Samsung has elevated their game to a great extent with the all metallic frame taking hints from it’s several competitors.
The A5 is no exception, it does look pretty good, weighs light for a phone of 5 in screen(120g), amazing matte aluminium alloy finish, good screen to body ratio, and sleek polished frame, it surely deserves to be called premium .
The amoled 5in HD screen is pretty bright and adds to the aesthetics of the phone. The auto brightness feature works pretty well too. It is protected by corning gorilla glass 3.
The camera is a *strong ponit * of the a5. The rear of 13mp especially. It focuses fast and doesn’t show shutter lag. The front cam of 5mp can be however better, considering the competition. Outdoor photography is excellent, while things can be improved on the inside. The m4 aqua does a better outdoor and has a wider view angle.
performance wise there is nothing much to complain about the a5. While it isnt the fastest phone under 20k. Asus zenphone, Sony m4 aqua, One plus X are all faster. But it does a decent job for normal usage.
For it’s great looks, lightness and touch wiz it is a good deal, but you may also consider other phones
