          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

              AnonD-749471, 03 Apr 2018Hey... could anyone tell me whether their phone crashed after upgrading to the nougat 7.0 and ... moreMy father's A5 have not crased single time after upgrading to Nouget. But if your device does, then it must be cause by 2 things. First left over of your old OS files and data. Second some old apps which needs to be removed and install fresh.

              I advice you should do a factory reset after taking a back ups and removing the memory card. After the fresh installation complete, restore the data and get the apps only from Playstore. Please don't unistall any dubious APK or patched games, as they have issues. Regards.

                    Today I woke up with dead pixels in top right corner, now half of the screen is dead. No cracks. Nice Samsung, nice. Looking forward to A8 2018. I am suspicious now about their "best in class display".
