Sometimes i dont really understand why people complaining about price for this phone, isn't it relative for everyone? Why don't you build your own phone company and make a same specs and design like A5 2016 then sell it just for $48? and... for your own brand you can add $2 more..
Looks like the envy beggar for me.. Don't say something bad to things you can't afford..

Mkdc, 03 Feb 2016The new A5, just like previous A5s, is the perfect example ... moreWhy do you care what other people think of your phone? You buy the phone for yourself, because you like the style/features.

i bought this phone 2 days ago, when charging whether the phone is on or turned off, the phone is very hot, maybe because the fast charging feature. The phone is also feel too weight for me.
Beside it the design is nice, no laggy, batery is okay (no gaming) and need some update for some features.
Does anyone know how to disable fast charging? the phone is very hot when chargin.

The new A5, just like previous A5s, is the perfect example why i dont like samsung flagships. They have the same looks so when using a samsung flagship, people dont even know if i really have a premium phone or just a mid range phone. And honestly, anybody buying a premium phone wants other to know they got the top phone.

"...the battery itself is not removable"

AnonD-484893, 02 Feb 2016Apple First Put A Fingerprint Sensor On The Iphone 5s Home ... moreWell, actually, since we're talking facts, Motorola was the first to introduce fingerprint scanners in mobile phones, back in 2011 with the Atrix.

Tommikke, 02 Feb 2016The Exynos-variant is about 33% faster as it gets 40-45 000... moreAre you joking ? :)))) there are hundred and hundred of years between the performance of SD801 with adreno 330 and the exynos variant.Look at the geekbench 3 score which is the best and the more realistic CPU bench.A5 has something like 600 of single core points and 3000 of multi core points over 900 single core and 3000 of multicore and that's a huge boost for S5 because the single core counts much more.Going to the GPU part,adreno 330 is 100 % faster.Mali T720 of A5 has 34 Gflops over 166 gflops of adreno 330,and that's a enormous diference in gaming.You must be to dumb to think that Samsung a5 is better than Samsung S5 only based on a poor maded benchmark
