I purchased new a5 6 on 21st Feb 2016 it works well as user friendly.. But the main problem is it gets very very heat when charging.. I replaced it and got new one on 24 March 2016 problem continues as itsoon getting heat means when charger connects. If anyone touches it at charging time they really threw that because of heavy heat... also I decided to give back... please reply whats the problem.

Hi! I was looking for a durable android phone in the 25k bracket with basic specifications enough to run multiple apps without lag. Confused whether to spend a bit more and go for the A5 (2016) or make do with the 2015 edition A7 which has almost the same features, except the looks and build at a much cheaper price.
Please help out!

Hey you guys, any comment on the flickering issue mentioned in the article for you who have used this for a longer time? I was almost decided to buy this - but I believe flicker can really be harmful for eyes - and I dont wanna get headaches when I watch an occasional movie on this.
Thank you for your comments

Here are my comments on the phone (Galaxy A5 (2016))
Pros;
Perfect screen size
Great screen quality in terms of PPI
Micro SD slot (Up to 128GB.)
Dual SIM usage (single SIM only if using Micro SD slot)
Design is fantastic, mimics the iPhones, however
Materials used for the phone is durable (No scratches, dings, or any visible damage so far for 1 month.
OTG support. (Also only up to 128GB.)
Fast Charging.
Awesome rear cam.
And HOPEFULLY, plans for Android Marshmallow.
Cons;
The software. (IDK why this thing is still on Lollipop.)
Fingerprint scanner (Only three fingerprints? SRLSY? And the 90% accuracy of it.)
It's a little heavy.
Only 10.8GB internal is available to the user.
Weak audio quality.
And crappy front cam. (Only if your hand shakes.)
Here are things I don't know where to put;
The price? (Some people are complaining about the price. But I bought it from a little cheaper price.)
Colors are oversaturated? (Okay, this is maybe because of the SUPER AMOLED thing. This can be adjusted, however.)

I bought this phone 4 days ago and it is really good for the price. This is the best phone you can get at this price point. It is priced same as Sony Xperia M5. Where i live brands like Xiaomi, Motorola, ZTE etc. is not available.

I'm using this device for a week now and I can say that I'm very satisfied of its performance. I'm wondering why do people complain about the price tag? In my country, Indonesia, it is priced at ca. 350 usd and I got even more ca. 50 usd cachback, free front and back screen protection with lifetime guarantee and a bag full of gifts from Eraphone (dealer).
S6 offers more in terms of specs and features I know (quite expected and logical) for ca. 250 usd price difference but I don't need those "advantages" anyway. Just buy things you personally need, mate!
A5-6 is not only premium looking, but also got premium feel when holding it due to its perfect "heavy" weight. I love it!

This hasn't been released in the UK yet, and I've been given a date of May. I'm thinking that by that time ths S6 will be a very similar price. So I am trying to decide between this or the S6. I know spec wise the S6 is the better phone, but I'm always reading about the poor battery life of the S6 which is a concern. So what is everyone's opinion, Galaxy S6 or A5 2016?
