Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) Pro Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) is a smartphone of reasonably good quality. It looks elegant and its screen is fairly pleasant. Its software experience is well-accomplished and its camera can land surprisingly good shots. While the Galaxy J5 (2016) does cover the essentials, it does so with the absolute minimum amount of design flair and hardware power required. Priced at around $255 in Asia and €280 in Europe, it becomes easy prey for comparably priced alternatives that present better value for money.In Asia, handsets like the Meizu M3 Note and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 offer metal bodies, bigger and higher-res screens, and faster performance without passing the $200 mark. And over in Europe, one can find excellent mid-range phones like the Huawei P9 Lite and LG Nexus 5X, both better in almost every way and priced in the €250-290 ballpark. Next to these, the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) doesn't really look that impressive.
