Smartphone "Samsung A5": reviews and characteristics. SAMSUNG GALAXY A5.

Fresh smartphones are becoming more, and their components are less. Nano-type SIM cards are now used. If you have a new big SIM card released after 2011, it can be trimmed by a special device. Old cards are better reissued because they stop working after trimming.

To install SIM cards, use a complete stiletto to push the compartment for the SIM card and flash drive. Next, insert the map and stuff back to the phone. The suction on the left end is designed for card number 1. Top compartment - for card number 2. For clarity, I propose to watch a video:

How to write a conversation on samsung a5?

If you do not consider legal and legal aspects of recording a telephone conversation, to include this feature, use third-party programs From Play Market. For example, "Call Records - Automatic Call Recorder", "C Mobile", "Lovekara" "CallX - Record calls / conversations." My first program helped me that record automatically. The only drawback is an abundance of various advertising.

Not every user has an idea of \u200b\u200ball the useful features of his smartphone. Samsung Galaxy. The problem is that many features are hidden deep in the gadget settings. Today we will tell about eight hidden possibilities of a smartphone running latest version OS Android 5.0 Lollipop, which can be found in an infinite list of application settings in the menu.

For Samsung 2016, it promises to become the next year of testing and struggle for the profit and the share of the smartphone market. 2015 was not bad, although it does not reach the "fat" 2013. The South Korean manufacturer even decided on a certain change of strategy, which, among other things, expressed in the production of metal smartphones. The first swallow was Galaxy Alpha, but there was only edging from the metal. Where Samsung went further with the release of the Galaxy A series.

Everything smartphones Galaxy A Made of metal. Whole and completely, including the rear lid. Three models A3, A5 and A7, differing characteristics and diagonal of the screen, began to be positioned as image products, and this means not the lowest cost. However, their sales were above expectations. Nothing amazing that in 2016 Samsung decided to continue the successful line.

Galaxy A second generation called simply and simple - they added a prescription "(2016)". Yes, right and in brackets. The novelties also received three modifications, and at the same time their design has undergone changes. In this review, we get acquainted with the average representative of the series - Galaxy A5 (2016), it is the SM-A510F model.

Galaxy A5 Video Review (2016)

As always, we will start with a video border. Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is a very interesting phone, and therefore it is worth looking at the video.

Design

It was the bet on the design that Samsung did in the Galaxy A series. Although it would seem where Samsung, and where the design was her smartphones for a long time on this parameter were simply "no". Not terrible, but boring and uninteresting. Although everyone has all used and a certain uniform designer concept is applied, which is why the devices have become well recognizable.

The first Galaxy A looked like typical "Samsungi", but with pointed faces and were made of metal. Moreover, the body has become unintended. In the hand, these tubes are felt perfectly, the metal as always enjoy the hand. And what about 2016 models? Well, at least the metal will not go anywhere.

True, metal has become noticeably less - it is now only on the side ends. However, do not panic ahead of time - rearly set a glass plate, like on the tubes. Designers clearly drew ideas from the flagship products of 2015.

It turned out in fact interesting, even quite. Someone reinforced Galaxy S6 for its similarity from the iPhone 6, but here's about Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), such thoughts simply does not occur. It would seem - he has a lot of things in common with Galaxy S6: chopped sidewalls, lower end with a speaker, protruding 2.5D-glass housing. But the device still has its own individuality, which is absent from all other "Samsungs". In new items a thinner frame round screen and it is stricted.

Behind the glass at Galaxy A5 (2016) there is no transfusion with different colors of the metal, as made from all flagships Galaxy S6 and. Coloring solid, without some kind of delights. In our case, it is black, but the phone is available at least in four different options: Galaxy A5 (2016) Black (black), Galaxy A5 (2016) White (White), Galaxy A5 (2016) Pink (Pink - Hi iPhone 6S!) And Galaxy A5 (2016) Gold (Golden).

