Step 8: Don’t do anything during the flashing process. Once it gets completed, you will see the green “ PASS” message as shown in the screenshot below. Step 9: Now unplug your device from the computer. But when you try to boot your device normally, it will get into a boot loop. To fix this error, switch off your smartphone and boot into the “ Recovery” mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons simultaneously. The Galaxy A5 also has a comfortable 32GB of storage, and a microSD card slot to let you add to it (with cards of up to 256GB). Design and display Versions: A520F (Europe, Global Single-SIM); A520F/DS (Global Dual-SIM); A520K/L/S (South Korea). Also known as Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Duos with dual-SIM card slots Network The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) (or Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 Edition) is an Android smartphone. It was announced on January 2, 2017, along with Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017). This move marks Samsung's first product launch since the discontinuation of the Galaxy Note 7 in October 2016. [1]

Similarly, its rear camera is worse than that of the many 12MP models around today, and also worse than some of the very best 13MP ones. Much cheaper phones use similar-quality hardware. Motorola’s Moto G4 Plus is also a much better deal in the “tech per dollar” stakes. As usual, Samsung charges what it can for the Galaxy A5, rather than trying to squeeze in as much as possible. The phone’s graphics performance is somewhat less impressive. Running GFXBench’s onscreen Manhattan 3.0 test it gained an average frame rate of 14fps, which is 33fps fewer than the OnePlus 3T scored. Sure, it wasn’t so bad in practicality. I found Sky Force: Reloaded ran with minimal hiccups, even when there was lots going on on-screen, but you need to bear in mind how the phone will perform not just with the games of today, but also those released two years from now when you’re coming to the end of your contract. Then, things may well not look quite so rosy. Step 3: Now you will see a “ Warning” message as shown below. Just press the “ Volume Up” key to continue. Not everyone quibbles about every pound/dollar as much as we do, though, and for the most part the Samsung Galaxy A5 is a joy to use. The screen’s great, the battery life commendable, the size of the little guy accessible, and while the power on tap isn’t all that impressive, there’s enough to stop the phone seeming underpowered.

If you have installed the USB drivers of your device properly in the Windows computer, Odin will automatically identify your device and will show a “ Added” message in the “ Log” section. That’s a chunk more expensive than the 2016 version of the Galaxy A5, but the phone comes with a few important feature upgrades too, like water resistance. Samsung describes the design as “uniform all round”, and that’s on the money. The rear glass curves into the metal sides for a smoother feel too. Its glass is Gorilla Glass 4 rather than Gorilla Glass 5. It’s very tough, but where version five is designed to handle drops from shoulder height, version four is tested at 1 meter, or roughly waist height.

Just look at the spec list of the Samsung Galaxy A5 and it may seem to have more features than last year’s Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S7. Tech obsessives can do better, but those who simply want a ‘nice’ phone that seems like a fairly high-end piece of hardware will appreciate the A5’s style. The 2017 Galaxy A5 launched in January 2017, a year after the 2016 Galaxy A5 appeared. Much like the Galaxy S series, the mid-range A phones have started to appear annually, and more reliably than the average train. Meet in the mid-range
