play a simple gane without it taking 10 minutes to load.
I dunno why people are willing to trade removable batteries for a metal body. makes no sense to me.
Half the people who say what you just said don't carry around a second battery
***** I have the nexus 5 and I carry around a battery pack. Even if I had the option of carrying around a second battery to swap out I probably wouldn't.
***** But the other half do.
Plus, plastic survives accidents better than metal. Plastic allows for better reception than metal. And if you can change the battery, your phone doesn't go to crap after 300 charges. You just buy a new battery.
The battery life on my old nexus 5 dropped off significantly after about a year.

They have to make money somehow.
I've had a Samsung phone for a while and I have never needed to remove the battery.. On the other side I would like a more solid feel.
I just found this phone in my broken pile. Absolutely LOVED it. It was and still is so slim amd sleek. Wish the specs were up to date cuz I would possibly repair and use it as a spare.
Currently rocking a samsung note 9

The phone design is one of the best designs that samsung did, it feels classy and premiume, but sadly A5 is weak and laggy :/
A5(2016) is way better
y
ea ik my friends haves one
Just a quick little nostalgia trip
3:50 "Im not seeing this touchwiz lag"...*camera takes 4 full seconds and a couple awkward swipes before it closes*
I know right. Haha
Apparently he doesn't know what lag means... This doesn't happen on a Nexus or just about any other Android phone. I'm an iPhone user and have zero problem with Android devices I just think people need to look past Samsung as "The Android Experience"
Still using this phone sept 2022 ..works great
Guys! Dont say Samsung is shit. We are one big android family. We whould diss iphones. Not Android phones! :)
Should*
True DAT
We all android cousins
neh it's apple and samsung are shit overall..don't know why these 2 are leading anyway.
Darrell Ng well Samsung still tries hard
Olli Jokinen This is true xD, not a big samsung fan but designwise they've gone a big step forward from the godawful S5 :p
Just got this phone last week. Loving it so far.
+liam kirk getting it tomorrow. it seems very good!
Does it have a good picture quality and front camera flash?
does it have snapchat's effects ??
+Justine Vidal it does
The shape actually reminds me of the Galaxy SII
Yeah! I used to love the SII but now I think its s*** due to the lack of features
;) iPhone 4?
Yeah, I was looking for mine and thinking the same(So yeah, i still have a SII) lol
Rashad yes we can recomend to get samsung galaxy A5 AND A3 oke-ponsel.blogspot.com/2015/05/harga-samsung-galaxy-a5.html
This is the most honest review of galqcy A5. Thanks for not being biasd and giving the actual fair review.
I'm still using this phone😂

i have it for 1.5 year now and im so happy. after 1.5 year it still works the same.
janyabebe heyy same story I'm still really happy with it
its good you did the review, it does not matter if it comes to the USA or not, I live in UK, we have it here, and I am interested :) your videos are watched from all over the world.
is it give good performance still now???
does this explode
This is almost the way I want Samsung to make their flagships. All aluminium, precisely engineered, thin and light. I really hope to see the S6 in a similar shape. Getting rid of the physical button is not happening, but it would be my personal choice.
Should I buy A5 or S5?
s5
I was considering both but after holding the a5 I was sold. Feels solid and like a very high end phone. I had a z3 before this and there is no difference in speed. the only thing missing on the a5 is a fingerprint sensor, which doesn't work well on the s5 anyway.
+Taylor Bond samsung s5 is much better than A5, dont give a flying fuck for metal or plastic
I care about the look and feel of my phone as much as the functionality. S5 is just plastic and really feels cheap.
In terms of look, A5 is better. ?
i'm using samsung galaxy a5 since november 2015...i love it very much
I finally caved in and rooted my Galaxy Note 4 and flashed cyanogenmod. Its confirmed: Touchwiz really muddles a fine piece of hardware. Its a damn shame your average consumer will never experience the power Galaxy phones offer once you remove POS Touchwiz.
Does s pen work?

I Am watching in 2024😅😅😅😅
This is literally the first phone review since CES I've seen
CES is great and all but after a while and no big mobile devices shown it gets boring.

I broke mine last year ..
But I bought the A51 lol
I have that phone, and it is great. I have it over a year and it still runs fine.
A new samsung again! there are just too many of them
I agree and they all seem to look the same
Xtr3amGam3R they look completely different to the S3 era Samsung phones, and every progression of them "looked the same"... obviously they do look different
Welshy2705 honestly they have a little but with so many Galaxys coming out all the time I don't see difference
It's just evolution over revolution :)
That's why they lose tons of money.
Does the lacking of Notification LED lights matter?
Just because of touchwiz, Samsung could as well be running jelly bean and you will never know....
The keyboard sucks... no arrow buttons - the text dont flow out on tyhe screen in horizontal mode - and theres no symbol for recieved messages
Samsung Galaxy A5 or Pizza ?
Pizza hands down
Not even a Fried Chicken?

