Nickey, 04 Feb 2016Hey guys i need your opininion.. Should i buy this phone or lg g3..g3 is 2 year old flagship w... moreG3 has battery heating and performance issues.
Dunno if this is already been fixed via software updates still Im gonna avoid it if I were you. Lol
If its using the snapdragon 801 chipset then avoid it like plague.
Also the plastic on the g3 also has this self hairline cracking on the charging and headphone ports. You can google all of this, research before planning on getting it.
A56 will look more premium than g3 even its not a flagship device, also a5 fingerprint sensor is just too handy to pass. Lol

In my country (eastern europe) I can buy
Samsung Galaxy A5 Dual LTE A510F-DS (Europe version) at a price of € 425.00 and
Samsung Galaxy A5 A5100 Dual LTE 16GB (Hong Kong Version) at a price of € 349
Does anyone know why there is this difference in price

OMGush, 04 Feb 2016Mine is the exynos chipset as well. The performance is hella impressive for a mid range device... moreIn your opinion, it is slippery than S3 ( Neo ) ? I have that phone and that plastick back is quite slippery....and I was wondering if the glass is even slippier than that plastic... :)

Hey guys i need your opininion.. Should i buy this phone or lg g3..g3 is 2 year old flagship with more RAM and memory 3\32 vs a5 2\16. Has a better 2k display but a i think that a5 superAMOLED is better looking. A5 has a new geration processor better optimized battery,front camera and fingerprint sensor. Rear camera is almost the same (a5 f1.9 better low light pfotos) Both will be upgraded to 6.0 .. I need phone for next 2 or 3 years so old flagship or new mid-range ? Thanks !

Probably gonna be my daily driver now because the battery on my S6 is just horrible.
Also A56 glass back is slippery to hold, a case is definitely recommended to avoid dropping it.

alin, 04 Feb 2016Hey guys again, so some of you say that this phone heats up when charging and also the camera ... moreHad it for a few days. The device is working fine, the heating is due to the adaptive fast charging, if you plug it into your pc or normal/travel charger it doesn't heat up that much.
Camera is not blurry on my device, pretty good snapper for a mid range phone.
I have an S6 as well but A5 2016 just blows it away in terms of design, the phone is just gorgeous to look at because of the curve 2.5D gorilla glass screen which reminds me of Nokia lumia curved glass, all in all It just feels more premium than the S6.
The shape is still your typical samsung device, its nothing revolutionary. Its just the A5 materials are top notch flagship level.
Its 200 bucks cheaper than the S6 in my country. Definitely a good option if you want a premium looking phone.
Performance wise while the S6 is obviously better in terms of specs, they feel roughly the same in real world usage(if you're not looking up in the benchmarks).
A5 2016 is just as fast and smooth, probably its software is just well optimized, good job there samsung! S6 will still leave A5 2016 in the dust in terms of higher end gaming performance.

Hey guys again, so some of you say that this phone heats up when charging and also the camera gets blurry. Maybe it's just an exception, but it would be helpful for us, who didn't decide yet to buy it, to know if this are problems for every device, or just a few out there. Thank you in advance.

nadzlustred, 03 Feb 2016Is it helpful if i do reset because my phone is also heats up when charging.Its obvious that it heats up because of the fast charging. Use a regular charger if you don't want it to heat up.

Bought the Galaxy A5 2016 yesterday and so far was thinking was a great phone, but after had to update it my back camera got blurry. Practically impossible to take pictures now. Front camera is fine, but I want both cameras to work.
Does anyone had the same problem as me? Should I return it to the store or what?
Please, would love some help. Thanks.

Very nice phone, I'm very intrested to buy it but the price is too high. Hope will drop down soon cuz in this price range there are other phones like z3 for example or for a litle bit more even the s6 could be a better option.
