Launched last year, the series of Galaxy A Samsung was not particularly won us over. Focusing more on looks than experience, the Galaxy A5, including, showed a price that seemed disconnected from reality. This year, the design was further worked, but the bowels finally show performances worthy of the name. Samsung launches 2016 the most beautiful way.
Disappointing in 2015, the technical specifications of Samsung Galaxy A5 is more convincing in 2016. This terminal has a 5.2 inch screen AMOLED slab Full HD (1920 x 1080 px) overlooking a fingerprint reader. It is powered by an Exynos SoC 7580-8 core ARM Cortex A53 clocked at 1.6GHz, 2GB of RAM and a Mali-T720 MP2 iGPU. The photo is entrusted to two sensors 13 and 5MP, respectively the back and front, the first enjoying a optical stabilization. The internal memory is expandable to 16GB by adding a microSD card and power is supplied by a battery of 2900 mAh. The animation is left to Android 5.1 Lollipop; Marshmallow point yet.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) launched the € 409 tariff or sixty less than what is claimed for a Galaxy S6 today.
For its Galaxy A5 2016, Samsung has moved away from the previous version in terms of design, to approach the Galaxy S6. We thus find a brushed metal frame and dressed back glass. Elegance is up and finishes are worthy of those of the most exclusive smartphones. The visual impression and first impressions are indeed as good as with the GS series 2015.
The positioning of the buttons is also the same. The volume buttons are on the left and the unlocking portion is the opposite. If it falls perfectly under the thumb of a right hand, volume management requires a little more gymnastics with one hand and it will still use both to cover the entire screen. The latter occupies slightly less than 73% of the front face, a correct score, slightly below that of LG G4 (74%).
The fingerprint reader is still located below the display on the Center button. Android navigation keys are placed on either side and not on the screen, as some competitors. This unlock mode is as good as this A5 on GS6. His presence on the front allows for use even when the terminal is placed on a table, which remains impossible on smartphones like the Honor 7 , the biometric sensor is back.
To finish this successful picture, the Galaxy A5 has the good sense not to heat. Its temperature remains without discomfort for gripping, even after several tens of minutes.
SCREEN:
Samsung has chosen to offer a definition worthy positioning of his terminal. Thus, the slab Super AMOLED 5.2 inch display of Full HD (1920 x 1080 px) for a very comfortable resolution of 423 dpi. The display is clear and it shows especially on the text, the reading experience is satisfying. We also noted a maximum brightness of 437 cd / m², a very good score for that panel technology. Especially with an almost infinite contrast, sunlight readability remains excellent. The reflections will invite them very little, the light reflection rate limiting itself to 10%. Until then, except in terms of definition and for specific uses - including VR - The Galaxy A5 is comparable to the Galaxy S6 and easily outdoes serious competitors like Mate S or 7 Honor.
INTERFACE ET NAVIGATION:
TouchWiz has nice not being the most preferred overcoat, she still deserves to be relatively
effective. It shows the outline of the stock version of Android 5.1 Lollipop and stands out especially in visual terms. It is possible to change the overall look of the interface with a theme store, free or paid.
Samsung is not stingy in house applications. Indeed, in addition Google Apps stamped, we note the presence of proprietary music players, and video, S Planner, S Health or the Galaxy Apps store. Korean does not uninstall them, but still offers the ability to disable to limit their impact on performance and memory. Microsoft applications are present by default
Samsung incorporates some "intelligent" actions to its interface. It is possible to switch the smartphone silently returning it or take a screenshot by passing your hand over it. Nothing too fancy, but everything works.
The Exynos 7580 SoC and 8 cores offer overall performance of a good level. The 2GB of RAM help maintain fluidity in all circumstances. Only the rocking of a gourmet application to another requires an additional half-second, no handicap in the absolute.
As the vast majority of its direct competitors, the Galaxy A5 is adorned with a 13 megapixel sensor. However, they are few to offer him as optical stabilization. The latter is welcome and facilitates the capture handheld shots, limiting blurry pictures. The result in full light does not much inferior to that of a iPhone 6 and was less "forced" than a Huawei G8 . Triggering is fast and allows to chain shots. The captured colors are neutral and natural. In low light, it unfortunately falls in average results, with an electronic sound too far. The Honor 7 is more efficient in this area. You can compare the results of the Galaxy A5 to those of competitors in our face-to-face .
