Samsung J5 (2017) Review, Price and Specifications
Flagship Galaxy S-series design elements are gradually seeping down to mid-range Samsung phones. This year, we could see some refinements in J-series phones as well.
The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) is expected to flaunt a metal unibody design with a Super AMOLED screen layered with 2.5D curved glass on the front. The home button on the front also integrates a fingerprint sensor. There are U-shaped bands on the rear that make the phone look quite attractive.
Other Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) specifications and features include 1.4GHz Exynos octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage and 3000mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) price in India is expected to be around 15,000 INR at the launch.
For now, the specification details of Galaxy J5 haven't been confirmed officially. You can subscribe to updates above to receive price alerts for the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017.
- Looks good
- AMOLED display
- Good battery back
- 2GB RAM
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- microUSB port is getting outdated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 →

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