Can you suggest which will be a better phone in terms of good quality camera as well as gaming performance and touch interface? Samsung Galaxy A5 or HTC Desire 820?
Which is a better buy overall?
I think samsung is releasing 1 android phone per week!!!!
I got the A5 today and I really LOVE it! its so simple and stylish, feels great and its super fast! I upgraded from the s3 mini. was thinking of the s4 but I figured out why not go for a change, so I got the A5 ;)
oh Yeah the camera is 😍👍

oopps , still I like the phone lol
I got mine last week and i think its amazing! :)
I'm torn between the A5 2016 and the Oneplus 2..
Which of the two has the better battery life(or is it all the same after the Marshmallow update?) and which one has the better camera?
interested should i buy it but what major advantage i will get ?
Nice review..but if I buy this device from India then will it support canadian networks?
Yes, as long as you use an Indian SIM with it first, later after at least 1 phone call, you can use any SIM from any country. Hope I helped.
I have this phone and I love it. I've seen reviews and I don't get why people aren't a huge fan of it. it's an amazing phone.
+jemharris whats the price ??
is it lagging??
Same configuration in Xiaomi costs 1/4th of this price....fcuk samsung !!
2years 8months.
Bought from uae.
Dropped a lot but no problem in display.
Heats sometimes.batry drained since updated to lollipop.
"Although mostly aluminum, it is very light".. Well, Aluminum is lighter then plastic and it can get the job done with less material... It is one of the lightest materials, for this sort of construction, so there should be no surprises there..
Any news on 5.1? And is there now a flashlight toggle in the shortcuts? and any significant speed or performance improvements on camera, multitasking, browser & app opening?
Where the camera,flash and speaker are located. Its the same spots as the Samsung galaxy S3.
Should I buy this or keeping my GS4?
Keep ur phone dude. the A5 is a Mid-Ranged phone. Besides, its not going to the States.
Roynaldo Janwar My girlfriend also has a Galaxy S4, on contract though, but when the contract is finished, I'm thinking of getting her an A5.
Craig Nicholson you don't have to wait to finish the contract. You can just unlock the A5 and use it with her current carrier
hello kevin.... nice review.... just want to know about the battery life of this phone.... please tell us about the battery life...
Why so many ellipses? Lol
This is one of you best videos. Well put together and flowed nicely. Thanks
sony xperia z2 or samsung galaxy a5, which one
or which one which is between £200-300
what about the life of the battery?
wait so this phone is not sold around the world?? also can u use this in dubai or anyhwhere else around the world if i buy this in korea?? I'm a student living in dubai planning to buy this when i visit korea in summer..
I am still using this phone
Do you guys get to keep your review units?
Just got it, gold, absolutely amazing phone
The HTC One (M7) can now be had for approximately the same price as this A5. Do you guys think the One would still be a better option?
And the battery life is really good on the a5. Lasts a full day, or even one and a half days
I just got the Samsung galaxy A5 and I want to know if it is waterproof
why does it have kitkat? Lollipop came out a while ago now, and it's kind of sad that they haven't ported it yet.
With Holo Louncher the UI gets much better...and feel like the quality of the screen colours increases too :)
Using this phone for one month...battery hasnot any issues of draining ..cool performance, beautiful mobile
How's the battery life?
i am using this phone and its about 2.5 months..battery life is very good. not any problem i am facing...
Sim katine laga tha 2 sim laga
i am looking for a phone that will be ok for 2 years at least and i am thinking samsung galaxy A5 and iphone 5c...which do you beleive that will be better?
Hy.
I am confused of buying a5 or a7.
In some videos I have got a7 has a heating problem. Does a5 have same problem or a7 doesn't has heating issue. I have budget of buying a7 but heating issue confused me. So guys help me which one is best for me.
Thank you
which camera is better a5 or s5?? am using s4 so want a better camera than S4!
any weakness from this type? which one do you prefer, A5, k zoom, or note 3 neo? help me to decide. thanks Android Authority
Android Authority great review..@4:12 whats the name of that game?
Which is better samsung a5 or samsung s5 mini ?
So, how's the battery life for this device? i'm assuming it has decent on screen time because it's only 720p rather than 1080p or 1440p.
no, same battery size with same battery life. just the outside changed without barmy swaping.
Is Samsung Galaxy A5 getting Android Lollipop later this year ?
So it's mono. But millions of people listen to music in mono daily. Cars, clubs, shops. With 2 speakers so close together you'd get little stereo separation anyway.
Does it work on AT&T 3g 4g LTE bands? currently have galaxy alpha and this phone looks awesome. Thanks Android Authority!
I'm considering it in 2016.. is it still worth it? would you propose something better for a price under 200 euros? Also, I want quick, good cameras! thanks
Didn't this phone have the new different themes on it?
Is Touchwiz actually reduced or did Samsung just hide some of the features?
According to recent news, Samsung is in fact trying to reduce its weight on the processor "to the level of the nexus 6". Whether or not that's actually possible, I don't know. But it does seem like Samsung is making the skin less heavy and taking out the less useful bits.
Dear can you tell me A5 have Led Notification or not
Samsung galaxy a 5 or sony xperia c 4? Which one better? Thx
