The Samsung Galaxy Alpha was Samsung's attempt go shake off its phablet obsession and create a compact flagship. The Galaxy A series, which it helped spin off, occupied a lower segment than the flagship-grade Galaxy Alpha.With the 2016 edition, the Galaxy...
The Samsung Galaxy A5 is a decent phone for Rs. 25,500*, but it doesn't quite cut it. We like the changes made to the design, but unfortunately in terms of software, things are more or less the same. There are other phones in the market that might offer b...
The Samsung Galaxy A5 Duos was launched early this year, but is still selling for around Rs. 22,000. Frankly, this is a little too steep by any standard. You can get significantly more powerful phones for the same price or less like the OnePlus One (Revie...
Expensive for its specs, SIM and microSD card slots combined

Thin, light and strong metal body, Vibrant AMOLED display, Awesome speakers and bundled earphones, 4G, NFC and 16GB storage, Decent battery backup
Notsoimpressive front camera, Optional Dual SIM/expandable storage capability, Doesn't support OTG
In many years, Samsung has finally taken the sheer usability and resilience of its design to new heights. The Galaxy A5 makes many high-ends look like plastic dummy sets. Its interface is light and fast, which is surely welcoming for a Samsung phone at th...
Brilliant display, Good design and solid build quality, Good camera
Hybrid dual SIM might not be useful for everyone, Metal back is prone to scratches, Slightly on the expensive side,
The Samsung Galaxy A5 is definitely one of the best mid-range smartphones mainly for its solid build quality and the stunning Super AMOLED display. Wonder why Samsung took so long to introduce a smartphone with all metal build. At a price tag of Rs. 25,50...
