A 5.2-inch Super AMOLED screen is the standout here, pushing full HD resolution at 424 ppi for sharp, punchy visuals in a body that's just 7.3mm thick. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 615 chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, enough for everyday apps and browsing, with a microSD slot to add up to 128GB more if you need it.

The 13MP rear camera comes with OIS, a rare inclusion at this tier, which helps steady shots in lower light along with its f/1.9 aperture. A 2900mAh battery keeps things running through the day, and there's a fingerprint sensor plus Samsung Pay support built into the Gorilla Glass 4 back. Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM699.

It runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box and comes in Black, White, Gold or Pink, with dual SIM and LTE Cat6 support for buyers who want a compact, capable daily driver without the higher price tag of flagship models.
