Many people have been waiting for Samsung to introduce some smartphones with a more premium build, and the A series was designed with that in mind. The phones feature a metallic frame and one of them is the Galaxy A5 that released towards the end of last year. If you’re considering purchasing this handset and enjoy mobile gaming you might like to check out a Samsung Galaxy A5 gaming performance review that we’re sharing today.

Key specs of the Samsung Galaxy A5 include a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor, Adreno 306 graphics, and 2GB of RAM. It runs the Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system out of the box.

We won’t give all the results here, as you might prefer to find out when you watch the review.
