We love everything about the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. The only thing we hate is its still in Android 6.0 Marshmallow and we are not sure if this device will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat.

Most of the bits you love from Samsung’s Galaxy range, but for half the price. What’s not to like?
Flagship features like water resistance, AMOLED screen, Decent performance and battery life, Killer design
Outdated Android, Beaten on specs by cheaper rivals, Camera only works well in good light
While we're all waiting for the next iteration Samsung's flagship device, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus, the Korean brand has already released its first batch of smartphone for the year in its A series.
These days, when you think of buying a budget smartphone, Samsung doesn’t really come to mind. For the most part, their more affordable handsets usually seem to provide far less value than an equivalent one from Xiaomi or honor — at least, on paper.
Samsung's off to a great start in 2017 with this well-priced, well-designed and well-specced Android. It's not going to outshine the S7 (or the upcoming S8), but it more than holds its own in the mid-range class, offering a good experience all round for its £369 price tag.

great screen, superb design, super battery life, water and dust-resistant (IP68), expandable storage, broad wireless mobile network frequency coverage, USB Type-C, fast SoC
no OTG, USB 2.0 only, body SAR could be lower, no dual-SIM, PWM, weak system performance, slow eMMC storage
The Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 is a beautiful phone with a sharp screen, fast processor, and plenty of memory. Now that the price has fallen to around £20/month, it's super value too.
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.
The Galaxy A5 2017 is a fantastic mid-range phone, with the looks of a flagship and some decent performance and all-round specs. Our only real concern is that Samsung is pricing itself out the market, with just a small difference in price separating this and the Galaxy S7 – we like the new Galaxy...
Fresh from the official launch of their Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017) , we managed to get some time with both phones, taking them for a spin and checking out the features.
