Samsung's Galaxy S7 is one of the best phones in the world, but it's expensive and is out of reach for those who don't want to spend a lot on their new smartphone.That's why Samsung has brought in a lot of the Galaxy S7 language and features into its new...
Bottom line Samsung's Galaxy A range has never been this exciting. Samsung has managed to take a lot of the highlights from the Galaxy S7 and applied them to the mid-range device, which is a great step.Whether it will be able to compete with low price alternative pho...

It's a sign of the times when a smartphone at £350 is considered 'mid-range' and ‘affordable'.But the Samsung Galaxy A5 does enough to make us question why we're often persuaded to spend double that on a flagship model. This A5 does everything just fine...

T he Galaxy A5 may sit a tier or two below the Galaxy S7 in Samsung's enormous phone range, but with its clean metal frame and all-glass front, it almost puts its pricier sibling to shame. The tapered back helps it fit snugly in your palm, and it's nice t...

The mid-range smartphone market is red hot right now and the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is right up there among the front-runners. And although it was launched early on in 2017, its design, specifications and all-round performance have been holding up well...
Bottom line The one fly in the ointment is that the phone doesn't come with Android 7 Nougat out of the box, which is mildly disappointing, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the Samsung Galaxy A5 is a great mid-range smartphone. The current price of around...

Editor's Note: We're expecting to see the new Samsung Galaxy A5 (2018) launched in the near future, so while last year's A5 remains a great value phone, you might want to wait and see what Samsung has up its sleeve at MWC 2018 before making a final purcha...

A 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display, 14nm Exynos chipset, a body made out of a glass/metal combo, IP68 certification, 16MP f/1.9 cameras front and back - it sure sounds like Samsung's next flagship. Only it's not the flagship we're talking about, but the Gala...
Bottom line One thing is clear from this review - Samsung has got the alphabet wrong. A has never been as close to S as it is with the A series. The Galaxy A5 carries more than a passing resemblance to the reigning Galaxy S7 flagship - let's just say that if the S7...

Bottom line I'm in two minds about the Samsung Galaxy A5. On the one hand, Samsung Pay and IP68 certification are really nice. On the other hand, the OnePlus 3T offers dramatically more performance for the same price.Even when it comes to cameras, the Vivo V5 Plu...

Bottom line Priced at Rs 28,990 and Rs 33,490, the Galaxy A5 (2017) and A7 (2017) seems to be a tad bit expensive but you get Samsung's goodwill along with it. While we surely have a stiff competition in this price bracket, both the Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017) look promi...
