Hey Linus! I just wanted to say that your videos are great quality and I really appreciate them. I used a lot of your videos to decide what phone I should get. I went for the A5 2017 since it's pretty cheap in The Netherlands and it has great great GREAT quality. Your videos were really helpful, so thank you!! ❤
i've been using this phone (A5 2017) for 3 weeks.. so far i'm impressed by the quality for a mid-range phone.. the only lacking for the previous version is OIS.. overall i'm pretty satisfied for the quality and price
im using galaxy a5 2017 for almost 2 weeks now and I can say im really satisfied. This is a great phone for people who have a lower budget. though lack of OIS kinda sucks. but overall i really love it.
I've had both (currently got s7 edge) and there's no comparison in my opinion. The quality is much better. The haptic feedback crisp and sharp, the feel of the phone, the better clarity, screen etc etc. You know you've stepped the game up. A5 2017 is a great phone but the s7 edge is pure class. I've also had the s8 plus which I didn't like due to the fingerprint scanner and ended up just using a pin instead. Sold it and got this (s7 edge). Much better phone. The smaller bezel is nothing but a gimmick and hardly utilised by 3rd party apps. N I won't even bother mentioning Bixby. Absolute load of useless rubbish.
You make very good videos, your latest ones are of more quality in picture, and graphic animations. Really enjoy them. Yet one problem i found in this video and maybe 1-2 more recent ones was that when you show video samples of S7 edge and A5 2017, both the videos stutter on the horizontal pan which is not the real case of the original video. My guess would be that it has something to do with your editing. Might be wrong of course. Keep it up! Also regarding the two phones being compared, i think the flagship model, will win always. Maybe not the best on every aspect, but all around i think is the better choice, especially the cameras.
thanks a lot! As for the video quality, it may be the RUclips's processing fault, it looked great when I was editing. Not sure why this keeps happening.
Yes, i don't know either why this happens. Just took a guess by saying editing. I guess RUclips works in mysterious ways. But the only thing for sure is that these phones shoot videos, that don't stutter at all during Panning.
Thanks Linus delivered as promised. You are the bomb of youtube for phone freaks. Love the outro good stuff happening here. About the phones I guess they just toned down the A5 not to eat up S7 edge sales since the Note7 was an an explosive device, literally meaning that they only had one flagship device last year.
essentially. inferior camera,not as good processor, better battery, missing LED notification and built in fm radio software (nextradio strangely doesn't work I tried when I had it)
Hi Linus, i hope you will make a comparison between A5 2017 and J7 2017 that will be released soon.. i almost got the A5 but held the horses because lots of reviews saying that the front camera pictures are out of focus.. thank you in advance! Cheers from Spain 😊
Hi Linus, sorry i meant J5 2017, as it will be sold for €280 and more suitable for my budget 😄.. it has the same specs as the J7 anyway, only J7 is bigger.. The J series also got android 7 while A5 only 6😐... btw, is the A5 front camera quality really annoying? Im not a selfie person but having the option of decent camera is always good right? if you think we can eventually live with it, i might as well just buy it..
Linus, I don't see the sense of such comparisons. A midranger to a top shelf? Why didn't you try compare the 2016 model to 2017? Especially the cameras, as 2016 has a great one. Don't get me wrong. Camera comments in relation to S7, which has best cam on the market are OK, but going deeper doesn't make much sense.
So I'm a bit late to the party but I wanted to chime in anyway. First off, great video. Let's move on to discussion. A5 2017, is a fantastic mid-range offering from Samsung. Though certain compromises were made, it retains premium build quality and well-rounded flagship features. Performance wise, it gets the job done, navigating menus & apps is fast and fluid. Gaming on medium to high settings on graphically intensive games works like a charm, some minor frame drops, stutter and slowdown occur from time to time but it plays games really well. Camera is a bit of a let down but the front facing 16mp is a nice addition. For a midrange phone, 3GB of RAM, coupled with a 1.9ghz Exynos is more than enough to see you through your multitasking and gaming needs. Graphics card is decent as well. The S7E is still the better phone, it's a flagship and far more well-rounded. That being said, if your budget can't shift too far from the A5's price point, I'd recommend looking up the OnePlus 3T or Samsung S6 (Still a great phone).
OFF: You seem to make great reviews even though your subscriber count is so small. You definitely deserve more subscribers. ON: No doubt the S7 Edge is better than the A5 2017.
Will the S7 get an update for the fingerprint scanner? I mean it's just a little silly to push the home button every time i want to unlock my phone with a fingerprint
A5 is for people who dont want spend too much money but want a flagship design and features . But for me i own screen cracked S7 edge and planning to sell it and buy A5 2017 since its really close with S7 , its cost $400 to repair the Screen but why not just get a A5 2017?
i have a dilemma, the a5 got the 16 mp front camera vs s7s 5mp, I understand by the video that the s7 is a overall better phone but Im going to take selfies to. which one should I take :S?
same problem here! I am looking for a phone And I can't decide between the A5 and the s7 (not edge) I am a big fan of making selfies dothats really important to me. a lot of people say the megapixel doesn't dat everything about a camera. but in real life In compared the two selfie camera's and the A5 was a lot better but IDK!! help me

