- Best A Series Ever Made
From all the Samsung phone I own, this is probably the one I love the most. I like its size and the feature it have in such a compact and solid package. At that time, it was probably the best phone at its price range. During its release, it carry such a special feature that other manufacturer doesnt have on that price range, which is the ip68 waterproof.
I like how it feel. Its thin, solid and comfortable to hold. The size is perfect for me because I hate big screen like phone nowadays even though I have a big hand and long finger. The screen and the camera are the most interesting, camera quality is really good, I trust my phone to take reliable pictures.
On the video recording, its good enough. I just hope that it have a fancy feature like optical stabilization.
Screen is nice, the colour shines since it has an Amoled display. But unfortunately the audio is just mediocore quality, no stereo speaker, its kinda quiet. But dont worry, the sound quality is still great and I really love the speaker posisitioning.
On the performance I cant tell too much. On gaming, the chipset is kinda struggling. For everyday task, I have no words.
Battery life was unreal, it is soo power efficient. I don't need to worry to carry my charger around.
Overall, I really like it. I like the size and the build quality remembering how compact it is. I'm really satisfied with this phone.Pros- Ip68

View answers - Battery after almost 2 years is a straight joke.
Phone is very well built, but glass back broke after fall from 30 cm on a wooden floor. Glad it has IP68, love it, but surely design is a bit outdated now. Absolutely awesome AMOLED display, reliable fingerprint unlock. Cameras are OK, but nowhere near good, daylight needs HDR, otherwise something is blown out or too dark, night shots are just simply impossible. Problems start when there are clouds, and if you want a decent photo in a dark room, not plain black, just little bit darker than a stromy weather is like, you simply can't get it, same with indoor shots helped only with ceiling lamp. Connectivity is good, overall hardware(except battery and that camera) is on point, just enough for normal use, and it has USB-C, which was not that obvious back at its release. Speaker is weak and uncomfortable to hear, but will do for YT chatting shows or sth.

It has a nice, premium look, water resistant and has a very good build quality. Battery performance is avarage.
But, it's very laggy and sometimes intolerably slow! You have to wait 3-5 seconds for a simple "share" option to appear, or make a call! Espacially, when you unlock the phone, you have to wait seconds to do any operation!
It's a nice box with weak hardware! I do not recommend!- 2.8

View answers - It's a great battery life and medium performance for a fair price
It's a beautiful design. It seems to be a high end cell phone, but with a medium performance. For normal users this will not be a problem, because it handles almost all apps you may use. The battery deserves a reward.

Score
In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:
- Design and screen
- Hardware and performance
- Camera
- Connectivity
- Battery
Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.
Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.
The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
