MicroSD cards of up to 64 GB. The device's MicroSD card slot has been designed to allow insertion of a SIM card, and thus the A5 can also be used in Dual SIM

Software
The device runs on Google's 4.4.4 "KitKat" Android operating system out of the box, featuring the improved
Note 5
. This is considered to be the last major Android update for the phone, following Google and Samsung's 2-year software support policy.
