Smartphone Samsung GALAXY A5 SM-A500F: reviews, specs, descriptions and description

The subject of our review today will be the Samsung Galaxy A5 SM A500F, which will be reviewed at the end of this article. Even when the product of a South Korean manufacturer under the name A3 came out, many experts in the field of smartphones began to make their assumptions about what were the reasons for creating the appropriate line of devices. And we will try to understand what buyers can offer a smartphone Samsung Galaxy A5 SM A500F, reviews of which will be given at the end of the review.

Introduction

The model under the name A5 occupies middle positions throughout the corresponding product range. It will, of course, be better than A3. However, above the subject of our review today is the A7, which is equipped with a screen having a diagonal of 5.5 inches. In addition, the device has a built-in hardware that is much more powerful, which provides better performance in comparison with A5. In general, the seventh model can be equated to the booklet, which simply lacks a metal case and a stylus.

Samsung Galaxy A5 SM A500F, reviewed in this article, entered the market at a changed price, rather than the one that was planned during the development of the device. The reason for this was the change in the dollar. And this negatively affected the sales of the device. The fact is that it is much more profitable to purchase any previous model at a lower price. For example, the same Galaxy S4. There was a phenomenon of internal competition, with which the South Korean manufacturer is trying to cope now.

It is expected that by the end of the year the company will reconsider the prices of all its devices, which are part of the corresponding lineup. Exceptions are unlikely to be, they are not expected. But now, while the pricing policy has not been revised, the price of Samsung Galaxy A5 SM A500F DS (testimonials eloquently testify to this) is in some way illogical. It simply gets out of the segment. This kind of contrast is felt very well, and it should be said that hardware analogues in terms of sales prevail over the novelty.

Design

Surely you already noticed that the devices of the product line "A" of the Korean manufacturer have a similar design.

Colors

Reviews Samsung Galaxy A5 SM A500F Single Sim can be found at the end of the article, and we will add a couple of words about the combinations of the manufacturer's devices.

But we note that in this respect the device is similar to the A3 model.

Winning option

Perhaps, the optimal color design will be just white color. Why him? The fact is that it is pearly, not matte. That's why in the world he plays well enough. If you try to intentionally inflict physical damage to the body, then scratches will appear, it's a fact. But on white, they are not more difficult to detect than in other colors. At the same time, scratches will be generally invisible, unless specifically looked for them.

Conclusion

So, what about the subject of our review today? What are the advantages and disadvantages he has, and what is the opinion of the owners of the phone?

First of all, we note the features typical for the devices of the South Korean manufacturer. This, of course, is a good quality of communication. Not bad, we can even say that a very high-quality conversational speaker has a volume reserve. You can not complain about the purity of sound. Speech interlocutor is heard very, very well.

At the same time, the volume of the incoming call is not lame. You can be sure that you do not miss an important call even in a noisy environment. The radio part is executed qualitatively. Something similar to the S4 and S5.

Currently, the cost of the device is about 22-23 thousand rubles. The hardware is at the level, but there's still nothing to boast about. According to buyers, the price is still too high. The competition can be made by devices of the company "Apple". However, after all, they have a different price tag, so we do not need to compare them among themselves.

If you belong to an audience that does not want the smartphone to be made of plastic, you can try to purchase the device. Especially if you are not particularly interested in the specifications. But as such, the model is not very good. There are practically no differences from the devices of the previous season.
