Background: Having had a small adventure with Samsung's current flagship S8 + that did not last, since I do not have it left in my possession in this now, it left the short time with a little more flavor in my mouth.

Wonderful phone got it for my husband and he loves it

I liked the phone at first but it lacks enough capacity for more than just a few apps, even though I added an SD card. The predictive text on this phone is just so annoying too - I've used pt for years but never had one as bad as this.

The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) offers a more elegant design than the previous generation and houses the fingerprint reader. Overall it is an improved version, able to satisfy less demanding users (gamers stay away from this device).

Quality of materials and assembly; Battery life time; Dual SIM

Lack of notification LED; Keys are not backlit; Price too high; MicroUSB instead of Type C

The ever-popular Samsung Galaxy J5 has been upgraded for 2017 with a full metal body, and a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button. It's a smart, slim phone with a good-sized 5.2 inch AMOLED screen and fast performance from its 8-core Exynos processor.

This item was delivered to me to today but to my surprise I open the box and there were no phone only the charger, headphone and a pin to open SIM card slot real disappointed with this order. Wasted time well spent.

The smartphone is very good.

It can be hard at times to find some functions and features

With the update of its attractive Galaxy J series, we have the third generation of the J5 in our test. Samsung has radically changed the design and otherwise performs meaningful fine tuning. Fans of removable batteries will be disappointed, since the battery is now also built into the J5.
