The Galaxy
Design and Build
C7 Pro comes with a unibody metal design. It is a rectangular slab made out if aluminum alloy with curves on the sides and edges, giving it a great in hand feel. It has noticeable bezels on the top and bottom, thus, further increasing the footprint of the device.On the other hand, Samsung gave a refreshing look to A5 2017. Unlike C7 Pro, A5 2017 is mostly build using glass. A 2.5D curved Gorilla glass 3 is used to protect the display, and the rear part is carved out of a 3D Gorilla glass 4. The corners are well-rounded making it easy to handle the device with one hand. It is worth noting that A5 2017 is an IP 68 water/dust proof body. In a nutshell, A5 2017 got a flagship treatment from Samsung.
In terms of looks, both the devices look good but I personally liked the A5 2017 more than the C7 Pro. The smaller form factor may be another reason why the A5 2017 feels better in hand.
Display
While Galaxy C7 Pro sports a large 5.7-inch Super AMOLED Full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) screen with a pixel density of 386 ppi, A5 2017 rocks a relatively smaller 5.2-inch Super AMOLED Full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) display with a pixel density of 424 ppi. Bearing the screen size, both displays look strikingly identical.Performance and Storage
C7 Pro is powered by a brand newOn the storage front, C7 Pro packs 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage with an option to expand the storage via microSD card (hybrid slot) upto 256GB. A5 2017 comes with 3GB RAM ad 32GB internal storage that can be expanded via microSD card ( dedicated slot) upto 256GB.
Overall, the C7 Pro takes the lead in performance and storage segment due to its marginally powerful processor and an extra gig of RAM.
Camera
Both phones come with 16MP f/1.9 camera setup on the front and the back. A dual-tone LED flash assists camera on C7 Pro; whereas, a single tone LED flash supports the camera on A5 2017. We haven't thoroughly tested the cameras; however, we expect them not to differ my a considerable margin.Connectivity & Sensors
On the connectivity front, both devices support 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, GPRS, GPS/A-GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, Glonass, and USB Type-C for data transfer and charging. Both phones come with the same set of sensors: Fingerprint (front-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass.
Battery
C7 Pro is backed by 3300mAh battery, and A5 2017 comes with a slightly less capacious 3000mAh battery. Both devices come with fast charging support.Looking at the on paper battery size, both the smartphones should have a similar battery backup. One of my team member is using the Galaxy A5 2017 and is getting a decent battery life from it.
Availability and Price
A5 is available in two color options: Black Sky and Gold. It is currently selling for 28,990. C7 Pro is released in two color variants: Navy Blue and Gold. The device will go on sale from 11th April for Rs. 27,990.