It should also be noted the increase in dimensions and weight Galaxy A5 (2016) regarding the predecessor. This is partly due to the growth of the diagonal of the screen (from 5.0 "to 5.2"), and partly with a larger capacity battery installation (2900 mA * h instead of 2300 mA * h). As a result, the thickness of the device increased from 6.7 to 7.3 mm, and the weight has grown from 123 to 155 grams. In principle, nothing is critical, but if you take two tubes at once, then the difference between them will be visible. However, it pleases that the width and height grew literally for a couple of millimeters, so in terms of usability, nothing has changed.

And, ending the section on the design, add that the assembly of Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is just excellent. However, it is easier to achieve such a result with an unintended corps. On the other hand, we are talking about the imaging not cheap series, so that we did not expect other things.

Connectors and controls

Despite the design update, Samsung's ergonomics continues to remain unchanged, which is an additional advantage for fans of this product.

The screen is speaker, facial camera, lighting and approximation sensors.

From the bottom, under the screen, the touch buttons of the task manager and back, as well as the traditional mechanical home button. The latter this time is located close enough to the screen, so that sometimes clicking on it, the finger taped the sensor on the display. And so the print scanner is now built into it - this is another difference compared to the last generation Galaxy A.

The parameters of the dactyloscopic sensor are set in the settings in the "Lock and Protection Screen" section. As always, the imprint is added to several touch, and after it can be installed on unlocking the smartphone. In case it is impossible to use it, it is proposed to enter a spare password.

And so Samsung proposes to apply prints also for authorization on sites and in account Samsung. How it all looks in practice, will show our short video:

Touch buttons are equipped with backlight. Without it, they are not visible at all.

Rear all the elements are grouped at the top. In particular, this is a manufacturer's logo, a little protruding camera lens and a LED flash.

On the left end placed the volume control buttons. They are also metal.

On the right there is a power button and compartment for SIM cards and a microSD card. We dealt with Galaxy A5 (2016) DUOS.

The card holder is extracted with ejector or thin stationery clip. Here you have to mark two important details: only Nanosim cards are supported and the memory card is installed instead of one SIM card. That is, you can choose one of two options: SIM + MicroSD or SIM + SIM. How to properly install SIM cards and MicroSD card in Galaxy A5 (2016), will tell our short video:

The top end is almost empty. Here are placed antenna inserts and a microphone for noise reduction.

The bottom pair of the inserts antenna is located below, and even here the external speaker, a conversational microphone, a microUSB port and 3.5 mm minijack for headphones and headsets are transferred. Note that the placement of the audio connector below is a very successful solution - so much more convenient.

TOTAL ERGONOMIC SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2016) usually suits us. All buttons on the usual places, the connectors are located as convenient as possible, and the manufacturer did not refuse the manufacturer from the slot for the memory card. It is a pity that the body is uncalapping.

Case for Galaxy A5 (2016)

At the time of preparation of the article covers for Galaxy A5 (2016), a bit was released, which is logical - the device is quite new.

Immediately on sale there is such a book for Galaxy A5 (2016), which can be used about 900 rubles.

We are confident that over time covers will appear decently, including the Samsung itself.

Screen

Galaxy A is a series of image smartphones, that is, not cheap. Of course, the stop in them is made on the design and materials, but it would not be at all Komilfo to equip the tubes with a bad screen, especially for samsung. So even the first generation of the line A is almost equipped with SUPER AMOLED screens, however, different versions of phones have difference. And here for this parameter Galaxy A5 (2016) has grown significantly.

It is about the fact that permission has grown from 1280x720 at the first Galaxy A5 to 1920x1080 pixels at the current one. At the same time, a diagonal has grown up from 5.0 "to 5.2", but the screen frame has become thinner, so the dimensions of the devices are extremely similar. The display provides the final density of points 424 PPI (against 294 PPI at the predecessor), which even if not a maximum of modern standards, but still quite a very decent indicator.

SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2016) screen (2016) is very cool. This is if subjectively. It may well compare with those matrices that are used in the company's flagships like Galaxy S6. Undoubtedly, the last display is better, but if you don't put both smartphones nearby, then you are unlikely to notice the difference. So the new Galaxy A5 perfectly behaves in the sun, has a decent stock of brightness, deep black and wide viewing angles.

