Review: Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) – News 24

Another review applies to the model with a mid-range smartphone. The price of 1,5 thousand have a pretty nice looking octa smartphone Galaxy 2016 A5 (SM-A510F).

A Series was launched in 2014. A tool to fight Chinese competition, and the appearance does not differ from the flagship models. A5 2016 looks a bit like flagship – Galaxy S6. Smartphone robust, with both sides covered with glass Golirra Glass and around a special aluminum frame. Unfortunately, the housing has a tendency to rapid fingering and is slippery. The smartphone does not have LED notifications.

The standard for Samsung, the 5.2 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080×1920 px occupying more than 70% of the surface of the front panel, there is a physical button, who is also the fingerprint reader, which can store up to 5 . Unfortunately, it is not active all the time, because in order to unlock the device, you must first press the button to wake it. The reader operates accurately and quickly. Screen responds to the simultaneous touch in 5 points. Above the screen is the Samsung logo, light sensor and proximity sensor and front camera lens. The front camera has a resolution of 5.0 MP (2576×1932 px). This camera records video at a resolution of 2.1 MP (1920×1080 px). Both cameras color reproduction is decent level.

on the back is a webcam Home with a resolution of 12.8 MP (4128×3096 px) captures video at a resolution of video, like the front cam – 2.1 MP (1920×1080 px). This camera has an aperture of f / 1.9 and OIS optical image stabilization. Application of the camera is very functional, because a professional mode; You can set the example. ISO sensitivity and exposure.

The smartphone has a drawer with one hand on a micro SD card and a mini SIM (unfortunately does not work in dual sim, which is a pity). On the other hand there is the power button and volume buttons. At the bottom was located minijack connector, microUSB support fast charging, the average multimedia speaker and microphone calls.

This smartphone is equipped with a chip Exynos 7 Octa with 8 core processor ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1600 MHz. This is one of the first 64-bit processors, exhibiting a high energy efficiency. The priority is not the performance, but this equipment is efficient. Noteworthy is the fact that the handset is on board 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory (user – 11 GB) with the possibility of enlarging it through a micro SD card up to 128 GB.

The whole manages the Android 5.1 .1 Lollipop with TouchWiz overlay. The system works smoothly, quickly launch applications, games run smoothly, but do not know how that was after a longer use (once I had the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE, which after half a year, the jammed). Among preinstalled apps you will not find a lot and well: Schedule S, S Health, S Voice Galaxy Apps, Smart Manager, a tool from Google and Office cloud onedrive and Skype.

In use, once the application is stopped. It was the AnTuTu Benchmark. Speaking talk about Benchmark, it’s time to present the results of the test programs. This smartphone got in AnTuTu test 43,090 points in general, and in the test HTML – 17,286. The second benchmark, in which analyzed the phone, it Vellamo, who pointed out in 1635 in the test multicore, 1124 in the test metal. In the case of browsers – 2574 (Android WebView), 2853 (Chrome Browser), 2895 (Internet Browser)

This smartphone, which through one of the portals is hailed as “almost flagship” has a battery with a fuel cell 2900 mAh which gives an average of two days of intensive work. I jotted down almost 6 hours SoT (on screen time). I think that this price is worth to buy Galaxy A5 2016 predecessor model, the A5, it costs already slightly below a thousand dollars.
