Realized the A5 (2016) doesn't have a gyro in it. Sigh.
Samsung has abandoned it in A & J series.  vmad.gif

Anyone using A5 2016? How good is it? I am thinking of getting the 2016 or 2017 model.

how do you define good?
i think the A series is quite pricey due to the built quality (gorilla glass 4 front and back).

Hi guys, i just bought a A3 last week, spec is inferior than A5 obviously but I prefer smaller screen.

Dunno y Samsung removed notification LED from this series, as I'm very used to it since my previous phone.

Do u guys know any apps that can mimic the function of the notification LED? Daydream mode is good but only works during charging <span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:65% 47.5%;background-size:4100%" title="sweat_smile"></span></span>

This phone's spec is just sufficient for normal usage, I mean jump between fb, whatsapp, gmap, chrome, sometimes even a bit laggy. I didn't install Waze bcos I know it is another memory hogging apps.

Definitely not for gaming. It took at least 20sec + to open Pokemon Go.

I was kinda regret actually for not up budget to get A5 back then, I chose this mainly due to screen size & it's cheaper only.

I don't recommend u to get this phone now as it's spec started to fall behind, try look for alternatives.

Btw 2017 A5 & A7 r said got weather resistant already, but not release yet.

thanks for review mate..

kinda waiting either for A3(2017) or gonna buy the A5(2016)

A5(2017) is kinda expensive at RM1699 for a mid ranger While it got water resistance feature, it lost the OIS like its predecessor

I usually check around and read.

Based on your usage. I think you need to look for the phone with minimum 2GB of RAM. Optimal are more than 3GB and above.
So if Samsung devices, probably you gonna check out latest A5 2017 / A7 2017.

But after check back your previous posts, I assume your budget is below RM1399? Maybe look at A7 2016? It came with 3GB of RAM.
Also if you use a lot of Navigation, stick with the phone come with Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC are better which usually have more reliable GPS.

Maybe you have to look for other brand out there, or maybe last year flagships.

oh I see.

Yeah, 2GB seem insufficient to me..the only time I used more than 2GB ram was with Zenfone 2, that was 4GB. But the phone is too big for me. That being said, I dont prefer big phone either. A7 2016 is a bit large at 5.5.

Im looking for any 2nd hand deal for the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge. On this forum, found a couple with price around 1k-1.2k.

Another thing, I dont like much on the now trending unibody design languange..for now, I like Samsung and Sony design better..but these guys are expensive

Wow, i didnt know that tho..about the qualcomm soc is better/reliable for its GPS. thanks for tips man!