If we talk more specifically, we measured the brightness of the screen at the level of 374.35 cd / m 2, which is good enough. The brightness of the black point, due to the features of the OLED technology, measuring meaningless - it can be said zero. In other words, the black color looks truly black, and the contrast to strive for infinity.

Amoled-display color coverage may vary depending on the profile selected in the settings. By default, SAMSUNG phones are installed "Adaptive". As you can see, in this case, its coverage significantly exceeds the SRGB color space and approaches professional adobergb. The image in this case is very bright and saturated. If you are attracted to calmer shades, characteristic of IPS matrices, then it is better to choose the "main" profile. Let the color coverage suway to SRGB, but you still won't see the difference.

Another advantage of the "main" profile is closer to the optimal value of the color temperature. Recall, the value of 6500K is considered comfortable, and in the "main" profile it varies in the range of 6400-6900k. That is, the picture looks warmer and natural. "Adaptive" profile in turn provides a higher color temperature at 7800-8000k, that is, the image is colder.

Gamma curves screens look good. They are almost merged with a reference curve 2.2, only the "main" profile curve is barely performing in the middle. That is, fragments of images with medium brightness (gray and the like) are outlined slightly lighter than necessary. It's not noticeable on the eye.

The screen recognizes to five simultaneous touches, which is strange - usually the amoled displays have support for a dozen touch. It is possible that this is a limit program.

Screen settings, and in particular the profile change occurs in the "Display" section of the system settings. Next, you need to proceed to the "Screen Mode" subsection. There are still present profiles "Movie AMOLED" and "AMOLED". According to their name, and so understandable which is for what is intended.

As you understand, the Galaxy A5 screen (2016) we liked. He has a good resolution, excellent color reproduction, wide viewing angles, it is protected by glass Gorilla Glass 4, and he also has the ability to change the color profile.

Camera

The resolution of the Galaxy A5 chamber (2016) compared to the first model did not increase - it is 13 megapixel. However, this did not hurt to install a more perfect sensor and lens. In particular, the new smartphone camera is equipped with an image stabilizer.

Camera application standard for Samsung phones. However, compared with the flagships, it is facilitated by Galaxy A5 (2016). But the most basic effects and opportunities here are present, including the popular HDR mode.

But shooting modes are clearly less than that of top products. And in the Pro mode, you can only customize the white balance, ISO photosensitivity and exposure. In the "full-fledged" version, it is also allowed to adjust the color palette, the focus distance and the duration of the excerpt.

Resolution changes in the settings. Another noticeable difference from the flagships is the maximum resolution of the pictures is achieved with the aspect ratio of the screen 4: 3, and not 16: 9.

SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2016) snapshots (2016) look very decent. Sometimes she happens misses with focus, but with more all decently on the assessment of "above average." Especially good everything looks in daylight, but it is not surprising. In conditions of bad lighting, if you try not to move your hands, frames are more than successful.

Video resolution, unfortunately, is also artificially limited by the value of Full HD, while 4k has yet left flagships.

The video looks decent, with a good white balance, is not damped, quite clear.

The front camera has its own shooting modes, although they are even less. But "group selfie" clearly will not be superfluous.

The resolution of the facial sensor is 5 megapixel and it is also achieved at the ratio of frames of 4: 3.

The shooting quality at the front camera is very worthy. Photos are obtained sufficiently sharp, not littered, without disrupting the white balance. Only night pictures are closed and noisy.

Video resolution is the same as the rear chamber - Full HD. For the front sensor, this is a very good option.

You know, not so easy to distinguish the video from the front camera from the video from the main, rear. It looks in general no worse.

Total Camera Galaxy A5 (2016) We had to do. They remove well, and even in conditions of bad lighting. Photos and video is clear, with the right white balance and the work of the stabilizer is visible.

Characteristics Galaxy A5 (2016)

The Galaxy A line for 2016 as a whole consists of the former main models: A3, A5 and A7. In this case, there are still A8 and A9 for individual local markets. They are not supplied to us and are not clear whether. At the same time, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) is available both in the version with one SIM card and two (Galaxy A5 (2016) DUOS). The model in the instance that has fallen to us was SM-A510F / DS.

