                    Bought my A5 2016 3 days ago, very pleased with battery performance. Took me 8.5 hours SOT with moderate to heavy use, wifi always on, 2 hours of gaming, music, videocall, browsing the internet, and watching movies and videos, besides texting and calling. Vibrant screen color, thanks to its 1080p super amoled screen even in direct sunlight screen is very visible. My concern is the speaker volume, it's not that loud compared to my LG G3 before, since the a5 is not a flagship phone compared to G3. Hope there is a tweak to increase the speaker volume beyond its default max setting without rooting the phone. But overall i'm very impressed and satisfied with the A5 2016 specially its premium built quality.

                          HONEST REVIEW::

                          *looks and feel: 5/5

                          Looks awesome ..
                          Definitely makes you feel out of crowd

                          *Camera : 3.5/5

                          Quality of rear camera is awesome ..
                          Focusing is bad

                          Front camera is good but it could have been better ..

                          *Basic Features : (audio quality, cellular quality ,net browsing, touch sensivity, battery backup ) : 5/5

                          Everything is perfect

                          *Performance : 3.5/5

                          Performance is good ..
                          Multi tasking is good ..
                          Installed 4-5 games like colour switch, zombie age , train simulator 2 etc runs smoothly

                          But there is little lagginess in software ..
                          Sometime apps get forced stop like
                          'Unfortunately this app have been stopped'

                          *My overall rating 4/5 for the price point

                          Now some pros and cons:

                          *pros
                          1. Awesome looks
                          2. Good camera
                          3. Fast charging
                          4. Awesome battery backup
                          5. Superb audio quality and sound
                          6. Dual sim with dedicated memory card slot

                          * cons :

                          1. Little slippery
                          2. Overheats while fast charging (thats normal)
                          3. Questionable performance at this price range
                          4. Tempered glass doesn't fit the screen properly
                          5. Only 16gb memory and 2 gb ram (only 500 mb ram available while multi tasking )
                          6. Mediocre Chipset

                          My opinion : if you are moderate user BLINDLY go for it.

                                  Pillow, 11 Jul 2016Was a good phone until now... I am having issues with my A5 2016 (SM-A510FD from UAE) after up... moreProblem solved.
                                  I sent an email to Samsung but their answer didn't help. I investigated by myself and at first I realized that the problem was present only if I had my two SIM cards inserted at the same time. Finally the problem was due to the use of a PIN on one of the two SIM cards. Without any PIN on the SIM cards everything is fine.
                                  I don't understand why it used to worked with 5.1.1 but not anymore with 6.0.1, also I don't understand why there is the option of using a PIN code if it makes the phone bug...
