Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Pro Reviews

Looking at the asking price, one finds an interesting fact: the A5 (2017) is the most expensive A5 in the three years of the family, with a price of €430 (the equivalent of $456), which is some €30 higher than its predecessors. At the same time, it isn't much cheaper than the Galaxy S7. The latter's price has dropped since its launch, and it can now be bought for around €500 in Europe. We think the extra €70 spent on it would be worth it. Also, you can find the S7 in the United States on sale for around $450. With these new price realities in mind, the pros of the Galaxy S7 far outweigh those of the new A5 (2017). Samsung’s new mid-ranger is interesting, but it would become the better choice between these two if and when Samsung drops its price a little bit.

All things considered, the Galaxy A5 (2017) is not a bad phone. It’s a very, very good phone. Get it if you truly care about long battery life, the feature-rich interface and excellent keyboard typing experience. Get it for the looks. For all else, other phones are priced more fairly and offer more bang for the buck.
