3gb ram doesnt alway mean better than 2gb, there is other factor like clock speed and optimization. look at iphone that they still can survive with lees ram than android. or compare old 2gb ram with new phone with the same 2gb ram. the new one like on s6 that use ddr5 are faster than older phone even though they have same memory size. but by having more ram mean your phone can hold more apps running but not that much with s6 too many bloat i have it. and on s7 they improve it. so not only capacity but also optimization,clockspeed,and type of ram
Yep , as long as it's running Android software , the battery will drain faster . because it's not optimised and it won't auto close background apps like IOS , That why IOS devices doesn't need that much battery mAh and Samsung do need . BTW I changed to s7 edge from s6 edge and battery is so much better
A5 2016: The one and only time an A series mid-ranger was the better S series phone. A5 2016 may had the worse processor, camera and Display.. BUT, the differences were really, really small. A5 2016 blazed trough daily apps. S6 was just better on games. The display of the S6 (2400×1200 QHD+) was sharper, but you could only spot the difference in VR. The display of the A5 2016 ( 1920x1080 FHD+ ) destroyed anything in 2016 as it was breaking records with its deep blacks and bright colours. Yet, the A5 2016 had waaay better battery life, expandable storage and it had a better premium build. Many people prefered its more "corner" build compared to the S6's rounded build This phone was on Place 1 on nearly any smartphone site for an half year! The A5 2016 was my first A phone. Now I have an A9 2018 wich is superb. I still use my A5 2016 as my second phone. Its still really good, and that after nearly 4 years!!!!
Wait, isn't your S6 old install??? meaning you've been using it. And the A5 is the fresh review unit. If that's the case then this comparison is completely off.
bobby4500 already have, you sound like one of those people that claim iPhone 5 doesn't ever lag or stutter either. Ios lags it usually just hides it with slowed animations it's more obvious on older iphones, and when apps crash there's no error messages so it doesn't seem noticeable. The fastest android currently the note 5, no lag and I don't restart it for days sometimes no negative effects.
i like the looks of the a5 and it has an sd card slot which is one of the major cons of the s6. Performance wise especially in gaming S6 is obviously better of because of better soc and gpu. A5 2016 build quality is just topnotch for a middle range phone, great job there samsung and thats a good sign that the flagships this year will just be even better like the s7 and note6.
Yeah, my mom has the s6 too and my dad has the a5 2016 and I actually wanted the s6 for a while but I'm getting the a5 instead for Christmas, it's just better.
We do not know how much RAM is allocated to search for files in the phone, or to browse the internet, or to open a game, an application or when using photo / video. The manufacturer does not say how much RAM is used for an application. The manufacturer may allocate more or less memory RAM for each application. Therefore we see that S5 open an application faster and faster A5 opens another. RAM is divided (distributed) by the manufacturer.
being user of a5 2016 I can. clearly say that : First the finger print scanner is much worst than s6 while s6 rocks.Second a5 2016 cause some lags after a while when s6 still going smoothy. Thirdly s6 camera is better than a5 2016..the only advantage that a5 2016 is that it has very strong battery I can admit that
+Dan so sad you care about design, trust me the back buttons are so confortable, and the battery is not bad but not the best but it is swappable keep in mind that
hmmm looks this s6 already been rooted. Whatever, yes, he may be better than A5 in some stuff, but this doesnt mean that A5 is a bad phone. Its a good one even with 2 GB RAM. Im very happy with mine and now in 2017 he is more cheap. I recommend
