Ines, 12 Jan 2017I'm thinking about buying this phone but im scared about camera quality (im into photography) ... moreIf your photography is for social media like Instagram :) , then A5 (2016) cam is more than good. But if you´re more profesionaly into photography, then there is no smartphone that is good inough for that. Maybe LG G4, it has great camera with pro mode, but...maybe the best thing woud be to buy the Pro-cam.

For now you should immediately visit the nearest Service center to check the battery. My father also has this model and he also charges it everytime the battery is below 90% which is not good. I am telling him to charge it once the battery reaches below 40% at least. I hope he take my advice.

                    Basically i love this phone very much. The design is elegant and the feature was awesome. But i have a problem here. I bought it about 6 months ago and I really take care of it, most of the time i always charging the battery with the phone turned off. But I just found that the back cover of my phone isn't flat, Seems like the battery inside started to puff. Has anyone experienced the same problem with me ?

                        Ive been using this phone for a while now , and its great i tested it on many levels , works best if your using it for multimedia and texting and small games , camera is great , front camera could be better though , the phone honestly looks awsome , the only downside i found is that heavy gaming isnt that great , apps like gta and asphalt would lag a bit but when lowering the resolution works kinda better , and the battery life is freaking awsome ...in my opinion for the price paid ur getting a great deal !

                          I have the Samsung A5 2015 (A5100) model, Snapdragon 615, Lollipop (5.1.1). I tried playing GTA San Andreas in medium settings but it is so laggy. Is this normal? Some say it is fast smooth in GTA San Andreas, for example the video of (adrianisen) in YouTube.

My A5 is also better than any of the other similar Chinese brands. As for complaining many user either compares it with higher priced device like One+Two or cheaper Chinese devices which have higher specs in papers but real issues in hand use.

                                My friend bought it 2 months ago and now I will buy it too. Phone is realy fast and the camera is the best you can get in the range of this prize and a little bit more expensive.
                                The pictures are realy realy bright and theres no any pixels
