If briefly to evaluate the result of the company’s line of Samsung Samsung Galaxy A5, it is safe to say – they did a great job. We can say that the lineup stepped forward. Yes, there was a problem in pricing (the price of these smart phones by about 10 000 more than the cost of its competitors), but if we evaluate only the technical part, the progress is evident. The appearance of the entire line, and specifically Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) became an order of fresh.

It should be noted that nothing new company Samsung is not invented; it just took the basic features of its last year’s flagship Samsung Galaxy S7 and referred them to Samsung Galaxy A3, A5 and A7 (2017). And you know, this decision can not be called a failure – it is excellent. line Phones And began to look really expensive. Basically, this effect is achieved due to the fact that Samsung Galaxy A5, smartphones as well as other lines are all-glass cabinet with rounded edges on both sides. On the one hand, this decision gives the smartphone a cool appearance, on the other hand – the phone loses strength. Both glass panels connects the aluminum frame, which pleasantly cools the hand on the edges. You also need to say that Samsung Galaxy A5 main camera absolutely sticks out, so you can not worry about the fact that it is damaged. Another significant innovation – is the presence of dust and moisture protection of the entire model range. Phones are protected by IP 68. Color technology solutions for the Samsung Galaxy A 2017 full line of the same: black, dark blue, gold and pink gold – a classic set.

Features displays all three smartphones are at a high level: at the Samsung Galaxy A3 – the display has a size of 4.7 “, a matrix of Super Amoled, HD resolution (1280×720), covered with glass 2.5D, while the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 characteristics are almost the same, except for sizes (A5 – 5.2 “, A7 – 5.5”). and resolution (Full HD for both models) it is said that the screens of all three smartphones are stunning All three phones have excellent color rendering, a large reserve of brightness and economically consume battery power.. screens – is what attracts buyers who consider phones in the stores and in the company of Samsung aware of this, because they are very cool to work on them.

Now it’s time to talk about the phone performance. Samsung Galaxy A3 – is the youngest model range, and it is no wonder that it has received the weakest technical basis. These characteristics correspond to the budget class of devices, but Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 – this is not a cheap smartfonchik. During the operation of this phone meets the eight-processor Exynos 7870, the core of which is clocked at 1.6 GHz. The processor is not new, but has shown himself perfectly under load. It was built on the 14 nm – process.

It supports capacity of 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. The phone dials Antutu 45,000 points. If we talk about the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7, the case in these smartphones performance are much better. During the performance of new products meets the new processor Exynos 7880. This chip has eight cores, which accelerated to 1.9 GHz. If we draw an analogy with other popular processors, the closest to it are powered by Snapdragon 625 Kvalkom and Kirin 950 from Huawei. The chip is pretty peppy and synthetic test antutu Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017) step over the mark of 60,000 points. This result is characteristic of champions two years ago. Assist the processors on these two devices 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory.

What phones from Samsung company are strong, so it is in mobile photography opportunities. If the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017), this component is not well developed, the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017) set a new benchmark in this parameter. The fact that the front and rear chambers of the two devices have almost the same features: the main – 16 MP, aperture f / 1.9, front – 16 MP, aperture f / 1.9. The difference is one – is the presence of flash and auto-focus faster software from the main camera. You can be sure that the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017) will be photographed on the mind-blowing levels. If you go back to the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017), the camera features in this model are not phenomenal, but also do not graze the rear: the main – 13 MP, aperture f / 1.9, the front – 8 MP, aperture f / 1.9. We can say that the color rendition quality pictures will not play older brothers, but the detail is a bit of a limp.

But the issue with the battery life of their devices company Samsung does not want to solve it. Yes, they do blow the technologies that intelligently optimizes system performance, but we all know that it works through one place and, if the phone battery is less than 3000 mAh, which means that he will have to live with paverbankom on cords. The model number Samsung Galaxy A (2017) with batteries the situation is as follows:

• Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) – 2350 mAh, has not fast charging
• Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) – 3000 mAh, charging speed is (full charge in 1.5 hours)
• Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) – 3600 mAh, charging speed is (full charge in 1.5 hours)

Too bad that the company Samsung does not think that users spend on their devaysa lot of time and it would be nice to increase the battery capacity of at least up to 4000 mAh, it seems that consumers have appreciated it.

We finish us your review of Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) that we want to criticize the company Samsung for what she put on this phone is the Android 6.0.1 operating system. This is a strange step, as is already full to put the Android 7.0 smartphones. We very much hope that the whole line is updated to android seventh in the coming months.

As we have already mentioned above, for the money that ask for the Samsung Galaxy A5, you can buy the flagship of the popular Chinese brand. However, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) – it’s still not a flagship, so to compare it with the top models from other manufacturers is not correct. It is also wrong to focus only on the cost of smartphones, so a moment to reflect, we have chosen the Samsung Galaxy A5 in two competitors subflagmana – ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S and Huawei Honor 8. Both phones are popular phones that came out in the second half of 2016 and will be relevant for quite for a long time. Let’s see how they get worse or better smartphone under review.

The diagonals between the three competitors’ same – 5.2 “Features displays are at the highest level, but the ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S and Huawei Honor 8 uses a different matrix – IPS LCD-matrix strong difference you’ll notice:.. Fans there like a Super Amoled display .. and at the IPS-matrix But the device design can play an important role in selecting future gadget most austere and unexciting appearance is ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S. this is a typical candy bar with a metallic backdrop and a familiar design Huawei Honor 8 -. it probably the most beautiful smartphone in 2016.

It, like the Samsung Galaxy A5, with both sides clad in glass. Glass has an interesting texture, due to what the gadget looks unusual and bright. About the design of Samsung Galaxy A5, we have expressed in the survey. Performance in all three gadgets is about the same (especially Samsung Galaxy A5 and ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S), but a little forward selected Huawei Honor 8.

It is gaining in synthetic test Antutu a little more than 90 000 points, but the Samsung Galaxy A5 and ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S were able to overcome the barrier of 60,000 points. This parameter is stronger than a gadget from the company Huawei. If we talk about the possibility of mobile photography, but this time the situation is diametrically opposed to performance: prevail Samsung Galaxy A5 and ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S, a rear graze Huawei Honor 8. ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S – this is the best smartphone in the average person the segment in question Mobile Photo.

This result was achieved thanks to the device features the following cameras: the main – 23 MP, aperture f / 2.0, front – 13 MP, aperture f / 2.2. However, the Samsung Galaxy A5, is more likely to shoot better than others: the main – 16 MP, aperture f / 1.9, front – 16 MP, aperture f / 1.9. Thanks must speak excellent color sensitivity and a steeper front camera. At Huawei, things are as follows: primary – 12 MP, aperture f / 2.2, the front – 8 MP, aperture f / 2.4. Autonomy for all devices is poor – 3000 mAh for all three comparisons of participants. But prices have a significant disparity: ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S – $337, Samsung Galaxy A5 – $472, Huawei Honor 8 – $421. So what is the same smartphone to choose?

The most balanced of all phones is the Huawei Honor 8: He has averaged cost, premium appearance, the best speed, but a little lost in mobile photography. If you value your smartphone feature photos and do not want to pay more for brands, then you should pay attention to ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S. Samsung in this confrontation is nowhere clearly did not win, so you should think several times before giving great for mediocre smartphone money. Good luck in choosing a new phone!
