Samsung Galaxy A5 Comes with Durable Specs, New Corning Gorilla Glass 4

Samsung is one of the best premium smartphone manufacturers of the modern era and there is no denying that this South Korean tech giant is good at packing its devices up to near bursting point with special features and exceptional specs.   

There has always been the debate about the design of Samsung premium models, which usually makes use of plastic that eventually makes them look and feel cheaper than the metallic and aluminum devices. This is something Samsung has taken note of in the recent market with the introduction of metal frames in the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Alpha. Samsung has also been making its name in the mid-range smartphones and with the Samsung Galaxy A5, users have something that does not need them to break a bank every time they are in need of a new smartphone.

Here’s a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy A5.

Design

The only major change in the design of the Samsung Galaxy A5 when compared to other Samsung models is the build material where the phone now features a full metal unibody. This body does not mean the Galaxy A5 is bulky as it weighs about 123 grams and it’s in fact one of the thinnest smartphones Samsung has ever made with its 6.7 mm thickness. However, this thinness means that the main camera module protrudes a little bit.

As you may have noticed, the design of the Galaxy A5 is sleek, light and premium – which is what Samsung users have been calling for and it’s just a signal of what is coming from Samsung.

Display

The Galaxy A5 has an impressive 5.0-inch screen size with Super AMOLED display. This screen has a 720p resolution and a pixel density of 294 pixels per inch.