***** It's the truth, I'm not a mindless fuck like you. Who is on their phone for 24 Hours, I need to fight Evil villains while you sit on the couch looking at their phone.
Some pics looks better with A5, some with S6 and I think I know why, it's because of the Auto Settings. When the ISO goes high the pic looses his quality. In Auto Settings ISO can be different in the same lightning condition. Overexposure is another one on this list beside the size of the senzsor.
I'm in a dilemma... I can get S6 with 500MB mobile data which is £10-12 ($12-14) more expensive than the A5 2016. Or, I can get the A5 2016 with 4GB mobile data and is a little bit cheaper than the S6... Which one!?
are you taking into consideration that your opening apps then minimizing them not closing them? your testing speed of opening an app when several apps are already open in the back ground.
Je veux pas faire le relou mais ta comparaison ne prouve rien et ne tient pas vraiment la route : - d'un côté tu as un octo-core à 2.1ghz(s6)à 3go (4go pour le edge plus) de ram et de l'autre un simple octo-core à 1.6ghz (a5) à 2go de ram... - de plus les 2 modèles ne jouent pas dans la même cour, le s6 est plus accès luxe/haute-gamme avec un écran de ouf en 1440p et un appareil photo de 16M pixels comparé au a5 qui est plus un milieu de gamme avec un écran en 1080p (bannal chez samsung) et un appareil à 13M pixels (loin d'ête dégueu tout de même) - du plus on retrouve des trucs style : chargement par induction, voyant pour selfie... sur le s6 qu'on trouve pas sur le a5 (même si il a la sd) Pour finir ton test du début ne rime à rien car la vitesse dépend de la saturation de la RAM ou de la mémoire interne, voir carrément du wifi... Le A5 2016 étant plus récent que le s6, ces résultats prouvent clairement la supériorité du s6 (et la différence est selon moi justifiée)
+Mctiger99 Après je trouve que le A5 a un gros + sur le design... Et tu as déjà tester d'observer les deux écrans? Voir si on sens vraiment la difference à l'oeil?? Tu as un s6 toi? (je dis ça parce que j'hésite entre les deux ^^ d'un cote le A5 est plus beau de l'autre le s6 plus performant)
It seems tha mil/sec diference between flags and mids do not realy matter for everyday use but couple of hundred bucks diference it does.. Besides samys mid range is also good looking phone..
Muhammad Hawler yes I wasnt happy before but now its perfect I was at the amusement park all day taking selfies and listening to music and im replying rn at 51% super good compared to before
FAST REBOOT shows that on my Samsung Galaxy s6, there are very many background processes, programs running. Repeated again, shows that it is near impossible to stop some of these background rubbish. Can you test this too, please.
i need that oragange and blue wallpaper for my s7 when it comes please could you provide me with a download link or tell me where you downloaded it from @XEETECHCARE
and tehnicaly the A5 beet S6 because the A5 has only 2gb ram and S6 has 3, soo the S6 can support more apps open ath the same time (you did't close the apps after opaning them, and that was not fair)
when recording video, can galaxy A5 autofocus? if we move from one object to the other objects, it will autofocus (without touching the screen) or not?? answer please, thankyou
dude.... when you have equal apps open on both devices, the A5 with 2gb ram and the s6 with 3gb ram then itd no surprise that the s6 is faster by opening antoher app
Hi I'm between a brand new Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) or mint condition Samsung Galaxy s6 for the same price which one I should buy? I'm confused help please
+Tarik Silva A Samsung Galaxy S6 has better specs, but I guess it's really your decision whether you want a new A5 or a used S6. Do you want expandable storage(a5)? Do you want a more powerful phone(s6)?
It all depends on how you treat your phone. If you have it loaded full of sh!t and photos and stuff it WILL become slower. That's a bitter truth guys. My A5 (2016) is faster than that on the video.
Who's using Samsung Galaxy A56 right now?

