  • If you are a Freedom Mobile customer, the Galaxy A5 beats out the S7 because it includes Band 66, the one its LTE network runs on. That alone makes the phone compelling, bearing in mind that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy flagship will support the band too...

  • Like a much more expensive Samsung phone, all the parts just kind of work together, water resistant, USB Type-C
  • Gamers after fastest processor may not be satisfied
  • Now that the Samsung Galaxy S7 is in the process of being replaced by the S8, those who always wanted an S7 need not worry. The Samsung Galaxy A5 is, I believe, something like ninety per cent of an S7, at much less than ninety per cent of its price.Tags A...

  • Good all-rounder, Already hugely discounted
  • Fingerprint reader is temperamental
  • At full price there's not much to recommend the jack of all trades, A5. However, it's already available at $150 discount and that makes it great value. But the fingerprint reader can prove annoying...

  • The one fly in the ointment is that the phone doesn't come with Android 7 Nougat out of the box, which is mildly disappointing, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the Samsung Galaxy A5 is a great mid-range smartphone.It costs just $649 outright o...

  • Abstract:  'Tis the season! Or rather, 'Twas the season, because the end of 2017 flew by us while we were putting the final touches on this buyer's guide. So, we are clearly a bit tardy for a holiday shopping guide but that was more or less intentional on our part...

  • Good, IP68 rated, Very good build, Samsung Pay support, Functional UI, Good, Ergonomic size, good build, IP86 rating, Samsung Pay support, Functional UI
  • Autofocus is slow, struggles in macros, Weak speaker for media playback
  • Samsung's latest A-series offerings hit the right notes when it comes to build quality and design. The Galaxy A7 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017) look and feel incredibly premium, just like their predecessors. We're not big fans of the look of the backs, but t...

  • I'm in two minds about the Samsung Galaxy A5. On the one hand, Samsung Pay and IP68 certification are really nice. On the other hand, the OnePlus 3T offers dramatically more performance for the same price.Even when it comes to cameras, the Vivo V5 Plu...
