Samsung Galaxy J5 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 66 / 100

Samsung Galaxy J5 is an amazing phone released some years ago, in 2015, provisioned with a fast processing unit clocking at 1.2 gigahertz, a pretty large 5" multi-touch capacitive screen, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 MP front camera.

This phone is just 0.31" thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. This cellphone just has 5.59 inches long and 2.83 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 5" screen. Samsung made this phoneavailable just in three colors, black, white and gold. This device is much lighter than what one would expect from a phone of this size.

The J5 ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 chip, packing a fast processing unit ticking at 1200 MHz with a big 1,5 GB RAM memory. This cellphone comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage and an SD card slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred games and apps without any problem.

This device has two cameras, a 13 MP back camera and a 5 MP front facing camera. This phone can also shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, this phone's camera also features a few good features like flash, auto-focus, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

The Samsung Galaxy J5 has a very good 5-inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, providing this device with a nice image quality. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The J5 uses a huge 2600 mAh battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an incredibly long battery duration.

This cellphone has Wi-Fi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a router), LTE (4G) high performance internet connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The J5 uses a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone also features a handful of useful features as NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Samsung Galaxy J5 might not be so convinient considering it is priced 159 dollars, and other similar phones are sold for a bit less than that. The J5 is definitely the right choice for you no matter whether you want a social cellphone, need this cellphone for work, you love taking photos or want a cellphone for gaming.
