    AnonD-342429, 31 Mar 2017Sounds like you are quite clumsy. I never dropped it since i bought it. Just once in the wash ... moreI have purchased this on 2017 March 8th.it received with android marshmallow in box . It was overall good for me. Perfect size,good battery. Premium design . Good camera.

    Now I am facing a problem. My camera not clear. It cannot focus. One time I re-setup the phone. No improvement. Then I did factory reset. Still I can't solve it. Any solution my friends.

    The other problem internal memory. In that I am very disappointed.
    We cannot lock huge size data eg.4-5 GB using app lock . We can store data in memory card up to 100-150 gb. But when we lock using applock the locked files automatically will go to system internal memory. That's the problem. After installation the applications it usable only 5 or 6 gb. How can I solve this two problems. Reply fast my friends. I am waiting your valuable advise.

    Thanks.

      As far as memory is concerned, i have installed 16gb class 10 memory card and made it adaptable internal storage rooting my phone. So no worries about shortage of storage.
      When nougut is released i can flash it from Sammobile website using odin. So no worries about update as well.

          Lukas, 30 Mar 2017ok so i have a dilema. in my country a5 2016 and a3 2017 is absolutely for the same price and ... moreA3 (2107) has better camera and dust/water resistant. But it has smaller display (4.7 inch), less battery power but display does not support 1K HD as I have compare it to A5 (2106). My father uses a A5 and it is good reliable device and it will also get Android 7 Update in few weeks. So, unless you do not need dust/water resistant device and can handle a 5.2 inch device; than go for A5 (2016).

                Anonymous, 28 Mar 2017You don't need any protection on the screen. It's protected by gorila glass. I use to put keys... moreIt does take alot to scratch gorilla g4 however the camera lens cover is not protected by g4 so if u have any keys or other objects in your pocket the chances are that you may scratch the lens cover

                                      Pros
                                      S6 design
                                      Fenomenal battery life with fast charging
                                      1080p display which looks awesome
                                      It will get nougat soon
                                      It is fast.
                                      Cons
                                      Poor 3d performance , must turn down settings even on low ( or take down resolution with game tuner)
                                      Display scratches pretty easily
                                      My screen protector is smaller than display surface
