                  I just got this phone for 160€ and I am impressed so far. Fingerprint scanner is super fast! The screen resolution is not up to date but you don't really need more in daily use. Actually I think the screen is better than the ones in A3 or Note 8 cause it does not flicker as strong. I would never buy a Note 8 cause of that.
                  The only thing I'm not sure about is the camera. In really low light the noise reduction is much too aggressive. I compared to my old A3 2016 and the A3 looks more detailed and clear. In better light I think the J5 wins.
                  The phone looks great in gold!

                        The sound enhancement, "UHQ sound resolution enhancer", on galaxy J5 and s8 sucks big time. I returned a galaxy s8 because the sound on headphones was ridiculously flat, unexciting, with a funny gentle baseline. My huawei honor 8 has DTS sound enhancement which beats the crap out of samsung's UHQ.

                              AnonD-669148, 06 Aug 20175.2" 720p PenTile, and not even Gorilla Glass 3, screen is NOT "good", especially not for that... moreWell, mine is fine. No scratches and marks and the glass is smooth with a good hardness to it too. Just because it's not Gorilla Glass doesn't mean it's crap. There are tons of other types of glass which can as good if not better. Aminosilicate glass used on some Huawei phones is good hard glass. Gorilla Glass is breakable just like any other. Think you need to get out more

                                    Anonymous, 10 Aug 2017I dont have a lot of money, but never will I buy a low end phone again. I rather save up for 3... moreAgreed but sometimes it can happen otherwise . Look at what happened to note 7 . I bought an A series phone from Samsung ( which is mid range between flagship and budget ) to replace my j series phone and sadly j series was more reliable in connectivity . The particular model I bought had some WiFi and mobile data connectivity issues ( maybe because of software ) . But overall yes premium phones give great experience which budget phones fail to
