The Galaxy A series can be considered unique not only for Samsung, but also for the Android smartphone market in general. Typically, manufacturers try to cram more powerful hardware into mid-priced smartphones, and their design is made according to the residual principle. The first generation of Galaxy A devices had exactly the opposite: the appearance was interesting, but the hardware let us down. Technically weak smartphones made of metal and glass managed to receive a lot of negative reviews from the press, and yet these devices were popular. This is understandable and even expected: there are not many smartphones with an interesting design for 20-25 thousand rubles; “fashionistas” who don’t want to spend money on a flagship model don’t have much to choose from.

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) in pink - official photo. White, black and gold colors will also be available for new products.

Now the Galaxy A family has been updated, and the leitmotif of this “update” was to improve the technical characteristics of the devices, since the capabilities of previous gadgets did not even reach the unspoken middle-class standards. The new generation has solved this problem - at least “on paper” the characteristics of the Galaxy A3 and A5 look very good. What are they like in practice? We will answer this question after thorough testing of both devices. It is noteworthy that the previous A3 and A5 remain on sale along with the new ones, while the older Galaxy A7 of 2016 pushed its parent off the shelves. We'll talk about it in detail another time.

⇡ Appearance and ergonomics

Of course, Samsung fans will appreciate the fact that the current Galaxy A series smartphones are very similar to the flagship Galaxy S6. This was achieved through the use of similar body proportions, close corner radii and identical color schemes for both flagships and mid-rangers. Indeed, it’s easy to confuse the 2016 Galaxy A5 and the Galaxy S6 with each other, even from a short distance.

However, what the new product has in common with the flagship model is the use of tempered Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the rear panel. The previous generation Galaxy A had a metal back, while the new one has a glass back. This is, perhaps, more beautiful, and Gorilla Glass 4, as we know from experience with other smartphones, is resistant to minor damage and scratches: you can carry devices in the same pocket with keys and coins. But you shouldn’t drop them - the glass will most likely break after the first fall. This is perhaps the main and only disadvantage of using glass instead of metal. By the way, the front panel of the devices is also covered with the same glass - with an oleophobic coating and an anti-glare filter.

The Galaxy A3 and A5 themselves are very similar to each other. The main difference, of course, is the dimensions. The “Five” turned out to be larger: its display is half an inch larger, which could not but affect its weight - it weighs 155 grams, while the “three-ruble” weighs only 132 grams. To be honest, my hands don’t get tired of both smartphones - their weight is acceptable. The younger model turned out to be thinner - 6.9 versus 7.3 mm. In general, the Samsung Galaxy A3 is a compact smartphone that is convenient to use with one hand; To reach all four corners of the A5 display, you will have to hold the device in your hand, like most modern Android gadgets.

For several years in a row, the South Korean group of companies Samsung from Seoul has not ceased to amaze us with its latest inventions from high-tech components.


It satisfies most human needs in the domestic sphere, delighting with new products in telecommunications equipment, household appliances, audio and video devices. Every year the company's progress is growing before our eyes. Who could have expected that a few years after the formation of the company you would have in your hands a rare invention in the form of a mobile phone, for example, a new Galaxy-style product, which is in great demand at the moment in the A3 and A5 series.

Impressions from the new Galaxy A3, as well as Galaxy A5

The smartphone gives us a feeling of solid metal, cast quality in the hand and gives us confidence in reliability. A complete palette of body colors. The sensitivity of GSM, GPS, WiFI receivers is at the required level. The phone will consume little battery power and work quite quickly if configured correctly. Positive image quality, both in regular photography and in macro photography. The speaker volume is satisfactory. Bluetooth works with the car radio without problems: it displays the names of songs in Russian, and you have full control over the playback. A strong, bright flash, as well as a flashlight. Built-in interface themes. There is an energy saving mode. Stable firmware operation.

The smartphone has a similar variety of body colors as the A3, good price-quality ratio, fast, the ability to use either 2 SIMs or 1 SIM + flash drive at the same time, excellent speaker, both external and conversational, multifunctional, user-friendly interface, widescreen screen, video quality and photos at a high level and perhaps the best embodiment of Samsung in the Galaxy series at the moment, the undisputed winner in this category.

