4.4/5Some modern app are not compatible due to Android version. The only downside is the battery capacity as phones in the A5 era had weaker specs compared to now. Regardless, it serves as a great work phone.

3.8/5When I opened the package, I found a black phone. However, I had clearly ordered a gold-colored phone. What do you propose as compensation?

2.5/5Extremely disappointed... I ordered a Galaxy A5 and received a Galaxy A3. No email notifying me of the change of reference. And a change of reference to a lower class. It's scandalous.....even the delivery note in the parcel specifies Galaxy A5... Today I can't find an equivalent to the Galaxy A5 for under £80 on Back Market and I can't return it because the delivery times are too long and I need a phone urgently... I just feel like I've been ripped off and robbed on a misleading sale. I hope to be contacted very soon by Back Market to find a quick solution.
