Introduction
Samsung has a lot of models division, from the primary Samsung Galaxy A5 to the most recent Samsung J7. That's how we have the entire alphabet of series with a lot of models in each of them. Near the bottom of the food chain, which is in no way sorted alphabetically the hugely successful J series is the place to get good value for money. and the Galaxy J5 (2017) is ready to compel. That's why we took time to draft a comprehend-able reviews for you!
The new model of this Samsung has 5.2 inches of screen diagonal, the Galaxy J5 (2017) fits between the 5-inch J3 (2017) and the 5.5-inch J7 (2017). From then on, it took some careful balancing between those two extremes to assemble a J5, that is much better than the J3 without being as good as the J7. Perhaps most importantly, the J5 for this year gets the Exynos 7870 SoC - a proper 14nm chip with an octa-core CPU, as opposed to the quad-core Snapdragon 410 that powers the J5 (2016). With only the J7 treated to full-HD, the J5 has a 720p screen - which is acceptable considering the smaller diagonal. Plus, the J7 (2016)'s sales figures didn't seem to be hurt by its own 720p display, a 5.5-inch diagonal there, not to mention that the Mali-T830MP2 GPU appreciates the lower load of fewer pixels.

Low base storage for the global version at 16GB micro USB port is getting outdated, No quick charging, No Always on display. There's no denying the usefulness of a dedicated micro SD slot, and we've got nothing but praise for Samsung for going this route with the J-series. That said, it's no substitute for decent internal storage. The lack of quick charging is a nuisance but hardly a deal-breaker, and while micro USB is yesterday's interface, at least you'll probably have a use of legacy chargers and cables. So, is the Galaxy J5 (2017) or J7.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) has 360-degree spin The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) measures 146.2x71.3x8mm - a whole millimeter narrower than the outgoing model, which is the metric that we have established to matter the most. Hence, the 0.1mm shaved off the thickness and the 0.4mm increase in height can be dismissed as irrelevant. The J5 (2017) is more compact than the J7, and that is likely one reason you' do go with the J5 and not the J7 (that, and price, of course).
Perhaps more importantly, however, the J5 (2017) is tangibly lighter than the J7 - at 160g, the smaller model will put less strain on your pocket than the 181g J7. If lighter is what you're after though, a Moto G5, an Xperia XA1, or a Huawei P10 lite might be viable options at around 145g. The dual-glass Galaxy A5 (2017) is 3g lighter than the J5 - unlikely to make a difference.
Hardware Overview
Once plastic phones true to the traditions of Samsung of old, the J-series have evolved to the more premium metal uni-body designs we see today. The downside is no more removable battery but the number of people still insisting on swapping batteries seems to be dwindling, so we should just move on. Having done just that, we can appreciate the smooth matte finish of the aluminum back that flows nicely into the rounded sides. The finish handles fingerprints well, as in it doesn't pick up too many to begin with, they're not readily visible, and are reasonably easy to clean.
The J5 (2017) is decently grippe, though the old plastic build did allow a firmer hold. The antenna band styling is quite refreshing - instead of trying to mask the strips, Samsung's designers have made them stick out. Not a new approach, strictly speaking, but it does work on the J5 and J7 for 2017. 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. It's classic Samsung on the front - a Super AMOLED display takes center stage with the good old hardware Home button under it, as is the case with Samsung's phones with finite displays (as opposed to the Infinity Galaxy S8). There's a fingerprint sensor embedded in the Home button, so it's not merely a button. The capacities Recent tasks key is to the left of Home, and the Back key is on the other side. They're not illuminated, but the contrasting markings are decently visible. Above the display next to the earpiece is one major upgrade the 2017model brings over last year's: a 13MP selfie cam, compared to the 5MP front-face of 2016's J5. There's an ambient light sensor too. What's missing is a notification LED, which is fine on the J7 with its Always-on display, but since the J5 omits that feature, an LED would have been appreciated. Well, there is an LED, but it's the front flash it's something. The power button is (where it should be) on the right side, and next to it you'll find the single loudspeaker. Introduced with this year's A-series, this alternative placement makes sense, particularly for landscape use. You're unlikely to block it, and it fires towards you. Right side with a power button and loudspeaker - yeas loudspeaker on the side. On the left side there are the volume controls - two separate buttons instead of a rocker. Two separate card slots allow you to insert up to three cards - two nano SIM and a micro SD. That's for the dual-SIM version though; our single-SIM variant will obviously only take one SIM. The J-series don't get a USB-C interface - it's the micro USB 2.0 port that you'll find on the bottom of the J5 (2017). To its right there's a 3.5mm jack, and on the other side a pinhole reveals the location of the microphone. The way the J5 (2017) fits in your hand is no small part of the reason why people will chose it over the J7. It's more compact, and reasonably comfortable for single-handed use.
