According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/2014\/12\/04\/samsung-galaxy-a5-lands-on-russian-shores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sammobile<\/a>, the Galaxy A5, Samsung&#8217;s &#8220;premium budget&#8221; device, has just launched in Russia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing and Specs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy A5 will bear a price tag of RUB 23,990, or about $441 USD. That&#8217;s a competitive price for a device sporting a 5-inch, 720p Super AMOLED display. It boasts a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor that clocks in at at 1.2 GHz, in addition to 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of available storage. Adding additional space is possible, as the device includes an expandable storage slot. The device could also make a great &#8220;selfie cam&#8221; with its 13 megapixel rear-facing camera and the 5 megapixel front-facing clicker. This mid-range device has a smaller 2300 mAh battery, and the device will still run Android 4.4 KitKat. It&#8217;s unknown if or when it will receive the Android Lollipop 5.0 upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow Rollout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sammobile reports that production issues are to blame for the slow rollout of Samsung&#8217;s new all-metal devices. There has been no official word on when the Galaxy A5 will make it to the United Kingdom, United States, or other regions outside China and Russia, but <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_a5_makes_its_debut_in_russia-news-10395.php\" rel=\"noopener\">GSMArena<\/a> reports that it will be available elsewhere in Europe early next year. According to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/2014\/12\/02\/samsung-galaxy-a3-and-a5-priced-in-the-netherlands-expected-to-arrive-in-q1-2015\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sammobile<\/a>, both the Galaxy A5 and the smaller Galaxy A3 will be priced at EUR 410 ($503 USD) and EUR 310 ($380 USD), respectively, when they are released in the Netherlands early next year. The A3 has also been spotted on a Russian carrier website and is being offered in a variety of colors, which suggests that it may also be released soon.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited about the all-metal
