An affordable smartphone from an A-brand that claims to be labeled as a style icon. The appearance of the phone, of course, does not reach the role models in the face of the flagship smartphones of the Galaxy S series, but it stands out very well against the background of its own kind. The hardware component of the gadget has received less attention than its appearance — the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime 2016 will perform well when surfing the web or watching videos, since the combination of the Exynos 7570 chip and 2GB of RAM is less suitable for more resource-intensive tasks. The 5-inch screen of the smartphone uses a PLS-matrix with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, ensuring the visibility of the picture at wide viewing angles and natural colour reproduction. For photo and video shooting, the...device offers to use a 13-megapixel main camera with f / 1.9 aperture or a front camera with a resolution of 5 MP and f / 2.2 aperture. And among the standard wireless interfaces, the NFC draws attention, which provides the ability to use the Samsung Pay proprietary payment system.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

Update low-cost smartphone Samsung Galaxy J5 was a success. Its modified version has a stylish all-metal body with rounded 2.5D glass on top of the screen and, in addition to the “beautiful wrapping”, offers excellent responsiveness in everyday use.

Ergonomics

The location of the controls on the phone case, as well as the menu items of the proprietary TouchWiz shell, are well known to everyone who has ever dealt with Samsung smartphones. According to the latest fashion trends, the Home button turned out to be combined with a fingerprint scanner, and separate slots for SIM + microSD and another SIM card were hidden on the left side of the gadget.

PLS matrix

Instead of the usual SuperAMOLED matrix for most smartphones of the South Korean brand, a PLS screen is installed on board the model. Being a kind of IPS-solutions, it is also characterized by natural colour reproduction and wide viewing angles on all fronts. The resolution of the 5-inch screen is 1280x720 pixels. For maximum usability, the display lacks only an auto-brightness sensor, which is why you will need to manually adjust this parameter to current lighting conditions.

Aesthetics

The gadget is more focused on the supporters of the aesthetic component, so its hardware platform does not shine with high performance. The combination of the Exynos 7570 chip and 2 GB of RAM scores about 37K points in the AnTuTu test, which indicates an average level of performance in resource-intensive applications. In fact, the smartphone performs very well in ordinary tasks (surfing the Internet, watching online videos, chatting in social networks, etc.), and in heavy games (for example, Apshalt 8) slows down as expected.

Filming

The functionality of the "Home" key, on the sides of which there are two more non-illuminated touch buttons, includes the ability to launch the camera by double-clicking. The J5 Prime offers a 13MP main camera with f/1.9 aperture and a darker 5MP front camera with f/2.2 aperture. During the day, photos are detailed and saturated, but along with the deterioration of shooting conditions, the quality of the footage also deteriorates.

A-brand

The smartphone is suitable for those who are looking for an inexpensive and stylish solution from A-brands. Yes, he can’t handle heavy games, but under normal conditions of use, the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime 2016 shows itself only on the positive side.