It's my second phone. My main is A9 2018
A5 looks like better than S6
From the front.
less rounded corners looks more elegant on the a5.
I dissagree. Strongly.
But the A5 i a really shit phone tho, the S6 fucking destroys it
+Adam Mitchell A5 2016 is quite good actually.. But its not even close to S6 lol.. S6 is very very close to S7..
9:09 The way you said "thirteen" it sounded 100% Indian..

3GB RAM versus 2GB RAM device? You already knew who wins
yea sure if i take a duo core phone with 3gb ram vs an octa core with 2 gb ram yes sure the 3gb ram will win smartguy
who cares about ram?
The iPhone 6 only had 1gb of ram an was still faster than the galaxy s5 with 3 gigs
The ram is how much a game will take up, asphalt 8 uses 2GB so the a5 will still be good
+Randomicle Blogs if i want to play games i would turn on my ps3 haha, i just don't like heavy games on my phone
3gb ram doesnt alway mean better than 2gb, there is other factor like clock speed and optimization. look at iphone that they still can survive with lees ram than android. or compare old 2gb ram with new phone with the same 2gb ram. the new one like on s6 that use ddr5 are faster than older phone even though they have same memory size. but by having more ram mean your phone can hold more apps running but not that much with s6 too many bloat i have it. and on s7 they improve it. so not only capacity but also optimization,clockspeed,and type of ram
Wow the s6 battery went from 86% to 72% just from this test.
shit battery but great phone
Yep , as long as it's running Android software , the battery will drain faster . because it's not optimised and it won't auto close background apps like IOS , That why IOS devices doesn't need that much battery mAh and Samsung do need . BTW I changed to s7 edge from s6 edge and battery is so much better
The S6 went from 82% to 77% but I agree with you. I have the S6 edge and its battery life is rubbish.
Owen Tan
Fun fact. iPhones are the worst in battery performance. not even close to Samsung's A Series.
S6 is the only phone with rubbish battery life.
A5 2016: The one and only time an A series mid-ranger was the better S series phone.
A5 2016 may had the worse processor, camera and Display..
BUT, the differences were really, really small. A5 2016 blazed trough daily apps. S6 was just better on games.

+avcomth Which makes the newer one at a disadvantage or vice-versa?
+avcomth
lol android sucks imho, an iphone runs perfectly fine no matter how many months i havent restarted it
+bobby4500 that is pure 100% bullshit it depends what you install on to your phone and how much space you use up.
*****
just use an iphone and youll see, android devices even the 6p get slow with time and need a reboot from time to time
bobby4500 already have, you sound like one of those people that claim iPhone 5 doesn't ever lag or stutter either. Ios lags it usually just hides it with slowed animations it's more obvious on older iphones, and when apps crash there's no error messages so it doesn't seem noticeable. The fastest android currently the note 5, no lag and I don't restart it for days sometimes no negative effects.
So basically s6 is fast with games, which I don't need and A5 is faster with things I use on a daily basis, so I have a winner
i like the looks of the a5 and it has an sd card slot which is one of the major cons of the s6.
Performance wise especially in gaming S6 is obviously better of because of better soc and gpu.
A5 2016 build quality is just topnotch for a middle range phone, great job there samsung and thats a good sign that the flagships this year will just be even better like the s7 and note6.
s6 is on different level thanks for the comparison though , i still like my A5
Does the A5 have image stabilisation? I have an S5 Neo which is great apart from the lack of image stabilisation
Jack Phillips it does have OIS 👍
Dorian Richardson thanks, I might look at changing mine
he rooted his s6 so it is not fair
+adsf but nothing changed
Yunus İşleyen whut my s6 takes 20secs or lesser to boot up you know.
adsf no
adsf Nope
it seems like a52016 is really good on terms of everyday tasks on lower price,and I think it is a great all around phone with great battery life
Is the battery life on S6 good? Has it improved with Marshmallow update?
cual antivirus es recomendable para un gakaxy a5
My mom has an s6 and my dad has an a5 2016 version and I have to say a5 is better
Yeah, my mom has the s6 too and my dad has the a5 2016 and I actually wanted the s6 for a while but I'm getting the a5 instead for Christmas, it's just better.

please battery test galaxy a5 vs s6 😆
Frank Underwood Samsung S6 will lose HAHA but in specs and camera S6 wins lols
s6
Thanks for the review! I almost ordered the S6... but I think I'm going to buy the A5 2016, cause it's cheaper and I think prettier.
well when it comes to multiple applications running in the same time, the ram makes the difference
You are number one in smart phones review 👏👏👌
A thing that you guys haven't noticed is that S6 got 3% discharged, while the A5 got only 1% lower, in the same 3 mins of use.
We do not know how much RAM is allocated to search for files in the phone, or to browse the internet, or to open a game, an application or when using photo / video.
The manufacturer does not say how much RAM is used for an application.

