Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) review

The J5 (2017) is decently grippy, though the old plastic build did allow a firmer hold. The camera and flash are positioned alongside the central axis, and the assembly doesn't stick out from the back - if anything, it's marginally recessed. There's a fingerprint sensor embedded in the Home button.

The way the J5 (2017) fits in your hand is no small part of the reason why people will chose it over the J7. read more →

  • AMOLED display
  • Good battery back
  • Low base storage for the global version at 16GB
  • microUSB port is getting outdated
  • No quick charging
  • No Always on display

Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) Review

The Galaxy J5 (2017) feels like an ‘okay’ affordable phone, but is not pushing any boundaries. It has one of the best interfaces around: sleek and modern-looking, it has Samsung’s excellent apps, and it has a very solid battery life. But its camera and, most importantly, performance are underwhelming. The phone often feels stuttery and the camera lacks in detail and speed. And we know the terrible state of Android updates for phones like the J5 (2017). In such a fiercely competitive market, the J5 (2017) does too little to stand out. read more →

  • Feature-rich modern new Samsung UI
  • Solid build quality
  • Very good battery life
  • Modern look thanks to minimal side bezel
  • Android 7.0 Nougat on board
  • Stuttery performance
  • HD display resolution, pixelization noticeable
  • Unimpressive, rather slow camera, even for a cheap phone
  • Only 16GB on-board storage
  • Feels overpriced

Highly Overpriced with Less features

Feels review writing like any previous year launched smartphone, a backward smartphone phone.

  • Android 7.0 Nougat
  • New Samsung UI
  • NFC
  • Highly overpriced
  • Required Full HD, where as Samsung Galaxy note already launched in 2K
  • Should be at least 3 GB RAM, 32 GB inbuilt
  • Battery will be good if it has 4000 mAh
