The year 2016 appears to successful time with Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy S7 impeccable almost impeccable A5. But the first is two times more than the second, and many people are wondering: “? Do I really need to put between 300 and 350 € more for a GS7″ Not necessarily.

on paper, the Galaxy S7 won without problem as the best two, its specs do not really leave room for doubt. However, in practice, our tests show that the Galaxy A5 is often close to the GS7, sometimes even better. Everything will then depend on the weight you place in each of the qualities highlighted by these smartphones. Between very good and excellent, the limit is thin, but between 350 and 700 €, it is the well-marked reverse.

We deliberately put aside the aesthetic appearance of both devices. We are not here to judge which is the best. Neither aircraft presents a major poor ergonomics or finish.

 
 



The Galaxy S7, strengths well pleasing

Buying a Galaxy S7 can be justified if your main criterion is the photo. Indeed, it has undeniable qualities in the field, with a speed unmatched autofocus and sufficiently detailed shots. The GA5 is not a bad camera phone, far from it. It remains a step below her cousin.

The return of the sealed (IP68) on the Galaxy S7 is another of its strengths. Do not agonize over taking a picture beside a pool or ocean is an advantage, especially when you consider the rate at which the aqueous medium can destroy a device so expensive. However, neither of the two smartphones this predisposition to withstand drops, so one should be careful.

high-flying mobile game lovers will, with S7, a chip Mali -T880 MP12 quite at ease. It provides a level of detail and fluidity that the most satisfying more modest Mali-T720 MP2 of GA5, although the latter still allows launching any title of the Play Store.
 

Finally, the GS7 has a screen resolution 2560 x 1440 px, against “only” Full HD (1920 x 1080 px) for the A5. In most cases, you will find only the fire, but the virtual reality enthusiasts will find their account with the display of the first. The GS7 is thus compatible with the Samsung Gear VR headset, unlike the Galaxy A5.

A more balanced Galaxy A5

Finally, if none of the points raised above is not predominant in the choice of your smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A5 will be a great option, especially if it is certainly less than the S7 on these points, however, it is never ridiculous. It should generally a majority of users seeking a smartphone capable of doing everything in a beautiful way, without being hindered by the fact that it is not “the best”.
Above all, the Galaxy A5 advance a strong argument: its extremely strong autonomy. Inevitably, that says less defined screen and lower power, increased endurance also said, at least in theory. In practice, the GA5 can accompany you during two days without begging for food, and that no particular concession. A performance that will not reach the Galaxy S7, at least limit certain energy-intensive uses.

The Samsung Galaxy A5 is currently the most interesting smartphone to below € 400 and given the ODR 50 € always running (for any purchase prior to March 31, see the conditions on the Samsung site), it is more than 350 €. For many people, the gap between € 350 and GS7 GA5 does not really justified in terms of contribution to real use.
