Samsung Galaxy A5 is the product of a South Korea-based multinational company, which was founded on March 1, 1938, by Lee Byung-chu at Daegu, South Korea.
Samsung is the largest mobile company in South Korea and one of the most popular mobile phone companies in the world has produced many phones of different specifications and price. This Electronics company is recognized not just because of their phones but also various electronics equipment, Samsung is the first company to produce an Android tablet in 2010 and has continued to produce devices and other electronics of a high rating.
In January 2017, Samsung released two flagships like phones Samsung Galaxy A5and A7 as the newest member of the A-series smartphone. I call these phones flagship like devices because they are mid-range phones with the specification of Flagship phones. Although these two phones were released simultaneously; and look so much alike they are different.
Samsung Galaxy A5(2017) Review, Specification, and Price in Nigeria
I wonder why Samsung produced phones with this particular name with different features. Appearing first in 2014 towards the end of the year and later 2016 pushing in some new features and finally now in 2017 with even greater features.
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)is one of the two latest A series device, though when the first A series device was launched in 2015 we thought it was only for an experiment on how metal phones are going to look like because it was the first metal smartphone Samsung designed, or just experiment for the S-Series.
The A series look so much like the S-series so it’s easy to reach this conclusion but Samsung has proven us wrong right from the start and they are still standing to show us how the A series is not for experiment but another series on its own with specifications of the flagship devices at mid-range prices, I think the reason for this smartphone series is so the everyone can have access to Samsung alluring devices even without emptying your pocket.
A5 (2017) is a strong device packed with great and eye-catching specifications filling up the specification that is only seen in a flagship device, this A5 device has surpassed its predecessor in so many ways. Samsung makes sure this A7 looks so much like the 2016 flagship phone “Samsung Galaxy S7” but don’t be confuse and deceive they are different. Likewise, the A7 and A5 looks so much alike just that the A7 comes with a bigger screen.
