Samsung has improved a lot in its mid range devices after the launch of its ALPHA series.
The Samsung phones which were considered to be over priced and feature less have now come out of this by introducing phones like alpha, A7 etc.
The phone feels premium in hands. Powered by a media tek chip the samsung makes it affordable.The sony lens in it gives you excellent pictures compared to other models on the same price bracket.
The finger print sensor is fine.The phone is though loaded with malware and bloatware from Samsung.
But the phone performs upto the mark when used.
