The Galaxy A7 (2016) and Galaxy A5 (2016) are shockingly similar: both have the same stylish design, just differing slightly in terms of size as the A7 is the larger, 5.5" phone, while the A5 has a 5.2" display.
In terms of camera specs, the two are also identical: both have a 13-megapixel main camera with the same firmware version, the same, wide f/1.9 lens, both have optical image stabilization (OIS), and even the selfie cameras are the same, 5-megapixel sensors.
We were particularly curious to see if this similarity results in equally similar photos and how they compare against one of the best camera phones on the market, the iPhone 6s.
After shooting for a few days in various conditions with both new Galaxies, there is one key conclusion: the Galaxy A7 (2016) and Galaxy A5 (2016) have identical cameras. We could not find any meaningful difference in image quality between the two among all of our videos and images, so we'll just conclude that the A7 (2016) and A5 (2016) use one and the same camera.
And it's a pretty fast and good camera. The Quick Launch shortcut (double click the home screen) to launch the camera works wonders for those impromptu moments. The camera menu is the same as in the Galaxy S6 and Note 5: with no fluff and convenient separate buttons for video and image capture, as well as a comfortably placed in the bottom button to switch between the front and rear cameras.
