Will the A5 support OTG?
One of the gripes with the current A5 is that it doesn't support OTG.

look lioke the a7 2016 is better than the A8 now .... and releasing in china mid dec.

 

[Alexz_Hong]

the A7 looks really good. OIS, fingerprint sensor, 3GB RAM, 3300mah battery, fast charging. Not sure what processor it's using though, and i think most importantly will be the price.

Yes.. enough for me to use ithink, when will it be out ?

 

[Mancunian2]

is it in Singapore yet?

 

[Norman Chan]

I think the new A7 (2016) comes with 32 gb of internal memory will be good but think beside the 2015 A8 has 32 gb internal memory...the new 2016 A8 should also has 32 gb internal memory...

 

[IcYFl4mEz]

The problem is the price. Dk how much. And is a7 2016 better or a9? :S

Also this will be launching with Lollipop, which sucks cause A series probably won't be updated as quickly as higher end models. Marshmallow's SD card integration will come in really handy on a 16gb phone. Hope to hear more good news soon for SG market.