Mewz/Benji oh, i can't stand the oneplus 3t... The wifi that keeps disconnecting, the fingerprint scanner that works 50% time, camera that can't focus on close up objects... And i could probably go on and on
Redskull dude.... where did you get it from? I got it from OnePlus official store. Fingerprint scanner is the best I've tested, wifi is excellent and I absolutely love this phone. The camera blows all Xiaomi 400-500 dollar phones out of the water... The software... the phone is just a lot faster than my gs7 edge....
I wanted to have a beauutiful and stunning design, great camera, great speed, android and Water and dust resistance in mid range price category. God listened to me and made Galaxy A5❤
price differences between them is 70 euro in Germany, s7 is expensive, now I am trying to determine that is it a good idea to give 70 euro more for S7? I think only thing that A5 lacks is optical image stabilization
That was very informative video. I am from Pakistan and want to buy A5 2017 bcz i cannot afford a flagship phone but i can afford a device with flagship qualities...

Nina Scott hey Nina! Thanks a lot for your kind words and support. I'm glad that I helped you decide! :)
Nina Scott really still idont decide to cell A5 & s7 edge but us i tjing a5 better then s7 im camera .
In the Netherlands a S7 Edge is still €600 and a A5 2017 €350 so the A5 is a smart decision.
Nina Scott you dummy
Nina Scott A5 (2017) or S7 or Note 5
Plz help me choose

thanks Daniel! Working hard to improve the channel. More mainstream devices are coming soon. Travelling to MWC Barcelona this year :)
Wow will be watching this channel to catch your vlogs, if you will have any and floor videos.
Daniel Esimu no answer ;/
Samsung A5 wonderful phone
Very nice comparison, Linus. your videos are getting much better lately. outro also nice.
thanks a lot Daniel!
Love your videos man! Top quality content, keep up the good work👍
thanks a lot!
A5 is the S7 without the super powerful camera. Love my A5 and how it was $500 cheaper
A5: Everything better except for Camera
S7: Better Camera
I'll get the A5 because i'm broke
Great work. I love the video quality and production work. Everything is so smooth.
Thank you so much for appreciating my hard work!
very honest review 👍
kemroy johnson thanks!
I prefer A5 2017!LIKE IF U AGREE
A5 2017 =Cheaper S7
essentially.
inferior camera,not as good processor, better battery, missing LED notification and built in fm radio software (nextradio strangely doesn't work I tried when I had it)
가부토TV yep
Mum broke her S7 and she was thinking of fixing it or buying the A5 which one do you think is better??
S7 is still a better phone but the A5 is a solid replacement too
Thanks for your help
Thanks! This review was very helpful.
you are welcome!
Thanks alot man...really helpful...🤘
Thank you very much!
can I ask what theme did you use on the Samsung galaxy s7 edge? it looks quite awesome:)
Hi Linus, i hope you will make a comparison between A5 2017 and J7 2017 that will be released soon.. i almost got the A5 but held the horses because lots of reviews saying that the front camera pictures are out of focus.. thank you in advance! Cheers from Spain 😊
pheebeindo i said the same! :) i will get the j7 in a week or so. stay tuned
Wow, such a speedy reply! Thanks again ☺️
pheebeindo no problem :) stay tuned
Hi Linus, sorry i meant J5 2017, as it will be sold for €280 and more suitable for my budget 😄.. it has the same specs as the J7 anyway, only J7 is bigger.. The J series also got android 7 while A5 only 6😐... btw, is the A5 front camera quality really annoying? Im not a selfie person but having the option of decent camera is always good right? if you think we can eventually live with it, i might as well just buy it..
good job dude. very well explained. i keep my eye's open 4 more video's. thx
thanks a lot! Many videos are coming next week :)
Cool 🤘
compare it to s6. they have about same price now
techline your voice made me tingle! 😄
please suggest me between a5 2017 and s6 edge..thank u..
They're very similar in design, and that's why I love both (watching this on my A5)
Thankyou so much of this video... you elaborate the points perfectly and make it a PERFECT and COMPLETE review.
thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked my video and tens of hours of work I put into it! :)
Linus, Could you advise me on which is better Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 vs S6 Edge?
I would take the Galaxy A5 for a much better battery life (the s6 edge's battery is a disaster). Also, for water resistance.
Thanks.
what is your honest opinion on the Samsung Galaxy A3 2017?
Richard De gannes a5 201 7 is better overall
Thanks Jamie
Very good review thanks !!
Thanks a lot!
Linus, I don't see the sense of such comparisons. A midranger to a top shelf? Why didn't you try compare the 2016 model to 2017? Especially the cameras, as 2016 has a great one.
Don't get me wrong. Camera comments in relation to S7, which has best cam on the market are OK, but going deeper doesn't make much sense.
The bad thing about Samsung A5 is...it doesn't have ois camera.
a very good review
please what is the theme on the s7 edge??
thanks!!
hi, thanks Brahim! It is the Google Now launcher. I'm not a huge fan of the Touchwiz (still no Nougat update for my s7 edge)
TechLineHD yes unfortunatly hahaha
Nice video bro but can u just tell me what is that launcher on your galaxy s7 edge (1:14 min)
nova launcher i guess
VD Studio no its grace ux pixel icons
Really the best comparison video(cant find any other video) I'm from India
thanks so much!

