Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) – a worthy successor to the cutoff coupons? – Computer World (press release)

Successor, in short, the impression of conservative. FROM
 on the one hand, the second generation of Samsung phones Galaxy J5 get
 a lot of important changes and improvements, and on the other – some deficiencies, which until
 asked about the supplement they must not wait for another year. AND
 competition does not sleep.

What improved from the previous generation?

J Series is meant to be the opposite of series A, or
 belonging to the smart phones are not necessarily the most beautiful and
 best they made, but it will be profitable. And the first
  Samsung Galaxy J5 (see lowest price ) actually
 this is – plastic pain, like Samsung of the past, but
 under the plastic hid pretty good equipment.

 J5 Galaxy 2

the second generation Galaxy J5 too far to the quality of execution
 phone belonging to the family of Galaxy A, but has been changed in
 her one very important element – plastic, shiny
 frame are replaced by metal
(although the side buttons are
 still plastic). Also, material from which made removable
 rear flap – hiding under another memory card slot, a place for
 a micro-SIM (or two card versions Duos) and
  removable battery with a capacity of 3100 mAh – in
 the new model makes little better impression. In other words,
 Samsung Galaxy J5 is much less plastic than its
 predecessor.

It is also noticeably heavier and larger, which may be divided
 potential customers, because some consider that the second generation of J5
 pleasant hand and contraceptive appears to be more robust than the first,
 but for others it may be a little too big and heavy – what anyone
 He likes, but for me it is a step forward and I’m able to get over
 additional mass, if in return I get up in the removable 3100 mAh
 battery.

Galaxy J5 8

And that to me is the second most important amendment terms
 First J5 – battery life. You can not say,
 the predecessor falls in this respect poorly, but this year’s version
 J5 breaks it, and the vast majority of its competition
 vane. Not only is it equipped with a capacious cells, but not …
 It features her in whatever characterized by greater
 energy demand, which in this context is convoluted
 advantage of this phone. Suffice it to say that the new Galaxy can J5
 play Real Racing 3 for up to 5 hours, or more than twice
 longer than any flagowcu. During my typical
 Use on a single charge I was able to achieve
 about 6 hours
(sometimes even more) work enabled
 screen, and such, or a little better result reach me only
 best of the best in this respect.

Galaxy J5 as excels at saving
 energy at rest
. A typical result for most of the
 smartphones with Android 6.0 is the loss of about 5 percent charge
 the battery within 12 hours of standby time (with active Wi-Fi
 location-based services). Galaxy J5 also loses 5-6 percent
 … but during the day. I never had to recharge the handset
 during the day and I think most people will recharge it once
 two or three days. That makes new Galaxy J5 really good choice for
 people who do not have more stringent requirements for speed and
 additional functionality smartphone, but they require miracles from his
 time battery life – which, after the J5 at any
 time exchange, which is a feature quickly disappearing in modern
 headphones.

Another important set of innovations is associated with memory. After
 First, the new Galaxy J5 is about 0.5 GB more RAM,
 a total She is now 2 GB
. That can never have too much. After
 Second, the Galaxy J5 (2016) has built-in 16 GB
 Memory
. Small, 8-gigabyte data carrier, which
 you got for your applications only about 3 GB, then
 One of the major limitations of the previous generation Galaxy J5. Now
 space is more than twice (about 8 GB) and it really does
 big difference.

What is not improved, although this should be done?

Unfortunately, the Samsung engineers did not go with the flow and although
 described above amendments are very important and welcome this new
 Galaxy J5 inherited from his predecessor certain shortcomings, which he
 They escaped dry, but now, in 2016, it is very difficult
 accept your smartphone costing 1,100 zlotys (check lowest price ).

 Galaxy J5 9

Very little has changed on the screen. Yes, it is a little
 higher (5.2 inches instead of 5 inches) and a Super AMOLED is that the
 mode is activated, improving visibility on the outside can quite
 good light (450 cd / m 2 – just as clearly as the screen
 the first generation Galaxy J5), but 720p hardware
 However, this class is not enough. Especially in the case of the system matrices
 PenTile sub-pixels, which is about 1/3 less red and
 blue sub-pixels. Well … the new Galaxy J5 still no sensor
 lighting and automatically adjust the backlight brightness.
 Savings savings but without exaggeration.

