I was very happy to test the Samsung A5 2017 gold. I was about to buy a new phone, but I couldn't see the wood for the trees with all those many types of phones. I had never owned a Samsung before so this was the perfect opportunity to experience Samsung. First of all, the phone was packed super chic in a white box complete with headphones, USB-C cable (for accelerated charging) and there was a kind of adapter plug that you put on an old charger so that you can also charge faster. What I found ideal is that I the Smart Switch feature was able to transfer everything (contacts, apps) from my old phone to the A5. The phone itself looks very chic, several people also told me this is an S-series device. It fits comfortably in the hand, and as a woman I can also reach all buttons if I hold the phone in one hand, there is possibly a possibility to reduce the screen so that you can reach everything. The big advantage of the A5 is that it is dust and waterproof. What I also like is the function that you can always read the time and date and the icons of apps that you receive in a color you choose on your main screen when it is locked. Compared to my old phone, the battery lasts a very long time, which is very important to me, it should last at least the whole day. The device has a 16 megapixel camera and a 16 megapixel selfie camera, and takes razor-sharp photos. And enough space because there is 32MB of memory, which you can expand by up to 256GB. Display has very nice sharp colors. Another great option is logging in via the fingerprint sensor, never having to enter your login password again. And no one can just log into your phone. As you can hear, I am very satisfied with the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and can recommend it to everyone, a very complete device and a favorable price.

What a phenomenal smartphone the new Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 has become, read here why.
When opening the packaging, it is immediately apparent that this device is not inferior to a smartphone from the most expensive segment. I chose the color sand/gold, a beautiful champagne-like golden color that stands out. The device has an aluminum housing and both the front and the back of the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 are made entirely of glass and there is even a fingerprint sensor. All this gives the device a premium look and feel, beautiful! In the box you will of course find all the accessories you need, such as the 220V adapter, headphones and the special USB-C cable. With the new USB-C cable you can charge this device faster, great! This device really has everything on board that you can expect and even more. The Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 is even waterproof!
Time to put this bad boy to the test, so immediately charged the device with the USB-C cable, as promised, this went very quickly. I was up and running in no time. Starting up the phone went smoothly, even transferring my contacts and apps from my old phone was very easy with smart switch, a super handy function! The phone is very nice in daily use, takes beautiful pictures, is very fast (even with the heavier games), the battery lasts a long time, the sound is good, it has a beautiful design and a wonderfully beautiful display. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable smartphone that is certainly not inferior to its more expensive competitors!
After using this device for a full week, I can conclude the following;
I am in love with Samsung Galaxy A5 2017!