Changes in Galaxy A5 (2016) compared with the predecessor decently. This is an improved processor, and a new video card, and a large resolution screen, and at the same time a battery of an increased container. Add a completely different design to this list. In general, the novelty has decent arguments to go to it with an older model.

The processor in Galaxy A5 for 2016 was used relatively new, Samsung Exynos 7580. For the first time we met him in the summer of 2015. This chipset for the middle class of smartphones, equipped with the eight of the cortex-a53 nuclei, operating at a frequency of 1.6 GHz. In principle, a fairly productive solution for a wide range of products. It will definitely be faster than quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, installed in Galaxy A5 for 2015.

The only complaint to Exynos 7580 is his video card. Mali-T720 MP2 is although a modern accelerator, but based on architecture for inexpensive chipsets. In addition, there are only two executive blocks. Competing MEDIATEK solutions for eight similar cores Cortex-A53 typically add a MALI-T760 graphic chip, which is noticeably faster. No, we do not want to say that the proposed version of the slow, but for the balance of power it still should be done faster.

RAM is present 2 GB - no progress happened here. However, it is still not required here, since 3 GB is still current scope for flagships, which Galaxy A5 (2016), despite its parameters, is not. Exactly the same can be said about the volume of the built-in memory, which is present 16 GB. 32 GB in the mid-level smartphone, albeit image, it is too early to install. But, unlike the Samsung flagships, 2015, in our phone the memory can be expanded by MicroSD cards.

Otherwise, the possibility of Galaxy A5 (2016) is quite consistent with positioning. In terms of communication, everything you need are supported: Bluetooth 4.1, 802.11n, LTE category 6 and NFC. Also, we will remind, there is a scanner of prints, which the first generation A5 does not have. So we have a modern smartphone with good characteristics, a decent design and excellent performance. But how fast is he fast?

Testing productivity

Unfortunately, we failed to get acquainted at one time with the first Galaxy A5, and therefore we present the test results in comparison with. This smartphone in terms of its characteristics largely coincides with the A5 - they only have a different amount of memory, which is fundamentally on the speed during testing effects.

The old test SmartBench 2012 showed parity in the system-wide tasks, obviously unable to effectively use many processor cores, and in the games gave the victory of Galaxy A5. Apparently, Mali-T720 is not such a slow video card.

Another Benchmark "Old Hardening" Quadrant Standard could more effectively distribute the load and definitely showed the victory of Galaxy A5 (2016) - the difference is almost double.

But Basemark II on the contrary, something could not "hurt" with all the SAMSUNG Galaxy A5 cores (2016) and showed its significant lag.

However, the Sunspider browser test shows that the new Galaxy A5 works faster.

An old Nenamark2 game test, despite his relative "simplicity," was able to still identify the winner in the face of the "fresh" smartphone Galaxy A5 (2015).

New and current 3DMark shows another superiority of the actual phone. In general, let Galaxy A5 (2016) and its MALI-T720 MP2 video card are not the most, but their speed will be enough for most use scenarios.

At one time, Galaxy J5 and especially Galaxy J7 surprised us with its autonomy. Galaxy A5 (2016) should also be decent, given the caustic battery at 2900 mA * h - it is noticeably more than 2300 mA * h in the predecessor. So it turned out - the autonomy of the new smartphone is at a very worthy level. It is not as good as J5, but on average it is better than most of the analogues.

Here you have a "weak" video card. As can be seen in the diagram, it is for 3D games that accounts for the maximum energy consumption. Further on voraciousness is surfing on the Internet via Wi-Fi or a cellular network, as well as two-dimensional games. Video and reading consumes approximately the same, no matter how strange it sounds.

In the settings you can see the battery life statistics. The extreme energy saving mode is also present here, which allows you to get several hours of operation at low battery charge. True, in this case, everything will become black and white - the feature of amoled screens is used, at which energy consumes only the part of the display, which is active, that is, is different from black.

Total Galaxy A5 (2016) is a smartphone with good performance and decent autonomy.

Galaxy A5 games (2016)

In theory of the game, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) should not slow down. However, do not forget that the video card at the smartphone is not topped, and the screen resolution is high, Full HD.

