It'll die i... moreAll phones are China phones "Assembled in China" I mean really seriously wtf is wrong with people and China, do u know they are one of the worlds biggest technology firm? Just because Samsung's office is in Korea doesn't make it better than any other company, it's just a brand name which everyone has got addicted to same as apple. Oh and for your info Motorola is an American company. Face facts this phone isn't worth the asking price Especially me paying for a SIM free model at £370. Front & rear camera are hard to focus I have to hold my face right at the front one to stabilise, Also no haptic feedback. It's the fact that u can't understand Moto G5 plus is better for a cheaper asking price, Also are u one of those I choose a phone for looks rather that quality "Seriously nobody gives a sh*t"

Also, the fact that Huawei sells well doesn't mean they are not rubbish... it's like telling McDonalds is better than French restaurant because they have more customers

Which one is better? Buying a brand new A5 (2017) for 300$ or an used S7 Edge, but with no scratches or usage marks, for 400$?

Amoled is personal preference not a extra. I made the silly mistake "Oh it's a Samsung" it must be great. Camera quality is not above average the blur is poor from the slight movement.

And for a non-Android purist user, Samsung Experience UI is great considering how far it is to former TouchWiz UI.

Dude, really, I'd think that you have Moto 5 and not A5 2017. I used A5 2017 before my S8 and it was really good. Camera can be rated as above the average, nice feel, awesome screen, nice interface and everything is fluid, has decent ammount of features and really nice customization...

MrChamp, 12 Dec 2017"Bootloops are more common on Samsung." I used Galaxy Y ... moreJust because you haven't experienced these problems don't claim that others haven't, try typing S5 Bootloop problem, Also try typing other models e.g. s6 s7 s8 s3 a3 j5. These are more common with Samsung mobile's, Also I do own the A5 2017. You couldn't handle my opinion to another user helping them choose the right device. Moto G5 plus is a better phone. A5 has nothing in spec wise to make up for the near flagship price range. eg no ISO which camera quality can be awful/2016 model had one which actually was cheaper to buy and a better design. Samsung themes store is rubbish compared to Huawei Emui themes, majority of them are priced also falsely advertised as Live but don't appear to be. Samsung experience UI yes it's "good" but nothing too major.

a5 2017 after the android nougat 7.0 update from marshmallow 6.0.1. - after the os update it will search and update again 4 times (security related updates). battery life is the same, the phone is more faster in the menu, the display show more vivid colors. google play and samsung store will update a lot of apps. after a few days of usage the new os appears to be stable. will see what the future brings for this phone.
