Ukunikezwa kokuqala kwalokho okuzoba ngenye yamabanga aphakathi enkampanini yaseNingizimu Korea kuqala ukutholwa ngesikhathi kulo nyaka olandelayo ka-2017. Kusobala kwividiyo emfushane ukuthi ukwakheka kwale divayisi kuhle futhi akungabazeki ukuthi kuzoba phakathi kokuhamba phambili ngonyaka ozayo, kepha idivaysi yangempela isazobonakala njengoba sikhumbula ukuthi lokhu kungukunikezwa.
Iqiniso ukuthi kulo nyaka i-Samsung iphumelele kakhulu nge-Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) yayo futhi kwenzeka okufanayo ngayo ngemodeli ka-2015. Empeleni, ukuphela kwalawa matheminali ngokuya nge-hardware kuyamangalisa futhi uma kuqhubeka kulo mugqa Qiniseka ukuthi bathola ingcosana enhle ngaphakathi kwamamodeli ebanga eliphakathi, ezingembalwa namuhla. Okwamanje, gqamisa imbobo ye-USB C ebonakala inaso ezansi kanye nokuba khona kwesipika ohlangothini olulodwa lwedivayisi, indawo ebonakala ingajwayelekile ukusho okuncane. Kunoma ikuphi izoba nosayizi wesikrini ofanayo njengemodeli yamanje ebangeni I-A5 futhi lokhu kungaba ngamasentimitha angu-5,2 ngezinyathelo eziyi-145 x 71 x 7,8 millimeters. Kokunye konke ukucaciswa kwangaphakathi kwezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha kuyinto ethile yokuqala ukusebenza kodwa kungenzeka lokho iprosesa lakho yi-Exynos 7880.
Imodeli yamanje ngokungangabazeki yinhle ekwakhiweni futhi lena nakanjani izoba ngcono kancane ngemiphetho eyindilinga nesiphetho esiphakeme ngengilazi nensimbi. Kukhulunywa ngesethulo senyanga kaDisemba nokuqala kokuthengiswa konyaka ozayo ngekota yokuqala. Kepha kufanele uqhubeke ubone amahemuhemu noma ulinde isimemezelo esisemthethweni esivela kubantu baseNingizimu Korea ukuqinisekisa izinsuku zokwethulwa nokwethulwa.