Similarities in the A3 and A5 models that you may encounter

When looking at the two phones, you can expect similarities like this:

1. They have a similar design, both in the arrangement of the phones and the placement of individual elements on them.
2. The same metal body stylized as plastic.
3. Quite similar thin body.
4. Both smartphones have a fairly powerful quad-core processor.
5. Both also have the same graphics processor.
6. The main advantage of these smartphones is the presence of two SIM cards.
7. The same menu for using smartphones.
8. Even the internal memory is the same in these two different models.
9. They have a non-removable battery.
10. Both have a slot for an SD card.

What follows from the above? It seems like there is actually progress, but there are so many huge similarities. After all, the fact is that the Samsung brand always adheres to the brand in the production of any of its series.

The difference between the two series, and why is the A5 more powerful than the A3?

So what could be the difference? In appearance, they seem to have identical smartphones. Firstly, the difference is that with each subsequent series Samsung tries to rise to a new level, thereby adding a drop of innovation to its technologies. Using the Galaxy A3 and A5 as an example, the series that followed the A3 came out with a higher quality camera than its predecessor. Also with confident leading indicators in A5 over A3 are:

1. Larger battery capacity of 2300 mAh instead of 1900 mAh, which contributes to longer working time of the device.
2. The amount of RAM has been doubled to 2 GB.
3. The screen diagonal has been increased to 5 inches instead of 4.5.
4. Camera 13 megapixels instead of 8.
5. The level of signal reception quality is higher than in A3.
6. Added a special ability to take a screenshot of your screen.
7. The ability to work in 2-window mode, which cannot be said about the predecessor A3.

The conclusion you should draw!

And so the whole forecast is clear. I think everyone who has ever had a choice between a previous model and a subsequent one chooses the second option. And who knows what the next year or two may await us, because progress keeps pace with the times and is always full of surprises. And to predict what the next phone will be, in what style, with what parameters, size, functions, in what direction Samsung's improvements will go remains a mystery, we just have to be patient and wait for Samsung to delight us again with its innovations in the field of audio - and video devices. And we wish them good luck in the subsequent creation of masterpieces that will impress us again and again.

Samsung Galaxy A5 vs iPhone 5s – is there any point in comparing? After all, 6 and 7 models of these popular devices have already appeared. Undoubtedly! In any case, many people are interested in what is better: Samsung A5 or iPhone 5s? The age-old confrontation bears fruit every year in the form of constant growth of both brands. And before you have time to properly enjoy the capabilities of one, the next model is already coming out.

Interesting, of course, but how to make sense of all this newness? Maybe this is all banal window dressing and there is no fundamental difference? Not at all - the differences are serious, and it is worth carefully understanding the features of the gadget before purchasing a similar toy for yourself.

It might be worthwhile to compare the iPhone 5s and the Samsung Galaxy S5, but in this case it is the Samsung Galaxy 5A that appears. To check, you need to examine both smartphones in detail - after all, a businessman will probably choose one model, and a student another. And price does not play a fundamental role here.

CPU

The iPhone 5s uses the Apple A7 processor, which is much more productive and energy-efficient than previous models. But, oddly enough, it was manufactured by Samsung. The technology used was the same as for the processor for the Samsung Galaxy S4. Therefore, logically, it should be somewhat inferior to the more advanced Samsung A5. But…

The Koreans used the Snapdragon 410 processor from Qualcomm in the A5. Both processors have a 64-bit architecture and a similar frequency, but in terms of overall performance the A7 is slightly superior to the “Korean”, although it has as many as 4 cores, while the “American” has only 2 cores. The L1 cache size of the A7 is larger, so here it is presented in a more favorable light compared to its competitor. Graphics performance is approximately the same, but in terms of games, you should probably still give preference to the A7.

But some features allow the Snapdragon 410 to work with 3G communications at higher speeds, which gives it a certain advantage.

operating system

The eternal struggle between Western iOS and Asian Android is already becoming the talk of the town, but it’s still worth comparing.

In terms of the availability of applications for both systems, you don’t have to worry - enough software has been created for them, however, the AppStore application store for iOS is very convenient, no doubt. But for Android, at your own peril and risk, of course, you can use any source, there are no restrictions, and this is a huge plus. It’s also easier to upload media through “Andryusha”.

In general, it was created for freedom lovers who believe that the user should be the master of his smartphone. And they are right.

In addition, in terms of communication, the use of cloud storage and navigation maps, Android is also superior to its Western competitor.

But iOS has higher security, which is not surprising, of course. In general, the choice here depends more on the owner’s personality type and his views on things.