Thirdly s6 camera is better than a5 2016..the only advantage that a5 2016 is that it has very strong battery I can admit that
s6 went the 2015 mvp of phones still a very good phone
Is it good???(A5 2016)???
yes
You can get the lg g4 cheaper and a lot better even better than the s6
+Dan so sad you care about design, trust me the back buttons are so confortable, and the battery is not bad but not the best but it is swappable keep in mind that
+Dan save that money and buy the note 5 instead, the a5 is so expensive for the specs it has
No just no, you really can't compare a shitty LG to a Samsung
hmmm looks this s6 already been rooted. Whatever, yes, he may be better than A5 in some stuff, but this doesnt mean that A5 is a bad phone. Its a good one even with 2 GB RAM. Im very happy with mine and now in 2017 he is more cheap. I recommend
Hi I'm between Samsung Galaxy S6 or Ipone SE for the same price which one I should buy? I'm confused help please
I have my s6 rooted and pimped out! Beats benchmarks compared to stock s6 by 15 percent faster.
The A5 2016 has a better design than the S6 but not at the back :) (*own opinion*)
Samsung Galaxy S6 designer was better. I have this phone and I very happy:)
Camera was better .
+Harman Singh A5 2016 got 5 to 6 or even 8 OST man.....
+SnazTastic Kobe I get 8 Hours of the battery life on the S6

*note: wifi is slower on S6 with one line
I got s6 and the WiFi is super speed
+Bahaà King well that depends alot on your WiFi speed too.
damn, just a slight difference in curved and look how much better the S6 looks.
What should i buy A5 2016 or S6? Or any phone which is around this price.
Very nice wallpaper on the Galaxy A5 (2016)! Can I download it somewhere?
on Zedge Android App, maybe IOS too
What app did you get your wallpaper from? Or where did you download? Thanks :)
I'm in a dilemma...
I can get S6 with 500MB mobile data which is £10-12 ($12-14) more expensive than the A5 2016.
Or, I can get the A5 2016 with 4GB mobile data and is a little bit cheaper than the S6...
Which one!?
NeoSlayer Depends on your mobile data usage... id prob go for s6
Vojin Petrovic - Maybe.. This phone is a secondary phone as my S7 is too risky to use in some places.
should I buy which?iphone 5s and galaxy a5 2016??
I think the reason for the faster opening of some apps was the bigger ram because you have opened many Apps before
are the specs equal for both phones? ROM + RAM + PRICE?
are you taking into consideration that your opening apps then minimizing them not closing them? your testing speed of opening an app when several apps are already open in the back ground.
Hy.
Add the speed test and camera comparison of galaxy A5 2016 VS A5 2017
A5 looks more beautiful in front, S6 looks better in back
damn i think it too
maldito kkkkk até em vídeo gringo vc ta kkkkkkk
Je veux pas faire le relou mais ta comparaison ne prouve rien et ne tient pas vraiment la route :
- d'un côté tu as un octo-core à 2.1ghz(s6)à 3go (4go pour le edge plus) de ram et de l'autre un simple octo-core à 1.6ghz (a5) à 2go de ram...
- de plus les 2 modèles ne jouent pas dans la même cour, le s6 est plus accès luxe/haute-gamme avec un écran de ouf en 1440p et un appareil photo de 16M pixels comparé au a5 qui est plus un milieu de gamme avec un écran en 1080p (bannal chez samsung) et un appareil à 13M pixels (loin d'ête dégueu tout de même)
- du plus on retrouve des trucs style : chargement par induction, voyant pour selfie... sur le s6 qu'on trouve pas sur le a5 (même si il a la sd)
Pour finir ton test du début ne rime à rien car la vitesse dépend de la saturation de la RAM ou de la mémoire interne, voir carrément du wifi...
Le A5 2016 étant plus récent que le s6, ces résultats prouvent clairement la supériorité du s6 (et la différence est selon moi justifiée)
Donc le s6 est tout de même mieux?
+°Cassandre° en résumé : oui car c'est vraiment une gamme au dessus

what were those red letters on the s6 when you booted in up in the top left corner

what screen protector do you have on the S6? thx
I prefer the design of the A5 to the Galaxy S6 just to bad it is not as good.
My S6 is so god damn awsome after marshmallow

