Samsung hard is trying to regain the market low-cost smartphones, which captured Chinese brands. The recently announced J-series should become a “strike force” in this endeavor Koreans. We have to check whether a beginner boast anything except eminent nameplate and design based on the flagship models.

Design and Management

The whole life – a struggle, and in the case of devices Samsung – also a struggle for the recognizable appearance of new smartphones and tablets.

With smartphones situation is more or less stabilized today Galaxy mobiles or acquired metallic inclusions in the streamlined body, or mimic the metal when it comes to low-cost models. Galaxy J5 is just a model of “economy class”, therefore, for the sake of showiness, Samsung ennobled novelty plastic “chrome” on all four edges. Watching these materials very smart, although in reality are even more slippery than the metal itself. But it did not help – the beauty demands victims.

Shortly before we went to test Samsung Galaxy E5, and the hell – these two models resemble each other like twins, both externally and technically. Only with meticulous examination reveals differences: body molded from Galaxy E5, at the verge of “middle-class» Galaxy outlined sharply, and the case thus thicker. Well, the main distinguishing feature of J5– flash on the front panel – also catches the eye.

From left to right: Samsung Galaxy E5 and J5 – find 10 differences

Instead cunning designs with choices between Dual SIM and SIM + Micro SD in the Galaxy J5 has one slot for a SIM card, and immediately above it – the memory card slot. However, caps on the case and information about the version under the symbol SM-J500H suggest that “dvuhsimochny” version also will be released.

Matt plastic rear panel does not slide in the hand and in the sun it becomes downright dazzling white. Scratches on such a body are not immediate, but gray dots, like a speck of dust in a couple of weeks of use without the cover still formed on the plastic of our hero. This is nothing compared to the scratches on the metal casings of smartphones, but rely on the “not killed” coloring Galaxy J5 should not.

Galaxy J5 looks harmoniously: the surrounding onlookers perceive it solid smartphone, as the owner pleases easy, and relatively thin practical case of the device.

 & # x41F; & # x440; & # x430; & # x432; & # x430; & # x44F; & # x433; & # x440; & # x430; & # x43D; & # x44C; Samsung Galaxy J5

Screen

Samsung Galaxy J5 is equipped with Super AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels at 5 inches. Today, these characteristics exactly fit into the concept of “middle class” in smartphones: Full HD matrix in cell phones require expensive processors and video accelerators (to smartphone does not slow down the work), and a lower resolution screen cell phone, the 2015 model is simply indecent to install.

But do not chase the resolution: the example of Philips Xenium I908 and ASUS ZenFone 2 we have seen that Full HD matrix in low-cost smartphones are, ahem, specific, when high definition images side by side with a low level of brightness or contrast unstable when looking at the display at an angle.

So

good HD-display is proving to be more pleasant than a bad Full HD.

And Galaxy J5 on this part of the perfect order – the brightness of the screen is able to squeeze about 290 cd / m2 in normal mode and activation mode “on the street” increases the brightness to 350 cd / m2, which is indeed enough for a smartphone sunny summer.

The viewing angles are maximum, the distortion of the image when viewed from the side is practically absent. Color reproduction is also very good – the color gamut of the display Galaxy J5 is 83% sRGB, so the photos and videos will look authentic. Oleophobic coating of the display is present, the display is not too heavily soiled.

Nonsuch display Galaxy J5 will not name, but it looks much nicer than most of the IPS-matrix smartphones for 12-15 thousand rubles. Immediately possible to note a couple of drawbacks: First, automatic brightness control deprived smartphone (instead – function “on the street” and a wide range of manual adjustment), and adjust the saturation characteristic of the Super AMOLED, it will not work – and in fact not met the required menu only in high-end models, but also a related Galaxy E5.

Sound

Still, Koreans are able to surprise avarice of the blue: the system settings Galaxy J5 is possible include surround sound effects or for all applications in the system, but … audio player for files on the memory card in the standard firmware J5 is simply no.

Is it too lazy to port an application from the same Android KitKat in the “e-fifth” ? Or smartphone buyers for 15 thousand rubles to be sent to Google Play, choosing from infested advertisement free players and more decent, but requiring denezhek with a credit card? In general, without first synchronizing with Google Play Music Galaxy J5 user will have to listen to music only through primitive file manager.

The quality of the speakerphone, our hero was average – to identify the track that plays smart, is not difficult, but the sound can be assessed except on the “four-minus.” The sound is loud and to view all sorts of chatter videobloggerov quite suitable, but the music from this speaker sounds unpleasant: due to an excess-definition percussion with his “ts-ts-shh” grates on the ear, with any “batch” in the chorus turns to mush. Therefore, listening to music via J5 much pleasure promises, and ringtones to choose the best songs are not too overloaded with details that the speaker is not “puffed” by separating from akkomponementa melody and could not immediately give a clear and loud sound.



Hardware

Talking about the power of smart phones cost 15-20 thousand rubles – employment melancholy: if you do not take into account the gray imports and little-known Chinese brands, today in this range of high performance can boast except that the ASUS with its ZE551ML. The rest of the brands preferred configuration fence, barely overtaking consumer goods, which is now “in bulk” selling telecom operators.

processor from Samsung Galaxy J5 – on “four».

Due to the fact that its four core architecture based on Cortex-A53, Snapdragon 410 cares for battery and “riding” a little better than the old processor MediaTek MT6582 or Snapdragon 400 running on archaic nuclei Cortex-A7.

