The real ko criterion for me is the camera. It was not only reasonably acceptable photos (in the room in the daylight) to shoot. All photos look blurry, especially objects that are farther away. This is not intentional blur effect, but appears as a lack of image stabilization. A function to de- this / activation can be found in the menu in vain. The photos outdoors in daylight go in order, even though the Samsung was already better. The highly acclaimed front camera for Selfies could not convince me. Photos are very blurred and here you have to have more luck that immediately succeeds a decent photo and no blurring appears.
Conclusion:
Those looking for a stylish Smartphone and main focus lies only on the design and the price / performance does not matter, can feel comfortable with the Galaxy A5. For those looking for a smartphone with a good camera, I can not recommend it. Therefore, only two stars, Schade Samsung .......