Memory

But here the iPhone is clearly lagging behind - the fact that you can’t install a microflash drive is already enough. No, you can connect external media, but it is inconvenient.

True, the built-in memory, depending on the modification, of the iPhone 5s is much higher, from 16 gigs to 64 gigs. Samsung has only 16 gigs, but you can install a flash drive up to 64 gigs. But, in any case, this is 80 gigs in total, and the iPhone has a limit of 64 gigs.

The RAM in the iPhone 5s is 1 gig, and in the Samsung it is 2 times more. This often evens out their chances when running some games.

Battery

The battery of the Samsung A5 is more powerful and capacious - 2300 mAh and lasts for 15 hours of talk time, while the iPhone 5s has 1560 mAh and lasts only 10 hours, just like when surfing the web. Although both of these should be quite enough.

You can listen to music on a Samsung for 68 hours, and on an iPhone – 40 hours. Quite a lot too. In the video, the Korean lasts for 12 hours, and the American for 10 hours.

In standby mode, both last up to 10 days.

Both smartphones have non-removable batteries, which is, of course, a minus, but soon this will be the case in all modern models. It's worth getting used to.

But the above indicators are relevant for new batteries, and over time, the operating time naturally decreases. A lot also depends on the volume and brightness level.

Display

iPhone 5s is equipped with a 4-inch Retina display, with a resolution of 1136 x 640p, multi-touch support (simultaneous touching at several points) and an oleophobic coating that prevents fingerprints.

The Samsung A5 has a 5-inch Super AMOLED with a resolution of 1280x720p, which already gives it an advantage. In all other respects there are no big differences.

Camera

Here Samsung is again ahead of its competitor - the main camera is equipped with a 13 megapixel module, and the front camera is equipped with a 5 megapixel module. For comparison, the American has 8 megapixels on the main one and only 1.2 megapixels on the front camera. Not impressive at all...

No, the iPhone, in this regard, has additional features and shooting features, but the number of megapixels is still important.

Sensors

Here the iPhone is a more sophisticated thing, and in addition to the compass, accelerometer, proximity sensor, GLONASS, GPS and A-GPS systems that Samsung has, it has a built-in fingerprint scanner (Touch ID), a gyroscope and an ambient light sensor.

Life time

At the moment, the warranty for all Apple products is given for no more than 3 years, just like for Samsung. Therefore, this indicator is not so significant. But, popularly, Apple devices are considered more reliable in this regard.

Design

The Korean Galaxy is made in a metal case (for the first time), which at that time provoked a surge in sales. It looks really stylish and the color range is expanded: black, gold, white and blue.

The case is monolithic - you cannot remove the battery. Well, what’s the point anyway – if they’re not sold separately? Alas…

There is a carriage on the side - you can fit 2 SIM cards or a SIM card and a microflash drive there. It's a pity that there are only two slots.

The iPhone has an aluminum body and three possible colors: black-gray, white and gold. The size is slightly smaller than the Samsung, and it looks a little thicker.

But, to be honest, Samsung's elegance is achieved by rounding the edges, and the thickness itself is slightly less. Moreover, due to the cut edges, the Samsung often slips out, although a person with the “right” hands usually does not have such problems.

Price

The price of the iPhone 5s depends on the model, or more precisely, the size of the built-in memory:

• 16 GB – 20,000 rubles (average);
• 32 GB – 35,000 rubles (average);
• 64 GB – 40,000 rubles (average).

But prices for Samsung A5 range from 12,000 rubles to 20,000 rubles - which is much more profitable than Apple prices.

Conclusion

So, what did the comparison between the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy A5 lead to? Despite all the visible advantages of Samsung, the choice is not easy. After all, the iPhone, be that as it may, is considered a more reliable technology. This is a time-tested brand. He had no incidents similar to the summer explosions of Samsung. It prevents users from installing pirated software and media. Although anyone who really wants it will find an opportunity.

An iPhone is a good phone and a status that not everyone can afford. Many will say that these are just “show-offs”, but they cannot be called cheap...

But Samsung is more affordable and easy to use. No hacking required - just take it and install what you want. This is a free right of any user. No one will say that music and software must be downloaded from the official copyright holders. Broken? Drowned? Accidentally crashed? It’s not such a pity - the price is quite affordable, and the quality is almost as good as its more expensive opponent.