But to call a powerful smartphone Galaxy J5 language does not turn: Huawei Honor 4C, which is cheaper than our hero 5 thousand, is more powerful than the Samsung at 35%. And it’s not “basement” model bought from Uncle Liao at foreign auctions at a discount – a smartphone in the official Russian retail.

 & # x41F; & # x440; & # x43E; & # x446; & # x435; & # x441; & # x441; & # x43E; & # x440; & # x43D; & # x430; & # x44F; производительность Samsung Galaxy J5 (& # x442; & # x435; & # x441; & # x442; Geekbench)
Performance Processor Samsung Galaxy J5 (test Geekbench)

This is not to say that Samsung has something prevents develop powerful and affordable smartphones – Koreans could easily get “from granaries” processor Exynos 5410 (of Galaxy S4) and equip them with new low-cost model. But the company prefers to be lazy and buy weak “semi-finished” at Qualcomm.

Special irritation causes the amount of RAM. One and a half gigabytes resemble a tomato 1.5, which is trying to sell you a smiling salesman in the store. Nobody argues that it’s better than one, but a smartphone designed with the characteristics “on the verge of decency,” produces a mixed impression.

This is part of the graphics on the Snapdragon 410 looks good – the new Intel Atom Z3560, established in ZenFone 2, cope better with the games, but the processors manufactured by Huawei and MediaTek will demonstrate the same or even a little less zeal.

 & # x413; & # x440; & # x430; & # x444; & # x438; & # x447; & # x435; & # x441; & # x43A; & # x430; & # x44F; производительность Samsung Galaxy J5 (& # x442; & # x435; & # x441; & # x442; 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited)

Samsung Galaxy J5 remains barely warm even after several hours of extreme load on the processor and graphics. It is a merit and nuclei Cortex-A53, and well-designed housing. If the smartphone was gaining more impressive temperature – to keep his slippery “chrome” edging it would be very difficult.

The work of voice, 3G and 4G is not satisfactory. Smartphone pleased and the level of acceptance of satellite navigation – Galaxy J5 found 22 satellites and successfully connected to 15 of them.



Software

Samsung Galaxy J5 running Android 5.1 Lollipop with firm shell TouchWiz.



shell slightly different from what you can see in the Galaxy S6 – Koreans have removed only part of the functions which, in their opinion, should be a flagship smartphone.

Gestures, fitness applications, voice assistant S-Voice, a program for creating photo collages and other minor little things without which you can do, have been removed from our smartphone. It is a pity that with them gone somewhere adjustment image on the display and an audio player. But Microsoft applications right there – okay only Skype, and OneNote with OneDrive also installed. Remove them, by the way, you can not – you can only turn off until better times. Nothing can be done – the money from Redmond Korean brand fulfills properly.

The availability and application newfangled Smart Manager – damn antivirus now come bundled with any smartphone if in a powerful and economical Galaxy S6 It looked ridiculous, in a more accessible J5 offers clean memory, the RAM or zamorochitsya on energy savings look much more appropriate.

The first few minutes after the performance smartphone is not happy – even the keyboard when entering text jumps from the bottom with a delay. But then the system adapts and lack of power ceases to be palpable.



Camera

Samsung Galaxy J5 is equipped with a rear camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels and the front with a resolution of 5 megapixel – typical characteristics for a modern smartphone average class.

The camera interface in Samsung Galaxy J5

the rear camera can be started by double clicking on the “home” – to run out a half seconds. Settings for her enough: in addition to traditional color filters can amuse vanity, and turn on the “About”, which is available for setting ISO, exposure and color balance. However, the possibility of the sensor are not worth a fuss.



photographed Samsung J5 medium – neither good nor bad.

Most of the pictures are quite clear and quickly stored. When static shooting in the daytime photos look decent, but the evening autofocus becomes annoying slowness (you have to manually specify the smartphone on the subject that for sure), and at night the camera “sees bad” if it does not help the flash. A flash, in turn, the most powerful to dare to shoot photos of the night.

The photos made the rear camera Samsung Galaxy J5

From the rear of the sensor in the smartphone middle class that behavior we did not expect: at least, the quality of the camera in the Galaxy J5 is comparable to most competitors. Where high expectations we place the sensor wheel – in addition to the actual 2015 resolution 5 megapixel it is equipped with a flash and can shoot video in the resolution of Full HD. Certainly, the central theme of the campaign will be its presentation J5 as inexpensive selfi-background.

The photos made front camera Samsung Galaxy J5

But in fact

front camera Galaxy J5 special “twists” not shine – the smartphone installed a typical “short-sighted” sensor, poorly adapted for shooting at night.

No, “uluchshayzery” selfi persons to present, themselves self-portraits when the flash is activated (in night mode, it stays on and does not flash during the shot) will turn out well, but the rest of the area is peppered with shot noise, which is why for the really valuable pictures would be better to contact the rear chamber – “frontalka” can boast consistently high quality picture.

But it is given good video – some kitayfonam fit to teach their rear camera to shoot high quality videos as well.

Endurance

Display Super AMOLED – is not only delicious, but also useful image quality in a relatively low-cost smartphones, but good start in terms of efficiency:

along with energy-efficient Snapdragon 410 Samsung Galaxy J5 showed an impressive battery life.

Due to the fact that the matrix of Super AMOLED not expend energy on displaying black, the average feature film (with a mysterious depressive character, conceived in the half-light) allows Samsung play our extra time in the video playback. Autonomy in the games, too, looks quite decent – very few people will need to go to the head in the Android-toys nearly four hours. And in reading mode “life-giving” black display fall to a little, but the processor is almost not strained, so in this scenario, the smartphone also keeps a stiff upper lip.
