We have only a vague idea of how it could be Galaxy S6 which will probably be presented in a month and a half, but this Galaxy A5 might reveal something or otherwise indicate a path taken by Samsung. The design is not in fact a revolution, but this medium range from Samsung is made of metal, very unusual choice for the Korean company.
Package
Package
The package of Galaxy A5 abandons the package with the plot in fake wood for a pack in blue. Inside is some good in-ear headphones with various rubbers, USB-microUSB cable and a power supply wall 1.5A.
Construction and Ergonomics
Frontally this Galaxy A5 is not a revolution, because the square shape reminiscent 'Galaxy S II and the physical key central (which we approve) is still there in its place. Picking up the smartphone we become but account instantly that there ben'altro we talk about. The circular frame is entirely made of painted metal, which gives the smartphone a great solid feel and quality as soon as you pick it up, bringing to mind other smartphones such as Galaxy Note 4 or, even better, Galaxy Alpha.
But even the back cover has something to "tell". Despite being made of polycarbonate, the quality is much higher than seen so far and is similar (and even better) of the backcover of some smartphones Nokia Lumia (such as 830, for those who had got to try it). A nice detail is also the golden effect (for white variant) that the light creates the rounded edge of this cover. We dwell on these details only to try to shine in words a build quality that you can find just trying it first hand. Very low weight: only 123 grams, which helps to make it look like the product particularly "valuable".
For completeness, we note that although the back cover is not removable smartphone is not waterproof and, in our case, the power button did not have adequate feedback.
The processor used for this Galaxy A5 is very flexible Snapdragon 410 quad core 1.2 GHz. This processor is also used on smartphones far cheaper than this, but it is no less "worthy" to be included in this configuration, views performance still very good. We then 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory that can expand tramtie a microSD (the door is on the side). LTE data connectivity is up to 150 Mbps, the Wi-Fi a / b / g / n and bluetooth 4.0. Present the NFC chip.
Audio that is generated by the speaker on the back (but still slightly raised if the phone is on a plane) is quite high as volume and average as quality. Unfortunately, however, this is not the LED notification, choice rather bizarre and Samsung that brings a couple of years back
The main camera of this Galaxy A5 is a 13 megapixel camera and has a LED flash. The images (and videos) that implements are good and above average quality of competition in the midrange. The interface is intuitive, customizable (in the left bar) and feature rich. We report a new and two comebacks. Now you can start the countdown a Selfie simply placing the palm of the hand toward the camera. In addition to this functionality back (view cameras Samsung) to create animated gif and the self-timer with the main camera.
The screen is a 5-inch unit in HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) in SuperAMOLED technology. For this device was chosen a screen-type PenTile and although the differences are almost imperceptible to the naked eye for many, the choice could definitely meet the disappointment of someone. We we are satisfied from the screen of this smartphone, adjustable in the shade, very bright, even though the auto brightness is sometimes a bit 'slow.
Let's clarify one point: this is a screen that will divide the users. At first glance and in everyday use (thanks to a maximum brightness "important") the screen is flashy and very nice to see. At the same time the more "technical" turn up their nose to the resolution and technology PenTile.
The software of this smartphone is very similar (if not almost identical) to that seen on Galaxy Alpha. The system is reactive, although some animations (extremely fluid) may annoy some users more astute. Especially the integration of Flipboard within this interface is still cumbersome, slow and not very functional. Better off. Even the implementation of the themes is almost useless, since the very few themes available are of dubious taste. We hope for new themes in the future and in the arrival of third-party themes.
The rest of the system (based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat), however, is very satisfying and packed with features that can become indispensable for someone like multiwindows, private mode, S Finder or the use of a hand. Overall the TouchWiz interface proves dence of little touches that slowly conquer the end user, but it still needs some finishing.
The browser of Galaxy A5 is quite fluid, although not perfect, especially on sites a bit 'heavier, but nothing that compromising its use in everyday life.
Software: Multimedia: Good music player, with several options including juggling and a decent video player, which supports all formats up to 1080p.
Autonomy: The autonomy of this Galaxy A5 has greatly affected. The battery is 2300 mAh and also without using any type of energy saving, manage to get through the day even with heavy usage. If we consider to occasionally use these options, you can also get a couple of days on a single charge.
Price: Up to this point we told you about (almost) only good of this Galaxy A5. Where's the catch? In the price (you had it figured out from the title, we suppose). € 409 price for the official launch in Italy are too many. Until a few years ago, even considering the build quality would be a price also acceptable, but the market has changed and even Samsung will have to adapt.
Purchase: Galaxy A5 is available at € 369 in black or white on Snapfish.
Judgement: Galaxy A5 is a medium-range almost perfect. Excellent build quality, good screen, good camera and excellent autonomy. Do not skimp on anything (for example, the memory is expandable), but then betrays the price. The midrange is a band very difficult because "crushed" by all the high-end offerings. Buy Galaxy A5 without remorse, but expect some offers.