FAST REBOOT shows that on my Samsung Galaxy s6, there are very many background processes, programs running. Repeated again, shows that it is near impossible to stop some of these background rubbish. Can you test this too, please.
please tell me , Iphone 6 or galaxy A5?
guys there is a channel that copies these videos it's called tech trinkets

It's very nice vidO which shows their feature
i need that oragange and blue wallpaper for my s7 when it comes please could you provide me with a download link or tell me where you downloaded it from @XEETECHCARE
the new a5 is between galaxy s5 and galaxy s6 in overall performance and camera quality imo.
Dude u left the app processes open, and samsung s6 has more ram, so that was the reason why a5 started opening programs slow
How do you think who Got better camera?
Cool wallpapers..where can I get it?
rebooted the s6 did you see the top red line while booting up?????
I like the design of A56 more than the s6.
I have the A5 and its pretty good
In terms in screen size..i never downgrade to S6.. i more likely use the A5 16...
what should i buy a5 2016 or s5 ?
Who is best in Battery Timing ???
plz tell me should i buy a5 or s6
tell fast
S6 is way better! Speed, performance, cameras, etc.
yeah your right
Josue Clarost cuz its WAY expensive
But the battery sucks !!!
and tehnicaly the A5 beet S6 because the A5 has only 2gb ram and S6 has 3, soo the S6 can support more apps open ath the same time (you did't close the apps after opaning them, and that was not fair)
Does a A5 2016 worth the money???
when recording video, can galaxy A5 autofocus? if we move from one object to the other objects, it will autofocus (without touching the screen) or not?? answer please, thankyou
It doesn't focus on the object automatically so you have to do it yourself.
Auto.Not manual.
I am in a dilemma and need help. Should I get the Galaxy J7, or should I get the A5?
Richard Griffith the a5 is better :) I have tested twice and I'm writing with the a5

samsung a5 2016 or c5? which one? please help
2k and qhd are the same?
Well, thanks for the review. It doesn't seem to me that the S6's camera's better.
it has 16 mp which is best
+FRG Gaming but s7 camera is better tho
its clearly better.. turn the video to atleast full hd to notice it
+Bella Tamara I think its the same with the s6 just faster auto focus
The camera of the S6 is definitely better, and I have the A5 2016
realize when there is more apps running in background s6 is way faster but trust if he swip off every app he tried A5 would of be a bit faster...
probably your galaxy s6 was rooted.... the red txt message shown while bootup slowed down your s6 startup
yeah but you didn't tell us that the a5 2016 is 150$ cheaper than the s6
i was waiting for this ...
The A5 2016 is the cheaper S6, but still very good.
The galaxy A5 is snapdragon version or Exynos version?
Which one has better screen?
I got a a5 2016 and I think there a very good phone
Do you know if there is single sim version of A5 2016?
There is a Single-Sim variant of the A5 2016. Why does it matter, though? Wouldn't Dual-Sim be better?
dude.... when you have equal apps open on both devices, the A5 with 2gb ram and the s6 with 3gb ram then itd no surprise that the s6 is faster by opening antoher app
there is no video. about honor8 vs a5 2016

I had to choose between them as well. I chose the S6
a5 2016 they just gave him marshmallow
S6 its better in all
Now let's run some third part app that's Subway surfer
I have a choice between Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Samsung Galaxy S5
IPhone se
all are free so which one should I get?

how they are free?????
iphone SE is the better choice
a5 2016 or iPhone se

finde das S6 öfters mal schneller ist, muss es nicht sein, dass ist generell schneller ist. Es könnte auch am WLAN liegen.
Whence is wallpaper on a5 2016 ?
It all depends on how you treat your phone. If you have it loaded full of sh!t and photos and stuff it WILL become slower. That's a bitter truth guys. My A5 (2016) is faster than that on the video.
Is it possible to remove/replace the battery on my own in A5/S6 ? :)
And what if telephone will freeze up ?
thnx :)
I think you can't replace battery on your own. If your telephone freeze up, you can find on you laptop how to fix it. It's easy. ☺
What are they running
S6 OR A5 2016 which one to buy please help!!
Depends om what is important to you. The S6 is better ofcourse, but there is a slot for an Micro SD card in the A5 2016.
so i must buy A5 or S6 ?
