It's just as well that Samsung has launched the Samsung Galaxy S8, because with the release of the 2017 model of the Samsung Galaxy A4, there was very little reason to buy the Samsung Galaxy S7. The Samsung Galaxy A5 is the smaller of Samsung's two mid-r...

  • Now that the Samsung Galaxy S7 is in the process of being replaced by the S8, those who always wanted an S7 need not worry. The Samsung Galaxy A5 is, I believe, something like ninety per cent of an S7, at much less than ninety per cent of its price.Tags A...

  • With its specifications and features, this is the first Samsung's non-flagship device that we would surely recommend to users without second thought. Priced as a midrange phone, the 2017 revision of the Galaxy A5 offers flagship-like features, with a perf...

If you were told that the new Samsung Galaxy A5 costs $1,000 or more, and you didn't know any better, you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid. The design, look and feel is premium through-and-through and there's very little to tell from the outside that it's...

With phones like the new Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) on the market for less than £400 and handsets like the OnePlus 3T mopping up in the mid-range, it's sometimes hard to see why anyone would cough up the big bucks for an iPhone 7 Plus, Google Pixel XL or Sa...
