I want to buy this phone because of the battery life, but in their tests they used Snapdragon 615. I'm concerned that the Exynos 7580 version will have more mediocre battery life. What do you think?
I believe the european version SM-510F uses Exynos 7580, right?

It has SD 615 and think about it's price. Octa-core doesn't matter always. 615 is way weaker than SD 801,805 and believe me they and Quad core CPU.
Samsung has become #Shamesung.
In this price people should get Moto X Style which will be way better except the fingerprint scanner or even nexus 5x or OP2

It looks more stylish and special now because we are SAMSUNG smartphone users.
Just turn on the Single tap mode in Accessibility there.

There is a mistake in the Basemark X score, in the Tests section. It should say 4947, not 27169.
By the way, this phone looks interesting, but I'm sure that in my country it'll cost about 400.000 CLP (more or less 570 USD).

Some people complaint about being frozen when making a call, and others say that their camera "got blurry" after some kind of update, and I wondered if that's a general problem or they are only exceptions...

But the front and back is just a glory to hold.
The new A 2016 series is the best looking mid range phones available and I looked and tested several brands before purchasing the a5.
The phone has this "wow" factor which is surprising because its not a flagship device.
I always criticize samsung because of the cheap looking plastic materials on their devices but not with the A series, Samsung nailed it here IMO.
The only issue is the price, but for me its worth it. It mostly have all the bells and whistles of a flagship.

Nickey, 04 Feb 2016Hey guys i need your opininion.. Should i buy this phone or... moreG3 has battery heating and performance issues.
Dunno if this is already been fixed via software updates still Im gonna avoid it if I were you. Lol
If its using the snapdragon 801 chipset then avoid it like plague.
Also the plastic on the g3 also has this self hairline cracking on the charging and headphone ports. You can google all of this, research before planning on getting it.
A56 will look more premium than g3 even its not a flagship device, also a5 fingerprint sensor is just too handy to pass. Lol

Hey guys i need your opininion.. Should i buy this phone or lg g3..g3 is 2 year old flagship with more RAM and memory 3\32 vs a5 2\16. Has a better 2k display but a i think that a5 superAMOLED is better looking. A5 has a new geration processor better optimized battery,front camera and fingerprint sensor. Rear camera is almost the same (a5 f1.9 better low light pfotos) Both will be upgraded to 6.0 .. I need phone for next 2 or 3 years so old flagship or new mid-range ? Thanks !

Probably gonna be my daily driver now because the battery on my S6 is just horrible.
Also A56 glass back is slippery to hold, a case is definitely recommended to avoid dropping it.
