The main disadvantages:

– no MHL (but USB OTG supported);
All the resume is to ensure that it is necessary to compare this smartphone Galaxy S6, once the company is positioning the gadget as his replacement. And then it turns out that the order does not hold a smartphone, though, and got some bonuses in the form of MicroSD and FM-radio, which have no flagship. But the camera has a lower resolution – 13 megapixels to 16 megapixels. And 1080p video against 2160r. The gadget also received more capacious battery – 2900 mA • h against 2550 mA • h, but did not get the possibility of wireless charging. Yet he did not get the screen resolution – 1080p, instead of QHD. But was slower chipset with less memory: 2 GB to 3 GB. No sensor and heart rate sensor and oxygen in the blood.
The technical output is difficult to understand why Galaxy A5 2016 must be replaced by Galaxy S6. This is a completely different phone, lower level. Better he has only the volume of the battery. The camera was a weak, weak processor, small memory and RAM. Compared with the first generation of the flagship, of course.
This is despite the fact that the original Galaxy A5 2014 was an ambitious project that offers an outstanding range of schemes at an affordable price. A new smartphone offers only Samsung Pay. Internally and externally, he did not change.
Pack
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) offers a retail package of the fast charger 15 watts and cable MicroUSB 2.0 and headphone-headset with a three-button remote control. That is, nothing has changed in the configuration.
Take the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) in the hands of a ruler and measure it – 144,8 × 71 × 7,3 mm. Weight – 155 g This makes it larger and heavier than the Galaxy S6. And it’s not the size, and weight – 138 grams weighs S6).
Hardware Overview
What is the favorite snack at a premium phone? A sandwich of glass and metal as the body, of course! This is the most popular combo, after an all-metal enclosure. So, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) still received a new class of protective glass Gorilla Glass 4. It is the same and is the flagship of S6.
Metal side bevelled with small bumps on each of the four corners, which improve grip and provide a more secure hold on the slippery surface.
Framing around the screen average, but Samsung designers have created the illusion of a very thin frame. To do this, they used black glass and metal sloped sides to hide the extra thickness.
The arm A5 (2016) there is an impressive device. We’ve learned that the average level of telephones with the size have a light weight. It is neither good nor bad, just an opinion.
What is really good – so this new screen resolution. The smartphone has improved from 720p to 1080p. Throw in the appearance and the fingerprint sensor on the button Home. Let this first wave sensor, the cheapest and not the most comfortable, but it now has. We can only regret that not behind.
What is bad – touch keys lost the opportunity to prolonged illumination. Apparently, in order to save battery power, which is already increased in volume. But the possibility of improved self-camera, to help the user with night photography.
The beveled Gorilla Glass 4 on the front and rear creates a nice curve that extends in a metal frame. The technology is now much more pronounced than in the Galaxy S6, and the phone felt better in his hands after such treatment.
On each side has a standard power button and volume control, as well as slots for nano-SIM cards and MicroSD. The metal frame is not very thick, which leaves very little space buttons. They are narrow.
On the back of a slightly rough surface appeared. The rear part is available in black, white, gold and pink, and the front is almost always painted black (aside from the white version). The metal on the sides of the rear of the matches.
13-megapixel camera can not have a sensor S6, but it has a large aperture F / 1.9 and automatic image stabilization. And it does not sticks. One monochrome LED flash is a bargain. Next to it there is no heart rate sensor, or oxygen in the blood, as in S6.
At the bottom of the phone is MicroUSB 2.0 port, and a speaker (hidden behind bars drilled holes). There is also a microphone on the top and at the bottom – this pair is used for noise reduction and stereo sound.
Final words
The result is a strange conclusion. Design Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) turned out even better than the flagship of the S6, but in the order of gadget inferior competitors, which have long been able to shoot video in ultra-high resolution and have a QHD-screens. So technically Samsung is not too surprising in the middle segment of the consumer. But if you want a beautiful phone – this gadget can be an excellent choice.
