Samsung Galaxy A5 price in Malaysia starts from RM789, putting it in budget territory built around a Snapdragon 410 chipset and 2GB RAM. That's enough for basic Android tasks but not much heavy lifting. The 5.0-inch Super AMOLED screen at 720 x 1280 is a highlight for the price bracket, giving punchier colours than the LCD panels common in this segment.
Storage comes in at 16GB, tight by modern standards, though the microSD slot takes cards up to 64GB. The 13MP rear camera with LED flash and 5MP front camera cover casual shooting needs without pushing into flagship territory.
Battery sits at 2300 mAh, which was already on the smaller side when this phone launched in December 2014. Nano-SIM, microUSB charging and a 3.5mm jack with noise-cancelling mic round out the package.
