Objective Review
Overall performance is very good, and especially compared to the previous generation Galaxy A5, this upgrade can be said that the Great Leap Forward. But compared to the price difference and their own little Asus ZenFone Zoom it, Galaxy A5 (2016) specification was not enough for the generous, this is the most unfortunate place, also was criticized many users a consistent point.

* Data from ZETAIL X library. To achieve the objective criteria, each phone will be in their respective market positioning comparison of competing products, rather than "the following pair."
introduction
Last year, when, Samsung introduced three "Galaxy A" series of phones are Samsung Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 and the Galaxy the A8 , and perhaps because the positioning is quite clear and quite attractive in a few points , three mobile phones sales performance is quite good.
At the beginning of this year, Samsung will bring this long for us "No Surprise surprise," was published three phones successor models, the former two only add "(2016)" in the back, but the Galaxy's successor models A8 directly referred to the Galaxy A9 (really super more recently the a . 9 of ...), but Galaxy A9 has not made available in Taiwan, currently only Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A7 (2016). Actually, the most important difference between the two is in the screen and battery capacity, but rather because I prefer five-inch vertical dimension of the screen phone, so we chose today we want you to evaluation of the product - Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016).
Designs
For me personally, Galaxy A5 (2016) looks completely beyond this price level as the others, very textured and very beautiful. In my view, Galaxy A5 (2016) The only problem is that the appearance of the back cover is too easy to fingerprints, unlike Sony Xperia Z5 Premium 's "mirror" like clear, unlike Sony Xperia Z3 is not easy as reflected in a rather awkward stage, when neither way mirror, and very easy to stick fingerprint is really annoying ah!
Recently various manufacturers seem to have the same goal, is to own a mobile phone Add " rose gold " or "pink special color" and the like, while the Galaxy A5 (2016) is the new pink, elegant look many, most people have seen give praise, we highly encourage Samsung can continue to use this color in each series on consumer electronics.
▲ Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) positive inherited Samsung phones consistent design language, but the introduction of 2.5D screen, let it look more stylish appearance.
▲ Pink Galaxy A5 (2016) is really very beautiful, it is recommended can go and see the real machine.
▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) placed the power button on the right side of the fuselage and a slot, the slot can put the nano-SIM and micro-SD (up to 128GB).
Bottom ▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) has a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro-USB slot and a single horn, and is not aligned harm I see a really comfortable ah XD.
▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) thickness to now standard throughout the industry point of view is not very thin, but considering that it also placed inside a large 2900mAh battery, in fact, like this thickness is also very good.
▲ button below the previous configuration and Samsung mobile phones exactly the same, but our hands next to Galaxy A5 (2016) both return key and multi-key sensor seems a bit bad.
▲ camera lens is still raised, but the level has been raised + or lower than the Galaxy Note 5 Galaxy S6 edge a lot, it be a good thing.
Screen
Galaxy A5 (2016) there is a price to spend flagship grade Super AMOLED screen we must encourage it, after all, are in the same price band, a cell phone to use it rotten screen ah ... OK back to the topic, on the whole, Galaxy A5 (2016) screen brightness performance is very good, the color temperature varies, and sometimes look a long time will feel cool color temperature, eyes uncomfortable. As for viewing angle it, there are still issues that we raised at Galaxy A8-depth evaluation had, this problem can be improved if, Super AMOLED is really no big disadvantage.
Also, incidentally, Galaxy A5 (2016) is the use of 2.5D screen, visually and operation can have a slightly extra points, especially at the movies when the feeling is really great, but we believe it with HTC One A9 as curved handle area is too small, had perhaps 20 points, but it is only with 10 points.
▲ 2.5D screen is certainly beautiful, but this will increase the chance of dropped when the phone screen break anymore, and millions to be careful.
▲ Super AMOLED screen performance is quite good overall.
system
In order to locate the phone for, Galaxy A5 (2016) processor performance is actually just right, and not particularly prominent point, generally use less experience Caton situation, the performance of law-abiding.Incidentally, in our ZETAIL X library, Galaxy A5 (2016) to run sub-score than its competitors HTC One A9 to be more low.
