                                  I'm using A5 2016 with Snapdragon since last year, to be honest this is very great phone with some lacks.
                                  First thing first, the design is well build i meant that amoled in 5'2 display it just perfect in one hand used. Pretty slippery, but not so much.
                                  The primary camera doing great in daylight but not really that good in the low light. The front camera? Not good. I mean, it really do nothing good with all that noise in daylight and blur in low light.
                                  If you like gaming, i suggest dont you ever choose this phone. It may doing good for some light game, but if you play something like Shadow Ninja 2, it simply lag and freeze.
                                  The battery, like most of you comment, it drains too fast from 20% to 0/5% i dont know why, it still new when this happen. But, thanks to super fast charging, it helped.. a bit.
                                  And yep, like all of middle class samsung phone, it lacks of many sensor like gyro etc.

                                  In 2017 the A5 2016 price cut like almost half of the price when it first show up in the market. So, i think its pretty good deal for phone like this. Please, dont compare to Xiaomi price or what so ever.

                                  So, if you ask me should i buy this phone? It depends on how you gonna use it.

                                    I think in term of design.. A 2016 series is more elegant than new A 2017.. but of course spec is far better in A 2017 Series although A 2017 series doesn't have OIS thats not really deal breaker i think.. (sorry my bad english)