The 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display doesn't disappoint Samsung has fitted the Galaxy J5 (2017) with a 5.2-inch 720p Super AMOLED display - same as the one in last year's model, if going solely by the numbers. The pixel density is 282ppi, but the fact that it's a diamond pixel arrangement with half the number of blue and red sub-pixels means you'd be able to see the weave of pixels if you look closely. Maximum brightness isn't great at 326nits (a dozen less than the 2016 (model), but in Auto the J5 (2017) can do way better. The brightness under direct light is virtually identical to what the J5 (2016) produced in Outdoor mode - the difference here is that the latest model has an ambient light sensor and can boost the brightness on its own, while you had to manually engage Outdoor mode on the J5 (2016). Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) battery life The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) is powered by a 3,000mAh battery and that's 600mAh less than the J7 (2017) but then the display here is smaller and the resolution is lower, so we expected comparable results. With screen size and resolution out of the equation in voice calls, the J5 (2017) scored 21:37h on a 3G call compared to the J7 (2017)'s 26:29h. In tests with the display on the two variables - size and resolution - made things more complicated and the numbers didn't match our expectations. In video playback the Galaxy J5 (2017) outlasts the J7 (2017) by two full hours, only to be defeated in web browsing by 4 hours. We have come to expect AMOLEDs to be much more efficient in our video test than web browsing, and that's the case with the J5 - perhaps even more so in this instance.
In the end, the overall result of the Galaxy J5 (2017) is 97h in our battery test - an excellent endurance rating despite the slightly lower than projected web browsing longevity. Our endurance rating denotes how long a single battery charge will last you if you use the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) for an hour each of telephony, web browsing, and video playback daily. We've established this usage pattern so our battery results are comparable across devices in the most common day-to-day tasks. The battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you're interested in the bitty-grit-ties. You can also check out our complete battery test table, where you can see how all of the smartphones we've tested will compare under your own typical use.Loudspeaker The Galaxy J5 (2017) is equipped with a single speaker located in a rather unusual spot high on the right side of the phone. Unusual, that is, unless you're familiar with Samsung's latest entries in the A and J series, all of which are designed that way. The speaker is a massive improvement over the J5 of last year in terms of loudness, and pumps out enough decibels for a Very Good rating in our three-prong test - just like the J7 (2017). We didn't experience any distortion at maximum volume either.
Text input
The Galaxy J5 (2017) uses the Samsung Keyboard, which long-time Samsung users swear by. It's quite feature-packed, with a dedicated numbers row, a row above that for word suggestions and additional
characters on each key (accessible via long-press). If that seems too tall, you can scale the keyboard down (or up, if you want bigger keys). We don't like that the Space bar can end up quite short in some instances, though. Additional typing tools include swipe input, My Hot Keys (predefined phrases that can be typed by long-pressing a number key) and voice dictation.
Other Apps
Samsung continues to bundle the Microsoft app package that includes Word Excel, PowerPoint, One Drive and Skype. The Samsung-customized web browser makes use of the Samsung Pass service and features Web sign in - a password manager secured by your fingerprint. This makes logins as simple as unlocking the phone, and people can't peek over your shoulder to see your password.
Gallery
The Samsung Gallery has been focused on Stories for a while now. Stories are shared, collaborative albums that means your friends can add their own photos from the party or just a Story on a shared theme (e.g Sunset) Several image editing tools are available - from basic cropping, to collage making, to a more capable editor (which supports image correction, effects and drawing).