In fact, Galaxy A5 (2016) some designs kinda strange, like the Galaxy A series flagship entertainment nature should be, but only to the capacity of 16GB, which is how to put movies, music download App with ah ... In our opinion , 16GB ROM + provides memory expansion card function is not a long-term solution.
camera
Galaxy A5 (2016) good overall performance of the camera, especially the Japanese film, shutter speed and photo storage almost comparable to Apple's iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, plus the OIS optical anti-shake, even when shooting while walking can also have a pretty stable imaging, all in all, Galaxy A5 (2016) of Japan beat performance is very good. Night shooting continues the advantages of shooting date and photo storage shutter speed, night shoot good resolving power, a sense of painting is not heavy, but the noise ones, failed to maintain the day to shoot a powerful performance.
Again it said common drawback of the night shoot, focus speed is too slow, there is no big brother Galaxy S6 / Note 5 phase focusing is not, if you can choose, I would rather sacrifice Samsung large aperture to change faster focusing system. Galaxy A5 (2016) still retains the double-click camera features quick start, most of the start-up speed really quickly, but functions with no additional Galaxy A8 compared to what looks like an individual's HDR function, "humble" in " professional "mode ... and so on, all are similar.
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Sign imaging (without going through any editing. Photo click to enlarge)
▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) generally dim the photo shoot, mainly in order to maintain the bright portions will not be too exposed, but we recommend the metering position can be located in a dark place, otherwise the image does not look very nice (this photo automatic metering system).
▲ This is the 01/23 day of the photographs taken, because it is a cloudy day, so the whole course, is biased dim. This time we will compare the camera metering position is set in a dark place, the photo looks more normal. You also can click to enlarge to see features on the HTC One A9 advertising, Galaxy A5 (2016) resolving power is quite good.
▲ Then take a look at the night shoot, in fact, you can see a thumbnail to see the photo noise quite a lot, especially in the building and the sky above, but the brightness and resolution of the performance is still good.
▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) night shooting performance advantages and disadvantages are the same. In addition, inhibition of light do not very good.
▲ 01/24 day we '11th KKBOX Billboard Awards "scene photographs.
▲ Later we will zoom to the maximum number of bits they shoot again.
Sound
Galaxy A5 (2016) audio performance we expect no good, it sounds a bit thin, but the sound quality is not satisfactory, compared to One A9 and Asus ZenFone Zoom that is really different grades. But after a good plug in headphones, Galaxy A5 (2016) or can be used to SoundAlive + and vacuum tubes to enhance the sense of hearing music, of course, high-end "UHQ Upscaler" is not built.
Life, fever
Galaxy A5 (2016) equipped with a 5.2-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution screen and a 2900mAh battery, I did it without any endurance performance expectations, the results did not expect its performance is beyond my unexpected good, after spent more than 12 hours, there is still residual capacity of 28%, which is 12 hours in watching movies, listening to music, take pictures and videos ... and so on, must say Galaxy A5 (2016) entertainment guide in this life is Deserved.
Fever control aspect is also very good, whether it is to play the big game (NBA 2K15) to take pictures or video for a long time, I felt Galaxy A5 (2016) The highest temperature just a little bit of temperature it can be said that the extent of not even warm to, the performance is excellent.
▲ Galaxy A5 (2016) lasted twelve hours of battery life test results.
Fingerprint
Although the Galaxy A5 (2016) there are mounted fingerprint recognition, but also very easy to use, but do not know why I always feel it a little longer delay time, whether it is time to wake up the screen or unlock the same time, fingerprint identification HTC One A9 performance did not come well.
There is also a function of castration, is the "privacy mode" function (this function is the previous generation), this function should not require much added cost, but Samsung will only use this feature on the flagship machine, a little stingy point (and there is no such function One A9 ah tantamount Samsung give up the opportunity to go beyond the opponent).
end
Finally, to back you look at the whole system, we believe that Galaxy A5 (2016) the most attractive, the best performance or the best value places on the appearance of the screen, a camera and a range of these four points, if you purchase is required in the above the four points, Galaxy A5 (2016) can indeed be included in your account. Finally, we still have to make a thing can not happen: "Why do not gamble the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) lowering the price of three or four thousand dollars will be sold ah?!"
