Phone recommendation

[Android Central Question]

Hi guys !
I currently own an iPhone 5s Silver 16GB with 3 cases, fullbox and I would like to exchange it for a Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 fullbox ?
Is it worth the upgrade ? I want a budget around 200$ maximum.

A lot depends on what country you are in. For instance, in the US you can get quite a lot of phone for $200 or less by getting an Amazon Prime Edition.

Sure enough the A5 would be an upgrade over the 5s, but you might get even more updated on the OS by shopping around.

Hello !
Thanks for the reply !
I am looking forward for a 4.7 or 5.2 inch screen and decent performance (no stutter)
and Stable Android version
What would you recommend ? Also I am from Romania.

Well I am from Romania and I would like a decent Samsung flagship
A5 2016 looks okay for me

If you really like Samsung then the A5 is nice...

How do you feel about Moto? The G5 could get you to Oreo and the Moto track record for updates has been great lately. Better than Uncle Sammy's. Similar spec and Moto G5 is going about $200.

Camera and screen would be the major differences. I'm an LCD guy for sunlight readability (Moto), although many like the saturation of AMOLED.

If it were me, I'd look at camera samples to help me decide. But the more up to date OS and likelihood of more and faster security fixes sways me toward Moto.
