How can gsmarena compare this to oneplus x? look at the gap of their price! almost 200 us dollars. I can buy oneplus x and xiami mi4c at the price of one Samsung a5. lmao in fact one plus two is cheaper than samsung a5 2016.

    It´s definitely an upgrade over the S4 in every possible aspect unless some gimmicky features on the S4 like the slow thermometer or eye scroll are your thing. But yes, I don't see a reason to buy this instead of the S5. And wonder how can anyone choose this over the S6 if the price is almost the same. Beyond my understanding.

      [deleted post]my exact feeling about this device, and the editor dares to say this can be an upgrade to those using the s4 and the s5 how can this PoS be an upgrade to the two proper flagships mate. just not posible there is no real benefit that warrants such a decision.

                          bring in the modular phones. so that yearly, you could upgrade specific modules like the processor, and not the whole phone.

                            Quite expensive eh..
                            but it should be fine if it have up to date SoC.

Well, honestly, they have been too ambitious in putting up that phone. I had too replace mine 3 times but it seems all m5 has that defect of shutting down every 5 mins and resetting unless its plugged on a power outlet. A5 2016 makes more sense.

                                    Perfect phone for me. Beautiful and this is the cheapest phone that support sammy pay, i am really interested to try that service. I hope sammy will introduce it soon in my country..

                                    And i totally agree, its too pricey.

                                      Samsung is dreaming....and dreaming ...
                                      again and again....

                                      sell this middle range at $480 USD...(total joke of the year)
