design
in terms of design both devices are two “premium” products with an aluminum body (S6 a bit ‘more rounded at the edges), nice finish and with a form factor pretty much the same; Galaxy S6 to his advantage has a more limited thickness (6.8 mm vs. 7.3 mm) and weighs less (138 grams vs 155).

the two models use the same technology for the rear camera that fact has an aperture F / 1.9 lens, optical image stabilizer, autofocus, LED flash but the size of the sensor is different: 13 megapixels for Galaxy A5 in 2016 and 16 megapixels for Galaxy S6 and this eventually results in more detail in the photo.
S6 is also capable of recording video in 2160p Ultra HD format , while the A5 2016 stops at most canonical 1080p video.
the front camera dedicated to Selfies is quite similar between the two products, 5 MP, f / 1.9, although that of S6 has a few more options more and is slightly better in some hardware issues.