Almost nothing was done with efficiency. Snapdragon 410 a long time ago
 He should retire and mount it behind costing
 smartphone is a big faux pas. CPU performance is very
 Primary and layout almost remember the days when people
 They write down your thoughts using hieroglyphs. actually, the whole
 competition offers a similar or slightly larger than a lot of money,
 much more – you can even replace the Honora 7
 Lite
(ie, Huawei P9 Lite without the fingerprint scanner and
 in a modified housing) and costing 100 zloty more
  Nexus 5X . 2 GB of RAM, a relatively good
 data carrier and a slim TouchWiz based on Android 6.0
 Galaxy assist and J5 can be used without nerwówki and playing well
 adjust image quality to the possibility of CPU and GPU, so the
 many titles can be played (for example, Real Racing 3, but -
 paradoxically – Angry Birds GO include frequent declines in liquidity
 animation), but the smartphone of this class should expect something
 more.

Then there are other deficiencies, mostly related to
 connectivity. The single Wi-Fi module n can survive, but no
 active reduction of ambient noise during phone calls -
 already much more difficult. New Galaxy J5 is also not provided with
 gyroscope, which mainly will tease fans of smartphones
 Virtual reality and players Pokemon GO.

In addition, the new Galaxy J5 is very correct smartphone

Only the word correct in this case it is not entirely
 praise, because although indications are that nothing in it is not zepsuto it
 also it suggests that it does not stand out with anything special. Quality
 phone calls and antennas is good, but of course you need
 note the lack of an active noise reduction. Headphone output is
 sufficient power and plays like most smartphones of this class, ie,
 well, but do not expect from him audiophile experience.
 Multimedia capabilities of this smartphone are very basic and
 limited – plays movies in Full HD resolution, there is no
 client built to handle DLNA does not support Miracast not
 It is also equipped with an output image.

 Galaxy J5 10

the quality of photos and videos also located in
 standard
. Photos made a 13-megapixel camera of the new
 Samsung Galaxy J5 look on your phone and computer nice
 the eye, mainly thanks to the nice saturated colors of warm.
 However, a closer look at them like that is here to
 dealing with the result of the work matrix middle class – detail
 the image could be improved, and the tonal range is at most
 average. Especially hard to see the photos taken in
 low light – autofocus is then a lot of problems with the
 and often they come out way too dark.

Light hungry leaves look for software that
 Camera – admittedly starts quickly and is intuitive, but
 excised from its HDR mode, and the so-called professional mode so
 really only adds three additional buttons (to change the ISO,
 WB and the mode of measurement light). In short, the camera
 the new Samsung Galaxy J5 suitable for fast in
 As nice looking photos and movies, but do not him
 expect anything more.

too little change, too much difference in price

So, I briefly summarize the test the second generation of Samsung
 Galaxy J5. The metal frame is a good change, additional memory is
 very useful and time battery life can never have too much,
 But hard for me to accept these amendments for aid worth 300-400 zlotys
 to last year’s version of the Galaxy J5 and for something that was worth it
 wait. New średniak Samsung leads his struggles in a completely
 not this price range – the range in which such deficiencies as
 screen resolution of HD, the lack of automatic adjustment of brightness,
 antediluvian processor, no gyroscope, an active noise reduction and
 many other smaller and bigger things could not get away.
 Simply put, the smartphone should not cost more than 800
 gold and compete with smartphones such as Huawei P8
 Lite
(see lowest price ) and third
 generation Lenovo Moto G (see lowest price ) and not more than
 $ 1000, where standards are already quite different. If
  Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) (see lowest price ) clear
 state or will begin to be offered in promotional offers
 operators, it will be able to take it into account, because they generally do not
 this is a bad phone. However, I hope that the next year
 successor to leave behind the impression of less scrap rates and equipment
 more reasonably priced.
