I'm still living in my Samsung Galaxy A5 since 2017 and it's still smooth like butter. I think I can use it for another ten years and I just love my phone😎
been using a5 almost 3 week now really loving it i came from a nexus 5x love the battery the display build quality the performance is well optimised camera is great (casual shooting) the only downside for me is the finger print can be alot better other than that is a perfect phone for 2017
Just bought this phone a few weeks ago and your review remarkably reflects my feelings. A really nice phone. Delivery a tadd bit fast but many useful points covered in seconds. Obviously directed to people who want a lot of info for comparative purposes.
Back when samsung produces premium quality phones, the downside only is the camera performance but hardware wise this is way more premium than current a series phones. Love the design and form factor back then, you can easily identify by just looking at the front that it is a samsung phone same as other companies.
I don't understand why this phone is taller than the 2016 version. Specially the upper bezel is bigger than the bottom one, so is not a matter of symmetry. A couple of millimeters shorter would be better for aesthetics and when in a pocket. It may sound superficial but is not.
Hey have you had any updates on the A5 2017 Nougat 7.0 since purchase/doing this video? If Yes have u guys noticed any Improvements especially on the battery life, camera, multitasking (any more app reload?) and general performance?
Hi, how can I drag text from one app to another as I did so many attempts but failed? how the round button to appear placed in the middle of two apps, as seen in your video.
On the top and bottom of the phone there are 2 (what looks like murky/ frosted glass) things. Are they lights for notifications? And if so how so you activate them?
Sadly the CAMERA is very bad to use which is why I am switching. Even though it has the ability to take great pictures in optimal lighting conditions there is no optical image stabilisation and the camera software does not tweak this. This means that while you can take good pictures, 95% of the time you don't. They loose a lot of detail and look very soft and out of focus. My much older Oneplus 2 took better pictures even though the hardware was worse. Check message boards: this is a common issue. To get a good selfie you need to hold it close to your face due to the fixed depth autofocus, have good lighting, use flash anyway and hold your hand absolutely still. Otherwise they will look too blurry even to use on fb or instagram. Terrible call microphone placement that you naturally cover with a finger and mute when you use. Not a bad phone otherwise, love the size, nice crispy screen and once I updated it the battery (which was draining fully in 3 hours) can get a good 8+ hours of heavy use and constant screen on time incl taking photos. So should be enough for the average user to last a day. If you aren't fussed about perfect insta pics and can get this for a bargain second hand like I did (bought it in pristine condition in the box in mid 2019 for £80 - bargain then)
Just got A5, have limited data usage as don’t use it much, however I have a long journey in couple days, my son suggested downloading travel app called “Waze” to show route. Can you tell me once in car and obviously no WiFi will the phone use the data on this or does it work in a different way. Sorry to be long winded you can tell I am a tech dummy, thanks
How do you listen to audio eg, music, apps with music, or audio files when the phone is locked? It's annoying when it self disconnects when listening to anything.
I have a question about the navigation voice on the Samsung A5. The voice that responds when we say OK Google. It's a female voice by default, but I want to change it to a male voice. Is that possible? Thank you!
My phone updated lasy night & I lost my custom text ringtone for specific people. Is there a way to get that back? If not, how do I reprogram it. I customized it when i got my phone & dont remember
How do I get the reference number on photos in running order. To try it out I took 3 photos one after the other. Their Reference numbers were 2019000206-144510, 144515 & 145023. I am going on holidays and want to take lots of photos but am worried they will not be recorded in order.
Hi guys, I want to buy Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) from online website but not sure if the Arabic language is already added to the phone and if I can switch to it?
