The
Galaxy A5 2016 and Galaxy A7 2016.
Both are almost similar, except for the
screen sizes and a few specs.the Galaxy A5 sports a
smaller 5.2-inch display and 2GB
RAM. We got to spend some time with
both at the Samsung Forum, and here’s
what we think about the bigger Galaxy
A7.
Design and build
The Galaxy A5 borrows the same glass
and metal found in the company’s
premium Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note
- Despite the glass, it didn’t seem
slippery in our limited usage. It feels solid
and sturdy, with refined premium looks. It
is sleek at 7.3mm and very light weighing
169 grams.
It has rounded smooth edges and a good
finish. It’s a dual SIM device with one slot
on the upper edge. The other SIM slot
and a microSD card slots are on the right
edge, just below the power button.
The volume rocker is placed on the right
edge. The lower edge features a
microUSB port, 3.5mm audio jack and mic
grilles.
It is light and portable, and one hand
usage was comfortable as the device
didn’t feel too heavy or difficult to use for
the limited time we got to spend with it.
Display
The Galaxy A5 2016 comes with a large
5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display,
ensuring sharp and bright icons. A pixel
density of 401ppi shouldn’t be
disappointing either. The viewing
angles seemed decent indoors.
