samsung A5 repair

[upup]

My phone drowned some time ago , samsung A5. Thy are asking me R2600 to fix it, it will mean a new screen and mother board.

Currently I am using the contract number in a Samsung S4, which works very well. Do you think I must stay on the S4, or spend the R2600 and have my A5 again.

Only use phone/ whatsapp / and a bit of internet.

thank you for good solid advise.

Well the S4 is a much better phone than the A5. Stick with the S4.

Download the ROM on xda to convert it the s6. That's an awesome ROM. Just can't recall name

I'd do this - only reasons I'd choose the A5 over S4 are as follows:

1) less lag - custom rom solves that
2) build quality - probably hidden by a cover anyway
