      this phone is slow

      for 1080p display should use snapdragon 800 series not 600.

      snapdragon 600 is for 720p display.

      you can see the benchmark on youtube. huge difference

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvU8muCXujk

      video shows 1080p display with different cpu

      there's reason why galaxy s4 used snapdragon 800.

      Galaxy A5 2015 is much faster than this.

Did you really look at On-screen GPU performance A5 (2016) has much more fps and CPU clock speed has nothing to do with 1080p display. It's about GPU. Clearly you don't know much about smartphones.

                    Oh yes last but best..
                    7.Super fast charging (takes 100-110 mins for full charge) * it does heat up for initial 30-40 mins of charging by 15 W charger.

                      Guys I'm using it for last 6 days..
                      It may be a bit overpriced but certainly not disappointing.
                      1. Terrific battery (even better dan Note2) giving me 48-50 hrs with moderate single SIM use (40-50 calls, 3-4 hrs 3G net, 2-3 hrs audio streamingusing Bluetooth per day.
                      2. Nice screen.
                      3. Camera good (not great like S6) but certainly not worse. Better dan A8.
                      4. Lag free experience so far even with 8 -10apps open simultaneously. Yes almost 75% RAM remain occupied all d time.
                      * Im not into much gaming.
                      5. Ringing volume is OK (some reviews say it has below average volume) obviously helped by speaker position at bottom n not on back.
                      6. I've made in India A5 which has exynos chipset bettr dan snapdragon.

                                  Here in Philippines, they have 2 variants. SM-A510Y & SM-A510X. What is difference between the two? When I check in SamMobile, the A510X variants has no available firmware for that, but the A510Y have. My question is, Can I flash A510Y firmware to the X one? I google it but no result found. Thanks!
