Samsung S5 or Samsung A5 (2016)

Tavreth

So I'm looking into getting a new phone and I've narrowed it down to the Samsung galaxy s5 for $160 or a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) for $200. I'm not very wise when it comes to phone but I know they're both decent. So which one do you think I should get?

Chinese brand?

In China's smartphone fans "club" we say Oppo and VIVO is a IQ-testing brand and HUAWEI has no respect for it's customers.

If you really want to try a Chinese phone brand just go buy a Xiaomi or OnePlus

They're the best
