If there is positioned mid-range, the Galaxy A5 new vintage has little ashamed to face the latest mobile flagships all brands. For its part, the P9 embodies the vision 2016 of the photo and design in a Huawei that never stops growing in the smartphone sector. These two amazing smartphones in many respects have the same format and compete here in a duel without thank you.

| SCREEN: SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 |
One like the other, the Galaxy A5 and P9 offer a Full HD screen of 5.2 inches, a definition 1920 x 1080 px for a diagonal of 13.2 cm and thus necessarily an identical display fineness of 423 pixels per inch. A widely sufficient density to provide a beautiful reading experience on any type of content (text, photo, video, game, web). Thereupon impossible to separate the two oddballs.
This is by examining the reports, overall and in detail, of the screens that we then can see clearer and award clearly the Galaxy A5 palm the most beautiful display of this duel. It combines already an almost infinite contrast and give a abyssal black – thank you slab Super Amoled – an excellent maximum brightness of 437 cd / m², but also has a contained light reflectance (10%) and of a color term among the most loyal in the industry. The tariff and strategic positioning should not betray GA5 display capabilities, making it today one of ever-present residents of our Top 5 mobile screens.
P9 may well not not wanting ashamed to face this fact and it may in part because its IPS LCD touch screen has a picture of very good quality but a lower share in all respects to that of Samsung terminal and secondly … down compared to that of his predecessor P8. All this however does not erase beautiful display qualities as a very good color rendering and a decent contrast.
| GETTING STARTED: SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 |
At first glance, difficult to really detach a winner on handling, design, ergonomics between the Galaxy A5 and P9. Indeed, both smartphones offer more or less the same compactness, including a screen of 5.2 inches which occupy in both cases a little less than 73% of the front surface, among the best ratios in the market and, example, well above any Apple iPhone that revolves more around 68% of surface occupancy by the screen. Comprehensive measurements reveal similar smartphones and a nice grip in both cases. May prefer Samsung does one side the position of the physical buttons on the right side edge, a bit more accessible naturally. In the case of the fingerprint reader, so each product is provided, we are faced with two ergonomic schools: Samsung continues to place the reader in the main before physical button when Huawei places on the back to fall within the index. Everyone will appreciate or not these positions based on their habits, but P9 forces still have to seize the object when placed on a desk and that one wishes just quickly check your notifications at once look. A little frustrating.
Ray finishes and construction, everyone has the same “noble” materials, as we said today on the mobile market. Glass and metal in all, each in different proportions: a full aluminum structure adorned with a few windows on the P9, when the Galaxy A5 does more friends with the glass then the circle of a few alu. In short, two beautiful objects, which take under control. But then, there’s the rub for the latest flagship Huawei is that its overall temperature tends to rise on some usages pushed as the photo or the game to reach 40 ° C over much of the mobile. If the temperature drops very quickly, it’s still a shame to positioning level product.
(slight) preference is therefore to Huawei for this, because its interface Emotion UI 4.1 is always refreshing and improving update after update, but also because the manufacturer Chinese leaves more easily and naturally the choice to the user to switch to alternative application launchers – and themes to change the look of the OS on many points. EMUI did indeed has not, in essence, to the apps menu itself but used as iOS from Apple, all of the mobile home pages to aggregate software. We also assess the use of the fingerprint reader on the back of P9 as a navigation tool in the OS (backspace, management of multitasking, photo taking …) with ergonomics most instinctive time.
Excellent headphone output, clear and sufficient loudspeaker behavior exemplary game with a constant flow and a graphical rendering that flatters a minimum retina … P9 undoubtedly knows to honor the media.
| PHOTO: SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 |
The Galaxy A5 is never far behind the best camera phones on the market, especially through effective optical stabilization in photo as video – P9 has none but ensures, too, a good video with digital stabilization. P9 is not is not necessarily a partridge of the year in low light – except the monochrome unit – and the Galaxy A5 exceeds in the field. More accurate (thank you optical stabilization) and less biased towards red, it offers a more faithful rendering when the brightness down. Only his front sensor for portrait proves less precise and effective than the P9, which also offers better resolution (5MP to 8MP A5 and Huawei). In shutter speed and registration of picture information, Galaxy A5 and P9 play in the same court: reactive behavior, which is consistent with expectations of a camera phone that can unsheathe at any time to capture in a flash ‘eye.
Without reaching the successive levels of excellence set by the high standard range Galaxy S6 and S7 Galaxy, P9 knows how to be worthy of the expectations of a basket of the top smartphone in many areas. Its dual camera module system to a smart and promising concept proposed in conjunction with Leica, with one of only two monochrome modules and acting as well as support to improve basic picture-taking color (colorimetry more alive, more light) than single tool to make real images in black and white. Never seen in the mobile market. Too bad that in low light, it loses a little north and hosts a bit too noisy and reddish atmosphere. An unusual and often powerful NPC, which sometimes requires that we put a little hands dirty to extract high-flying shots. Its monochrome mode will address probably a small number of users, but it will emerge conquered.
| AUTONOMY: SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 |
Huawei has made undeniable progress on the overall optimization of its mobile and endurance, even if P9 still some areas to improve in terms of strength load, including video games and picture. The P8 was not top of the class in the matter, but the P9 regilds the crest of the series, not without benefit, it must be remembered, of a net surplus of battery capacity. So it can take a good day and a half without lurch to the user on a common use. But face a Galaxy A5 who suffers no competition at present? The range of Samsung environment, without really making huge concessions on intrinsic capabilities, manages to provide a means of running two full days without measuring its digital craze and an additional half-day painkiller use . In video, same story, since it expires just before 18h of loyal service! An endurance monster will then need only a little over 60 minutes to refuel.
| VERDICT: SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 |
The Galaxy A5 is a smartphone midrange, P9, he targets the high-end, but this is the first who wins, finally. Why that ? Just because Samsung, in addition to being better in most areas than its competitor of the day, wins the battle on points that we find essential: the display quality, photo and especially autonomy. For other sections, the Huawei P9 never really beats the Galaxy A5 soundly. It remains a very good proposal for the high end “affordable”. However, the Galaxy A5 is meant to complete and often among the best smartphones on the market without distinction range of a few key features, all at least € 400.