thanks for your input!
Man Im just confused to take A5 2017 (black) or s7 edge (silver) but the s7 edge is having small crack at the right edge plz help to know
Waleed Wael dont buy an edge with a minus condition go for a 5
OFF: You seem to make great reviews even though your subscriber count is so small. You definitely deserve more subscribers.
ON: No doubt the S7 Edge is better than the A5 2017.
Hey! thanks a lot for the support! I'm working hard on my videos every day and hopefully good things will happen
nice review sir now am using A5 2017 but i don't change my mind i will buy s7 edge on Friday ln shaa Allah s7 edge is the best Android phone
What is the mean of OIS?
Optical image stabilisation. It assures a better low-light performance, image stabilisation in video
should I buy the a5 or w8 for the new model that might have infinite display?
I doubt a midrange phone will get an infinity display.
TechLineHD welp in 2 years infinite display might just be standar for all samsung phones
You didn't mention FM RADIO MODULE on A5 2017!
forgive me
Where are you from Bud? My guess would be Finland..
I want a5 2017 mobile camera seting this display writing swipe to switch of this problem solution
Will the S7 get an update for the fingerprint scanner? I mean it's just a little silly to push the home button every time i want to unlock my phone with a fingerprint

why Instagram stories aren´t working on the galaxy a5 2017?? please help.
i have a dilemma, the a5 got the 16 mp front camera vs s7s 5mp, I understand by the video that the s7 is a overall better phone but Im going to take selfies to. which one should I take :S?
hey! Take S7 edge for sure. It takes better selfie pics and video. Don't care about megapixel count in this case!
okay! thanks :)
same problem here! I am looking for a phone And I can't decide between the A5 and the s7 (not edge) I am a big fan of making selfies dothats really important to me. a lot of people say the megapixel doesn't dat everything about a camera. but in real life In compared the two selfie camera's and the A5 was a lot better but IDK!! help me

S7 is a better phone and it has a better selfie cameras. Megapixels do not matter. Here is my comparison: ruclips.net/video/K6EMXmOd970/видео.html
Damn, i still don't have an outro... :) can't wait for that S8 so i can get rid of the oneplus 3t
Redskull why whats wrong with your current phone?
Mewz/Benji oh, i can't stand the oneplus 3t... The wifi that keeps disconnecting, the fingerprint scanner that works 50% time, camera that can't focus on close up objects... And i could probably go on and on

The camera blows all Xiaomi 400-500 dollar phones out of the water... The software... the phone is just a lot faster than my gs7 edge....
Redskull the camera is easily the best in the sub 400 phone. Took a lot of photos with the gs7 edge side by side.
TechLineHD i have the Chinese version, but running on Android 7... I don't know... But i haven't had the best experience with it
I wanted to have a beauutiful and stunning design, great camera, great speed, android and Water and dust resistance in mid range price category. God listened to me and made Galaxy A5❤
Matyáš Nazaretský God is here!
😃😃😃 That was great ! uhm but i was wondering Galaxy Note 4 or A5 ?😃
Great comparison
A5 is really good.
Amazing place u live in bro.
thanks !
For me s7 edge os better but the galaxy a5 (2017) is very good🙂
You can find Samsung A5 (2017) on eBay for $100, used with scratches. Mint condition used is about $200, and new is $300 - $400. ($US)
tq very much for that video. Now i can finally decide on which one to buy
I'm glad I helped you out!
can you do a speed test with these two phones?
Nice Video!
does the a5 have a better fingerprint scanner?
yes
you are the best RUclips
thanks man!
Love frome pakistan your voice and vadio is out class.love s7 edge
i'm done with Samsung, haven't get the Nougat yet
I worry about A5's camera, what about buying normal S7? Is A5's camera good?
S7's camera is much better
price differences between them is 70 euro in Germany, s7 is expensive, now I am trying to determine that is it a good idea to give 70 euro more for S7? I think only thing that A5 lacks is optical image stabilization
S7 is worth extra 70 eur
what's your opinion between Galaxy A5 2016- vs Galaxy A5 2017?
To those who have a money and can afford s7 edge, please don't disappoint us in buying a5...
a5/a7 or zte axon 7?
I love your review.
Thanks a lot!
Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks Linus 👍🏻😋😜
thanks man!
