Samsung Android

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy J5 is one of Samsung's two new budget offerings, the other being the J7. The two phones undercut the previous launched E-series devices with more aggressive pricing while offering nearly identical specifications.

The J5 is a typical budget smartphone with its compact dimensions and low-end specifications. The phone will be competing against the likes of the new Moto G in various emerging markets.

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset
  • 1.5GB RAM
  • 8GB storage with microSD and USB OTG support
  • 13 megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording
  • 5 megapixel front camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording

Is a good phone but unfortunately it seems there is no any way to enhance internal memory while 8GB is insufficient to run few of the aaps for a long time....
