The Gaming Performance of Samsung Galaxy A5 2017: An In-Depth Review

In our latest review, we put the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 to the test to see how it handles demanding games. As we can see, the phone's performance is quite smooth, with only minor frame drops in Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5. However, I must note that this device may not be compatible with every game out there, so users should be aware of that before purchasing.

We started by playing Asphalt 8, a game known for its high graphics requirements. To test the phone's performance, we set the graphic settings to high and used on-screen steering to see how it would handle. As expected, the phone performed well, with only minor frame drops when performing sharp turns or drifting. The lag was almost negligible, allowing us to experience a seamless gaming session.

To further test the phone's performance, I decided to move on to Modern Combat 5, another demanding game that requires high-end hardware to run smoothly. Similar to Asphalt 8, we experienced some minor frame drops in this game as well, but overall, the phone performed well without any major issues or lag. This suggests that the Galaxy A5 2017 is capable of handling more than just casual games, making it a decent option for users who want to play demanding titles.

One notable aspect of the phone's performance was its ability to handle heat buildup. As we can see from the temperature readings, the phone remained relatively cool throughout our gaming session, with temperatures ranging from 36°C to 37°C. The ambient temperature in the room was around 29°C, and even when we were not actively gaming, the phone did not get too hot.

The thermal dissipation of the phone is also worth mentioning. Samsung has done a good job in ensuring that heat is distributed evenly throughout the device. Even on the sides and bottom of the phone, temperatures remained relatively low, with no signs of overheating. This suggests that the phone's design and cooling system are well-suited for gaming.

In terms of pricing, I feel that the Galaxy A5 2017 is overpriced in India. At its current price point, users may expect more aggressive discounts or promotions to make it a more attractive option. Nevertheless, despite its high price, the phone's performance is quite impressive, and it remains a decent option for users who want to play games on their mobile device.

For those interested in purchasing the Galaxy A5 2017, I would recommend keeping an eye out for deals or discounts that may bring the price down. While it may not be the best option for hardcore gamers, it is still a capable device that can handle more than just casual games. With its smooth performance and even heat distribution, the Galaxy A5 2017 is definitely worth considering for users who want to play games on their mobile device.

Full Temperature Readings:

* Front: 37°C

* Back (near camera): 37°C

* Sides: 36.5°C

* Bottom: 36.5°C

As we can see from the temperature readings, the phone remained relatively cool throughout our gaming session, with temperatures ranging from 36°C to 37°C. The ambient temperature in the room was around 29°C, and even when we were not actively gaming, the phone did not get too hot.

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017's gaming performance is quite smooth, but may not be compatible with every game out there. Despite this, it remains a decent option for users who want to play games on their mobile device, especially those who are casual gamers or looking for a more affordable alternative. With its good heat dissipation and solid performance, the Galaxy A5 2017 is definitely worth considering for users who want to enjoy gaming on their mobile device.

Molly act as you can see at T 830 GPU and this one is also clocked at 1.9 gigahertz like it's elder brother that's the Galaxy a7 the only thing is the screen size difference and as you can see this is having both Samsung's Exynos 7880 chipset so let's try some gaming and one thing that I noted is that not all games are compatible for example if we go to the Play Store I searched for no earthly because generally I do gaming review with that and as you can see Nova 3 was simply not being listed so because of the GPU some of the games I would say might not be compatible but again as you can see I did download quite a few games so let's serve a try at the gaming review and we'll also be checking the temperatures later on so this is dead trigger let's play this let's lava grenade Oh so they're going to be persistent too many let's love it in it there so as you can see it's playing this dead ringer fine but if your watch land boxing video if you had watched that unboxing video of mine you would have noticed that the speaker is in a very peculiar position on this one it's here at the top and I have to say the speaker volume is not very very loud it's just okay but simply not that loud yes I know it's water-resistant but the speaker volume should have been a little bit louder in my opinion so as you can see it's running this game's fine so let's just get out of this one and let's move to some heavier games now so this is implosion and as you can see it's running this game without any issues it's a high action game and as you can see I see no lag as of now even when there is a lot of action so I got something new so you'll have no good experience playing even this game so let's now move to asphalt 8 and see how it handles back 1 so this is explant 8 and let me actually show you the graphic settings we're going to play it at the high graphic settings and I'm going to use on-screen steering so this is asphalt 8 and we're going to play the Nevada level I'm going to use this on-screen steering trying to drift so some minor frame drop there but let's continue and see with multiple takedowns and only in the when we make these turns that I'm noticing some drop frames but apart from that it as of now as you can see it's playing it well where we saw the drop frame so yes there are some minor from drop frames but it's not like a deal breaker as of now you'll also be checking the temperatures to see if it exhibit any overheating as it's been over almost 10 minutes since we started this gaming session so far so good we did notice a minor frame drops earlier and you can see I'm flying all this and it's holding your theft then for the most part I would say it's not perfect I put the most part it's folding it fine so as you can see this level is almost done now so let's look at the temperatures the ambient temperature in this area is about 29 yet zhanna lanina let's see on the screen how much do we get so yeah as I told you I was not feeling the heat it's just going about 37 you could say around here thirty seven point seven that's almost 38 degrees here you could say and on the back let's look back is also very similar 37 near the camera let's look yeah 37 if we go to the sides so in terms of the thermal dissipation Samsung has done a good job the thing is that one thing I've noticed is that most of the phones actually get warm only in this area and the bottom area is a relatively cool but on this one the heat is spreading throughout the phone hence in particular area it's not getting very hot as you can see on the bottom also it's about thirty six point five to thirty seven degrees Celsius and even on the top it's around that so it's evenly distributing the heat so it is slightly one but not hot at all so now let's move out of this game and let's try modern combat 5 so this is modern combat 5 and let's see how handles this one I saw that lag over there for the rebirth so the most part it is fine but definitely I did notice some - brain drops here and there but let's continue so continuing as I mentioned Noah Tree was not compatible with this one so that you have to be aware some games might not be compatible with this one but overall explain this modern combat 5 then I won't say it's perfect because I did go to some framedrops so here and there well again guys what do you think about this phone at almost 29,000 I feel the pricing is just too high in India it should have been more aggressive so as you can see it's playing this game more or less fine without any issues major issues so let's look at the temperatures now and again as I told you the speaker is over here so accidentally if you just press it here it will block it completely so you have to be aware of that also so let's look at the temperature and again about 29 almost 50 over here and again in terms of thermal dissipation I am very happy it's just about 36.5 that we are seeing here is a 37 max and on the back also it does not feel very hot as you can see just around thirty six point five to thirty yeah thirty seven point five is the max that we are noticing so in terms of heat dissipation Samsung has actually done a very good job with this galaxy a5 2017 so what do I feel about the gaming performance of this galaxy a5 2017 in terms of gaming performance I would say it's perfect because we did notice some minor frame drops in asphalt 8 and even on modern combat 5 so yes it might a lot here and there in some few games but the thing is that this is not compatible with almost every game out there so overall I would say it's a decent device if you are sort of a casual gamer but if you are sort of a hardcore gamer then better options at this price point I'll also be posting the full in-depth review for this Galaxy a5 2017 edition so if you're not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for watching this is Ranjit and I hope to see you in my next videohi there this is Ranjit and I have the Samsung Galaxy a5 2017 edition and in this video we'll be doing the gaming review quite a few of you have asked me how does this one perform in gaming because it's having the Exynos 7880 chipset and it's having dr.
