          I have had a problem where it has told me that I have no sim in when I do. This has happened once. Had to re insert the sim and reboot. Annoying but hopefully doesn't happen again.

            Don't go for this phone. I purchased an A5 / SM510f

            It slows down while playing very light games Piano tiles 2 and shadow fight.

            Lags a lot despite the fact that it is updated to 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

                    I bought the phone on June 15, upgraded from Nokia 520. It cost me 310eur. I will just say this, I fell in love with the phone. I have had zero problems, a couple of laggs (but that is normal like in any device).
                    Heat? IT heats up when you charge it, quite normal with the QC Charger, regular temperature while using is 31-34, quite normal when you think about that phones don`t have cooling systems and your hands transfer heat while holding it given to the fact that your constant body temperature is 36,6 degrees Celsius.
                    2GB of RAM? You don`t need any more. 2 is quite sufficient. I have had 17 apps open at the same time and no problem running all of them. And who the hell uses 17 apps at the same time? Think about it. The max is 5.
                    Camera? I am astonished! I still cant believe how fast it works and the quality of the pictures taken.
                    Battery? Heavy usage, one day. Normal usage, 2 to 3 days. It doesn`t matter, you can charge it in less than an hour.
                    Performance ? Fast as lightning. Everything is fast as hell on it.
                    Screen? Superb! I have nothing else to say or add.
                    One other thing. If you go for Samsung or Apple (new phones from the store not used ones, never buy a used phone) you have nothing to fear. Both companies produce quality and performance. Neither one of them is better than the other. They offer different products for different clients and costumers, that`s it.
                    Cheers from a Macedonian A5 user.

                      A510F MM question

                      Can anyone tell me if once upgrading to MM the phone dialers favorite view is now a white rectangle per contact and not a circle as in lollypop?

                      I'm using a black dark theme so black circles with pics are better.

                      I played with a S7 the other week and downloaded the same theme on my A5 and the S7's favorites were white blocks even though black theme has added, def not what I want on my A5 ;/

                      If I update to MM this will drive me nuts I tell ya
