Performance
Our Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 vs Galaxy A7 2016 comparison starts to take off as soon as we check out their performance specs. Both smartphones do not share any differences in terms of CPU cores and processor speed (both are armed with an octa-core 1.6GHz CPU). RAM-wise, though, the A7 and its 3GB of RAM rocket their way past the A5 and its 2GB of RAM. Both phones share a few more similarities, such as 16GB of built-in memory, an up to 128GB memory expansion limit, and Android 5.1 Lollipop operating systems. Having less-than-stellar specs, could this be the reason why these two phones did not make it to our list of 10 Best LG Smartphones as of 2016? Here are more comparison points:

Aside from the 1GB difference in RAM (the A5 has 2GB RAM and the A7 has 3GB RAM), we did not see much differences in their performance-related specs. The A5, with its smaller 5.2-inch screen, obviously gets a slightly-slimmer profile compared to the A7.
