In the fall of 2014 Samsung stopped producing all-plastic smartphones and, like HTC and Sony, switched to the use of metal.
The road was paved by the Galaxy Alpha which in turn was followed by the Note 4 and soon after, the Galaxy A Series saw the light of day as real successors to the Alpha. From this series we have been able to challenge the Galaxy A5.
This unit has a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, a 5.0 inch HD display, 13 megapixel camera and space for a microSD card. This doesn't make it a real high-end phone, but because of its metal chassis and its price, it is at the top of the mid-range segment. Possible competitors are the Honor 6 and the HTC One E8 although the latter is more difficult to obtain.
What's with the device?
In the bright blue box where the A5 comes in, we found an in-ear headset with rubber sleeves in different sizes and a USB cable with adapter for the socket. We also found some paperwork and a pricker to open the sleeves for the nanoSIM and microSD card. All accessories are in white, look neat and feel good quality.