• RIPTIDE GP2.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Asphalt 7.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• ASPHALT 8.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Modern Combat 5: Blackout: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• N.O.V.A. 3.: some delays are visible;

• Dead Trigger.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Real Racing 3.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Shadowgun: Dead Zone: Excellent, the game does not slow down;
• Frontline Commando: Normandy: did not start;
• Frontline Commando 2.: did not start;
• Eternity Warriors 2.: did not start;

• Eternity Warriors 3.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Eternity Warriors 4.: some delays are visible;

• Trial Xtreme 3.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Trial Xtreme 4.: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Plants VS Zombies 2: Excellent, the game does not slow down;

• Iron Man 3: Excellent, the game does not slow down;
• Dead Target.: did not start.

Minor "delays" happened in the games N.O.V.A. 3 and Eternity Warriors 4. But these games in terms of graphics are heavy enough, so nothing surprising. And do not pay attention to several games with the mark "not started" - our instance of the smartphone was with a non-final version of the firmware, because of which they did not want to start. The retail version must be deprived of this flaw.

BY

Galaxy A5 (2015) comes with fresh, which is almost guaranteed, will update before - in this regard, Samsung behaves very well, especially when you have to deal with expensive smartphones.

On top of the system from Google, as always installed the TouchWiz shell. She has one Samsung on all smartphones, but its filling is characterized by pre-installed applications.

There is even a special section Galaxy Essentials in the Galaxy Apps Apps. Here there are links to the translator's translator s Translator, Optical Reader text recognizer, children's mode, audio editor Soundcamp. It should be noted that the flagships Samsung Apps Even more, and at the same time there is a section of Galaxy Gifts with a subscription complex for various services.

And so a set of pre-installed applications has something from flagships.

In particular, this is an application-diary diary S Health. True, Samsung's top products here can still be measured with a pulse, while Galaxy A5 (2016) is deprived of a built-in pulser.

There is still a voice assistant S Voice, which the South Korean company continues to develop, despite Google Now and the Microsoft Cortana output on Android. Moreover, according to the latest information, SAMSUNG has not intended to minimize this development.

Smart Manager no longer "exclusive" is the norm for all Samsung devices. Recall that this application allows you to follow the cost of RAM, the built-in flash drive, battery consumption, and at the same time turns on the KNOX application, which allows you to improve the safety of the device.

Microsoft applications on SAMSUNG smartphones and tablets are also not special - they are here in agreement between companies. Moreover, Word, Excel and PowerPoint will have to download separately, for which a special thank you - they are doing decent places! Also pleases 100 GB of place in the ONEDRIVE cloud.

A set of standard applications consisting of a file manager, calculator, hours, calendar, voice recorder, FM radio and so on is also present. In a special recycled version from Samsung.

Output

SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2016) We like. Just like good smartphone "He attracts attention to himself right away, he wants to take him in his hands, touch himself, see what is installed and so on. From a designer point of view, everything is fine here: metal and glass, everything is stylish and beautiful, so the effect is appropriate. Keep the phone is really nice - it is felt by a reliable metal bar.

At the same time, the smartphone turned out to be more than practical. In favor of appearance, designers did not compromise, refusing ease of use. The only complaint here to the unintended body and the impossibility of self-shift of the battery. And so, compared with the flagships of Samsung 2015, even memory cards are supported!

In terms of speed, Galaxy A5 (2016) is not a record holder, but its productivity is high, thanks to the 8-core processor Samsung. Let his characteristics are not maximal, but they are enough for games and smooth interface animation.

Price Galaxy A5 (2016)

This flagship of 2015 from Huawei also looks worthy. In P8, the housing is made of metal, there is a good 5.2-inch screen Full HD, a good 13 megapixel camera, a fast 8-core processor and 3 GB of RAM. But it is more expensive - while 30 thousand in the area.

The device is made on the basis of the 8-nuclear top processor MediaTek Helio X10, has 3 GB of RAM, 21 MP chamber, 5-inch Full HD screen. But the screen, believe me, the Samsung smartphone is noticeably better. And it is worth Xperia M5 decently - in the region of 27-28 thousand.
