        I bought one yesterday, and it's a bit disappointing.
        My S4 was working fine until I dropped it, and broke the screen. The phone is still in immaculate condition, and perfect working order, so I think I'll just have the glass replaced and keep this as a spare.

                    I always believed in Samsung product.
                    Related to gorilla glass its published that glass is tough resistance to damage.
                    Bought cell on 28th Oct 2016 and glass broke.
                    It just slipped and got tapped on table.With just slight tap it got cracked.I am surprised.
                    Want the replacement of the cell.

                          Struja, 01 Nov 2016Thanks a lot. I am not a fan of Sony or LG. I had a Sony Z and it was awful experience. A also... moreMost of the Samsung devices are excellent. May be they do not show high on specs on papers. But day to day use, they are really awesome and add to that the S apps like health, Planner, Music, Note, Videos are really cool. Personally my 3 years old S7392 JB is still working and recently I bought a On 7 Pro for myself and a J Max (Tab) and A5 for my father. I am very happy and satisfied with them. Value for money and peace for mind. last year I went for Lumia 535/540 which was the biggest mistake of my life. hardware was very good but the software/ app experience was really nightmare for me.

                          As for Devices, you can try A5/A7 or J7/J7 prime. Even the latest On 8 Pro and On NXT is also better deal.

It so nice that even my bigger On 7 Pro looks little short on features. I like the following features.

                            1. The fingerprint sensor. You can set up 3 fingers to unlock the device.

                            2. The camera is really superb. I mean it can be operated by Voice. just opened it and say "Shoot", "Smile" or "Cheese" to catch a shot and "Record Video" to capture videos. It is very usefull if you are operating the camera on single hand or in a selfie stick.

                            3. The "One hand operation" is another great feature.

                            Also there are some other great features also. Overall A5 is a worthy device.

Its Exynos processor itself is a let down and to make things further worse to worst is the 2gb ram. Its a good phone for normal usage but nothing fancy.

                                        After buying it last week, here is what I've got :

                                        Advantages :
                                        - elegant design, it feels amazing in your hand and the metal on the edges is great
                                        - price is decent
                                        - runs everything smoothly ( very intensive 3D games may stutter a little bit - GTA Vice City)
                                        - great for a mid-ranged price phone
                                        - battery is ok, has fast charging (charges in a about a hour to full from 10% )

                                        Disadvantages :
                                        - no LED for notifications
                                        - screen is curved, if you use screenprotectors such as tempered glass it will look quite ugly because it creates a halo effects on the edges but corning gorilla glass protects quite well against scratches ( watch out for sand or rocks ! )
                                        - camera has some noise in low light
