AnonD-614674, 06 Jan 2017What ''plastic'' are you talking about, again??
(not that ... moreI think the editor meant the plastic covering the phone during unboxing.
"Unboxing the device, you feel quite starstruck. Our unit is in black and it certainly looks stylish even if you can see the plastic. "

" A nice surprise is Samsung ditched the TouchWiz user interface for Grace UX, which was introduced by the now obsolete Note7. "
See. I kept telling everyone, there is no more touchwiz. Typical haters still be like, "Samsung lagwiz again. Boringgg".

It has a glass back and metal frame.
taken from from Samsungs Press Release: The Galaxy A features a metal frame and 3D glass back that draws on Samsung’s premium design heritage.

Anonymous, 06 Jan 2017What's the point of buying mid-range or low-range phones? T... moreThat is true. My beaten up S3 (running CM13) has Antutu score on par with J5(2016). Of course J5 is overall a better device, but it clearly shows that flagships (especially if you can get them discounted) are bang-for-buck far better option, as their life span is far longer than those of low end devices.

Save perhaps an updated version of Android. It is much more practical to buy a Galaxy s6 versus an A3 or A5.
