Samsung Galaxy A5 review: a mid-range smartphone with high-end looks and feel

Samsung's mid-range 5in Android smartphone has the appearance of a top-of-the-range phone, and enough features and power to satisfy most

Samsung's new Galaxy A5 - the latest in its Alpha range - combines a sleek new design with decent specifications to create a compelling mid-range smartphone that looks much better than its competitors.

Pros: premium design and feel, light and compact for a 5in smartphone, thin, solid camera, decent battery life, microSD card slot

Cons: no removable battery, relatively low resolution screen, not the latest version of Android
