- Analysis by KJ David
Despite mimicking the Samsung Galaxy Alpha's full metal unibody casing, the Galaxy A5 does not appear to reach flagship heights. Instead, it settles for a more modest 1.2GHz quad-core engine with 2GB worth of RAM -- the Alpha runs on a split octa-core processor. The lack of 4K video-recording capability was also quite a setback, though its 13- and 5-megapixel cameras are slightly more capable compared to the Alpha's 12- and 2.1-megapixel cams respectively. Its 16GB native storage as well as the up-to-64GB memory expansion support were also quite appreciable. From the looks of it, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is an Alpha-inspired model within a cheaper price range, which might have been Samsung's plan to begin with.
