Battery drain depends upon the user. As for Samsung, it is the Number 1 Android brand in world and in India (50%) including US. Anyway you can change your brand and go for any other brand. Regards.

          jujud, 19 Feb 2017pls suggest me to buy A5 2016 or J7 2016?I have an A5 (2016) in house and it is very good option. Also it will receive Android 7 update in few weeks. So you can go for A5 (2106) without any worry. As for J7, I have not used it but I use a J7 Primre which is very worthy device. Though it cost little more than J7, it is better deal. Anyway every Samsung device is reliable and worthy; you should visit a nearby store and take a demo. Than buy any device you like.

              I was bought this phone and I started using it,it was really damm good phone.i like it very much.I am very hard mobile user and in my opinion it was kicking all obstacles very easily but the only thing I did not like about it was front camera which was too much poor in video calling.this problem was due to its aperture size which was 1.9 and it should be 2.2.Samsung should manufacture with minimum 2.2 aperture size

                Anonymous, 09 Feb 2017Which one to choose? A5 (2016) or A3 (2017)?It's all about personal preferences. I suggest using the compare option in this website and check the specifications of both phones.

                        Solution is close all app before browsing and try to use mobile version. It will solve your issue.

Sometimes keyboards behaves strange. Also check for the updates on your device and install them all. I also have an A5 (2016) and never felt any touch issue like you mentioned.

                                I bought a5 2016 about a month ago but ever since i bought i have been noticing some minor under responsiveness at the bottom right corner where erase key is placed on the keyboard.This occurrence is rare but it is still bugging me. I also replaced the phone with another one which had the same issue. Tested every screen test possible and it has passed all of them. My question is is it normal or is software or hardware fault/bug? Not a huge deal breaker but still.

                                      I have three A5 2016 at home. Two of them - A510F and one - A510FD. All users despite of their age and experience are happy for a year. The only thing you may go for A5 2017 is IP68. But I won't do so. ;) If it will be upgrade to Nougat, I think we will use them for some 1-2 years at least.
