I bought this phone to change my iPhone which I had used for 2years, but this only lasted for 25days. Screen got cracked for a little fall, compare to the iPhone that fell loads of times and nothing happened.Thank God I took insurance on it and it was classified as beyond economic repair because the...

Good features and good cameras

Not durable; Lasted only 25 days

Does not have led light to show missed calls Does not log sent texts Does not immediately show favourite contacts Very inferior to my Galaxy note To sensitive to touch

Samsung's newly found love for "premium build" is spilling down the ranks and if the new A-series get half the love and attention the S-line has been getting, it will be a job well done. The South Koreans are right to try and stir things up in the midrange to turn declining profits around.

Both Single SIM and Dual SIM models come LTE-equipped on many markets (Cat; 4 LTE 150/50Mbps, 5" Super AMOLED of 1280 x 720px resolution, ~294ppi, All-metal body with premium matte finish and low 123g weight, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64-bit chipset, quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 processor, 2GB of RAM,...

Snapdragon 410 is more befitting cheaper; lower midrange devices; It's comparatively pricey for the hardware features offered; On the Dual-SIM version you can't have both a secondary SIM and microSD card inside; Battery is non-removable

You've seen my exclusive hands-on first look of the Samsung GALAXY A5 (well, at least I hope you did) so here's a more in depth look at Samsung's new metal-clad premium midrange smartphone. The 5-inch Android-powered number is certainly a good looker and feels the part too. Read on.

Beautiful design; Ultrathin; Good material build quality; Good camera; MicroSD expansion

Mid-range specs; Battery could be bigger; Slightly pricey for its specs

The Galaxy A5 is a new smartphone from Samsung. It has a five-inch, 1280 x 720 HD screen, a quad-core CPU, 13 Mpixel main camera, a 5 MP frontal camera, and runs Android 4.4. Let's take a good look at it!

Big screen (but not too big); with crisp and vivid images; Great design; Slim; compact; and light; Excellent performance; Good main camera; Great frontal camera for "selfies; Memory card slot; Supports two Nano-SIM cards (in the model we analyzed; Supports 4G LTE networks

Could cost less; You can not use a second SIM card and a memory card at the same time

Samsung's full metal unibody smartphone – the Galaxy A5, is finally coming to Malaysia. The Galaxy A5 packs mid-range specs under a 5" HD Super AMOLED display, encased in a sleek and slim metal body.

Samsung's a good brand for trying things out. After the mixed reviews to the Galaxy S5 it needed something big, as the Galaxy Alpha and Note 4 both accelerated the design story while keeping up with the high-power internals.

There's no denying that Samsung's new Galaxy A series are a gorgeous set of metal smartphones. Ranging from the 4.5in Galaxy A3 to the giant 5.5in Galaxy A7 , their all-metal unibodies set a new standard for mid-range smartphones, showing that you don't need to splash out on expensive flagship...

It's not unfair to say that Samsung's phones have looked a bit uninspiring of late. Whilst the phones always performed well you wouldn't look at a Samsung phone and think "Wow, I really like the look of that!" They'd settled into the role of the dull, safe option – a bit like Volvo.

Samsung started changing its track from polycarbonate build, changed its usual design language and finally launched the Galaxy Alpha smartphone with metal chassis, but it still had a plastic back panel.

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
