Good day everyone

If I would like a phone that frozes, I would buy a fake chinese phone, not a 500 dollars Samsung. It's too much to want a good functioning phone, at this price ? At what price would be the quality, then ? At 10.000 dollars ?! :))

Would you buy a phone that has problems, when you have one who is 3 times cheaper but doesn't have any problem at all, problems that SHOULDN'T EXIST at this price range and this brand ?! It's too much to ask if you want a phone that works, and not freezes ? It's too much to ask for 2016 ?!

Robert, 05 Feb 2016I want to buy this phone because of the battery life, but in their tests they used Snapdragon ... moreMy exynos A52016 Screen of time lasted for 7 hrs and still has 20% left before I charged it.
A total of a day and a half of hard usage. Pretty impressive nonetheless.

I want to buy this phone because of the battery life, but in their tests they used Snapdragon 615. I'm concerned that the Exynos 7580 version will have more mediocre battery life. What do you think?
I believe the european version SM-510F uses Exynos 7580, right?

It has SD 615 and think about it's price. Octa-core doesn't matter always. 615 is way weaker than SD 801,805 and believe me they and Quad core CPU.
Samsung has become #Shamesung.
In this price people should get Moto X Style which will be way better except the fingerprint scanner or even nexus 5x or OP2

It looks more stylish and special now because we are SAMSUNG smartphone users.
Just turn on the Single tap mode in Accessibility there.

There is a mistake in the Basemark X score, in the Tests section. It should say 4947, not 27169.
By the way, this phone looks interesting, but I'm sure that in my country it'll cost about 400.000 CLP (more or less 570 USD).

Some people complaint about being frozen when making a call, and others say that their camera "got blurry" after some kind of update, and I wondered if that's a general problem or they are only exceptions...

But the front and back is just a glory to hold.
The new A 2016 series is the best looking mid range phones available and I looked and tested several brands before purchasing the a5.
The phone has this "wow" factor which is surprising because its not a flagship device.
I always criticize samsung because of the cheap looking plastic materials on their devices but not with the A series, Samsung nailed it here IMO.
The only issue is the price, but for me its worth it. It mostly have all the bells and whistles of a flagship.
