Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) review
Introduction
Upper
mid-range smartphones are exciting. Traditionally, sub-flagship
smartphones haven't been getting as much love as they deserve; there
haven't been that many 'hero' devices to come out from the more
affordable ranks. Last year, we saw a good deal of spec-heavy handsets
that were built to attack the more affordable segments of the market.
Most of the time, though, those products were exactly that: heavy on
specs, but light on character – with generic features and boring
aesthetics.
