In both cases, I advise you to visit a nearby authorized Samsung service center for help. Please don't try to do any fix by yourself. Regards.

        My A5 2016, shuts down all of sudden when there is enough batter left..25%-35%..sometimes more. The problem is also that it has to be connected to a Power supply to restart..When I power it, the battery rises to 25-35% and then I can restart the phone and leave it on charge to use it. Please can anyone tell me whats wrong here and whats the solution??? Thanks in advance.

              If they're not going to update our A5's to Oreo then at leat they should upgrade them to Nougat 7.1.1 or send us a little update to the latest Samsung experience.

              Don't they want my next phone to be Samsung?

                                      Average phone
                                      Looking good, Screen awesome , Battery life poor
                                      Very Much Heating , Hanging at sometime (But not so hang compared to other samsung mobiles)
                                      Camera Average , Speeker good , RAM and ROM not much in this range of price
                                      Only available 2gb ram and 16gb internal

                                      Last word : I Think This phone is not valued for money
                                      For watching videos and playing games it is good but peefomance and other systems is just not upto the mark
