As for A5, as I have said it is also a better reliable device than similar products. My father is using it for last few months and he is very happy with it. I also like it very much. But i choose J7 because of the 5.5 inch screen, 3 GB RAM, bigger battery and black colour variant. Anyway I believe every Samsung galaxy device is a good choice depending upon your budget. Read that in US 76000 people did not return their Galaxy S7 Note as they consider it more than a device. You will not believe it that currently I use another Galaxy On7 pro also with the J7 Prime. And my father is enjoying his retirement days with the A5 and a J Max. Overall I was a desktop guy untill I bought a S7392 a few years back and since I am a heavy user of Galaxy devices. My ultimate goal is to own a Note and Edge device in near future. regards and respect.

          Diamond, 27 Jan 2017Hi Guys please tell me which smartphone is better samsung Galaxy A5 2016 or J7prime. Personally I would go with a5 2016 regarding the performance j7 prime is slightly faster, but after all the difference isnt notable regarding speed. Super amoled screen makes all the difference along with the stylish design.

I know A5 2016 comes in two different variants, one with snapdragon chipset and other one on exynos chipset. On software, there shouldn't be any diference between the two.
            For me, two key points that are on the A5 2016 side are super Amoled display and fast charging. But J7 Prime has its own advantages, it is matter of choice.

Unless you are a previous iPhone user than you should go for a Android device. But if you have Apple ecosystem to support like an iPad, Mac etc than choose iPhone.

Whereas A5 comes with different processor and even OS. Mine has Marshmallow; but some says they got Lollipop. Anyway I still prefer J7 prime over A5. Unless you need a "Super Amoled" display, than J7 Prime is always a better deal in less price tag. Regards.

                        Boula, 28 Jan 2017A5 16 is better good phoneI got both of them. Both are good. But I prefer J7 Prime with better design, more RAM, bigger screen, LED indicator and KNOX security feature. Also J7 Prime comes in black colour, where A5 is only gold. Last but not least, J7 has 3300 MaH battery and A5 has 3000 MaH battery. J7 cost 5000/- Indian Rupees than A5 and you can invest those money in better headphone, memory card and a flip cover.

But ... moreYes, I have noticed the same and I really take care to always charge it only when it says connect charger and with its original charger (fast charging), never leave it on charger for longer period than needed - disconnect it on 100% - but still it looks like you described. It can be even noticed that back panel has separated just a little bit around volume up/down buttons. However battery is actually very good and lasts 2 days and more, since I am not a heavy user.
