Samsung products in Russiais popular. Of course, its image is created by flagship models of smartphones, however, inexpensive gadgets deserve the buyer's attention. The Korean manufacturer's lineup is quite rich. In terms of the number of phones produced, Samsung is the undisputed leader. The first position of the rating this brand also occupies in terms of sales.
In 2016, a presentation of a new smartphone took place Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime. Reviews about it, as well as the characteristics will be detailed in the article. The device belongs to the category of inexpensive devices. In December 2016, the price for it was about $ 200.
Before you begin to review the smartphone,it is necessary to consider one point. His name uses the code J5. This model is already known to the buyer, but the device with the Prime prefix is not its improved version. This is a fundamentally different device. The differences are in the hardware "stuffing" and other elements (screen, material, cameras, etc.). What are the features of this model?
Ergonomics, appearance, dimensions
Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (Gold, Black) externallylooks pretty presentable. The phone differs from its predecessor in the material of the case. Here the developers used metal, which, undoubtedly, is worthy of respect. Quality and assembly of complaints do not cause. During operation, users did not notice any squeaks or backlash. Details are adjusted as accurately as possible, so there are no gaps. But, in principle, it is quite in the spirit of Samsung, because the company even "state employees" produces high quality.
The size of the smartphone did not surprise customers,Since they fully correspond to devices that are equipped with a 5-inch display. The height of the body was 142 mm with a width of 69 mm. The thickness parameter also refers to the average - 8.1 mm. The same can be said about the mass of the apparatus. Its weight is 143 g.
How is the front panel of Samsung Galaxy J5?Prime? Glass with 2.5D effect gives originality. It is worth noting that this solution was first used in the J-line. Now we can safely say that it is successful. The smartphone looks interesting because of this glass. Under the screen there is a control panel with a mechanical key. This design is a kind of business card Samsung Samsung smartphones. It is, as usual, oval in shape, framed by a chrome frame. It has a built-in fingerprint scanner. On the sides of the mechanical key are two sensory. They do not have a backlight, but thanks to the notations of silvery color they stand out well against the general background. The right button performs the function backward, the left button opens the menu of running applications.
Above the screen, of course, there is a company logo.Immediately above it is the speaker, the hole of which is covered with a chrome mesh. Such a solution fits harmoniously into the overall concept. In addition to the dynamics, there are also an indicator, the "eye" of the front camera and a sensor.
Metal back panel is not removable.Plastic inserts are used only in places where antennas are located. The solidity of the panel is disturbed by the square “window” of the camera and a small flash. Under them is the logo. Due to the one-piece body design, the user does not have access to the battery.
The Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime Controlsarranged unusually. On the right side there is only a lock / power key. Above it is not the usual "rocker" volume. Developers instead placed a hole dynamics. Such a decision, though not quite usual, but successful. During use, the chance to accidentally cover the slot is minimized, which significantly increases the sound level. But the left side face is overloaded with elements. Here are two volume keys, a SIM card tray and a slot for an external drive. Also, the developers involved the lower end, bringing to it the audio jack, microUSB port and a small microphone hole.
Sensors
Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime is the firstsmartphone line J, which implemented a fingerprint scanner. It works well. Located in a very convenient location. However, with other sensors, the manufacturer did not fool around. For some reason, there is no elementary ambient light sensor in the device. Developers refused to compass, magnetometer, gyroscope. All that will be available to owners of this model is an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an orientation sensor. Many users have noticed that it is on such trifles that the company is trying to save. Whether this is the right decision, time will tell.
Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime: Performance Specs
Presentation of a new processor of its ownThe development took place precisely at J5 Prime. Well, the owners will have to test it and find the strengths and weaknesses, but for now let us describe the characteristics of the Exynos 7570 chipset. This model was developed specifically for devices in the budget segment. It is based on Cortex-A53 processor cores. Made in compliance with the 14-nm process. It is worth noting that such an indicator is worthy of respect. Each of the computational elements is capable of issuing a frequency of 1430 MHz. According to the manufacturer, the advantages of this chipset are undeniable. First of all, the smartphone will work equally with those in which Chinese eight-core processors are installed. In terms of speed and energy efficiency, it will compete with many gadgets.
Unfortunately, according to advanced users,The video card spoils the overall impression. For such a device, the Mali-T720 will not be enough. Yes, with 3D-games can be difficult, but with the basic tasks the device will cope with a solid top five.
Memory
It's time to figure out which Samsung GalaxyJ5 Prime memory features. To begin, pay attention to the amount of operational. The developers in this model have installed two gigabytes. Half of the system is already occupied, but the rest will be quite enough to completely forget about departures while working with applications.
Built-in storage has a capacity of only 16gigabyte Is this enough for the modern user? Probably not. To work with applications, only 9 GB remain free, and this is critically small. You can expand the integrated memory at the expense of the drive. The device has a separate slot, so there is no need to abandon the second SIM. There is also support for USB OTG drives.
Battery
In order to learn all the characteristics of SamsungGalaxy J5 Prime, you need to understand the battery life. The device is installed insufficiently capacious rechargeable battery. Its volume is only 2400 mAh. But having learned about it, do not be upset ahead of time. The new processor is energy efficient, so even with active use, you can safely count on one day of work. In the video mode, the smartphone on one charge functions for up to 12 hours. Approximately so much time can be spent on surfing the Internet. Users noticed that if a day the active state of the screen does not exceed two hours, the gadget will be able to work for almost 3 days. Surprisingly, these are exactly the results that the Xiaomi smartphone with a 4100 mAh battery shows. There is something to think about?
Camera features
What cameras are implemented in the Samsung Galaxy J5Prime? The characteristics of the front is not very impressed users. It is based on a 5 megapixel matrix. But It is worth noting that in comparison with its predecessor, the luminosity ratio was increased to 2.2 against 1.9. Expect a lot of selfies make no sense. The color and quality are average.
The main camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels.There is an LED flash. But users noticed that in poor lighting it is no use. Photos are grayed out, dull, with a low level of detail. But in the daytime you can make quite high-quality images. Dynamic range is not the maximum, but wide. The color rendition is close to the natural shades. Image clarity is acceptable.
Let us draw the attention of buyers that both cameras are capable of working in Full HD video mode, which is pretty good for inexpensive gadgets. The frame rate is 30 FPS.
Display
What is the screen used in the Samsung Galaxy J5Prime? Characteristics of a 5-inch display are almost the same as those installed on other brands of smartphones. Resolution is typical for this size - 1280 × 720 px. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not use AMOLED technology, replacing it with PLS. Experts call such a matrix a compromise solution. The quality with which the picture is displayed is average. The brightness range is quite enough for comfortable work. As the protection of the display used glass Gorilla Glass. It is characterized by rounded edges. The developers have not forgotten about the oleophobic coating, but its quality does not exceed the average level, so you have to actively deal with fingerprints on the screen.
Communication and sound

The gadget works perfectly with all popular networks, including LTE. As for the latter, the signal is stable, it works without failures. There is a Wi-Fi module, but it operates only at 2.4 GHz, but modern protocols support everything. There are no remarks to the navigator. The device works not only with GPS satellites, but also GLONASS. To find them takes no more than a few seconds.
As for the sound, this model getsonly positive feedback. First, it was influenced by the rather good location of the output dynamics. Secondly, at maximum volume, creaks and wheezes do not appear. In headphones, the bass can be heard clearly, the upper range is average.