Video player
There is no video player app pr-installed, so the Gallery handles the videos by default. Like with the music player, you can grab the traditional Samsung one from the Galaxy Essentials collection in Galaxy Apps (the Video Editor is there too). Even if you don't, the Gallery app is up to the task. It has full subtitle support with
advanced features to modify their appearance. It Uses Google Play Music for music playing Google Play Music is the default player for your tunes on the Galaxy J5 (2017). It can play your local files, as well as stream music from the cloud and it's backed by Samsung's extensive sound enhancements. They include the Sound Alive tool, which has an intuitive interface for tuning the equalizer. Presets and two simple dials are available for basic users, and there is a manual 9-band equalizer for more advanced users Adapt Sound is even simpler. It tunes the EQ to your hearing and your particular pair of ears and headphones by playing multiple frequencies and asking how well you hear them. Smart Volume automatically adjusts the volume of tracks from multiple sources. UHQ sound resolution enhancer is available as well for up-scaling compressed audio. There are also features such as Surround sound emulation and Tube Amp Pro simulator.
FM radio
At least in one area - the Galaxy J5 (2017) has an FM radio receiver. The app interface is clean and simple, there's RDS (you need to enable it settings) and a recorder - not much more you can ask for. 13MP camera same as the J7'sJust like last year's models, the Galaxy J5 (2017) shares its camera setup with the J7 (2017). That means a Sony IMX258-based primary shooter with 13MP resolution and a 27mm-equiv. f/1.7 aperture lens. There's no stabilization, but if the A-series skip that, why should you expect it from the Js? There is a flash, a single LED one like Samsung tends to do it. As part of the latest Samsung UX, the camera app is familiar from the flagship Galaxy S8, and yes, the J7 (2017). That means swiping down (or up) will switch between the front and back camera. Left brings up a panel with filters (no download option, though). Right lands you on a shooting mode selector. All pretty convenient, at least at first glance. There is an issue worth noting here, and it has to do with HDR. It's not available as a toggle in straight in the viewfinder, and when you delve into the modes to enable it, it's only ON or OFF - there's no Auto. Perhaps the mid-tier chipsets can't handle all the calculations for Auto HDR with live preview? A Pro mode is present too, though that's clearly a huge overstatement you get control over exposure compensation, ISO and white balance presets, plus a metering mode selector, but no manual focus and no manual shutter speed. Not really the "Pro" we were hoping for. A dedicated video mode and viewfinder would have been a nice touch, but Samsung's been stubbornly pushing the common one for stills and video, and if that's going to change, it certainly won't be with a mid-J-series phone. The Galaxy J5 (2017) creates images that can best be described as just okay. We're not particular fans of the limited dynamic range, which coupled with an overall tendency to underexpose means you'll be getting pitch-black shadows in high-contrast scenes. Corners are a little soft too. That said, there's detail to spare, and noise is pretty much non-existent. Colors are pleasing too, if a bit conservative in terms of saturation, especially in the reds. HDR mode can help with dynamic range, and given the relatively restrained processing you can just leave it on all the time. Well, not really, because you don't get a live preview of the effect like on the flagships, and it also takes longer to process and save.
Conclusion
Samsung's alphabet soup is making less and less sense. Here we have the Galaxy J5 (2017) that's got a premium metal build, a frugal 14nm chip-set, an excellent Super AMOLED display, and Samsung's latest
software. How is that lower mid-range? Well, it is. And it just goes to show how far the budget segment has come. You will still need to step up to the A-series to get dust and water protection, a usable amount of internal storage, and a USB-C port. The J5 (2017) has also been denied the Always-on display, so there's diversity even inside the J-series - the J7 (2017) has it.Those niceties aside, the J5 (2017) remains a great choice - perhaps it's the J phone that's highest on the bang-for-buck-o-meter this year, a spot the J7 (2016) comfortably occupied well, in 2016. Value isn't necessarily the universal top priority, and that means looking at some other options. If you're set on Samsung, the J7 (2017) will deliver a larger higher-res display, a few more hours on the web on a single charge, and some more RAM, though the J5 (2017)'s 720p display allows games to run smoother. The J7 is way more expensive, however, so you must really be after that display for the price difference to be justified. For about the same price as the J7 (2017), you can opt for the A5 (2017). That will let you stay on the smaller 5.2-inch form factor, but with 1080p resolution and the newer GPU can actually handle that.The latest A5 is also IP68 rated, its 16MP primary cam is superior and it has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage over J5 (2017)'s 2GB/16GB. With this, you can know which one to go for, either the J5 or J7 model.
