.Samsung Galaxy On5 smartphone in Gold color*.2-pin Charger (5V-1A)*.Micro USB cable*.Earphones with microphone*.2600mAh battery*.Quick Start Guide.DISPLAY
The Galaxy On5 has a 5-inch TFT display with a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of around 294 PPI. Even though the display is smaller than the On7, the pixel density better. The display is bright, has decent viewing angles and offersvibrant color output. The sunlight legibility isgood too, but it is not as good as the Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy J2that is alsopriced similar. This doesn’t have a scratch resistant glass hence it is prone to scratches. The smartphone is 72.1mm wideand 142.3mm tall, and weights 149 grams, almost similar to most of the 5-inch smartphones.CAMERA
Coming to the camera, the 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with f/2.2 aperture is decent. The camera UI is similar to other Samsung smartphones running Android Lollipop. It has several modes (Auto, Pro (lets you adjust white balance, ISO and exposure manually), Panorama, Continuous shot and Beauty face), Effects ( Grey-scale, Sepia, Negative), and timer ( 2, 5 or 10 seconds). You can also press the home button twice to launch the camera, even when the screen is off and use the volume rockers as camera shutter. Sadly it doesn’t have HDR mode, similar to the On7.Coming to the image quality, daylight shots are good with vibrant colors and details. Macro shots are good too, thanks to f/2.1 aperture and it focuses quickly, unlike the On7. Low-light shots have a lot of noise as usual and images with flash are average.
SOFTWARE
Coming to the software, it runs on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) with Samsung’s own UI on top, similar to most of the latest Samsung smartphones. The lockscreen shows weather info and lets you launch the dialer and camera easily. The drop-down notification bar has several toggles and lets you customize the row accordingly. It also has brightness slider with a toggle for outdoor mode and an option to switch either SIMs as primary.
STORAGE
Out of 1.5GB of RAM, you get 1.39GB of usable RAM, out of which about 619MB of RAM is free when the default apps running in the background. Out of 8GB of internal storage, just 4.34GB of storage is usable. You can also move compatible apps to the SD card when you insert one. Even though the phone has option to move apps to the SD card, 4.34GB of storage is less since all the apps don’t have option to move to the SD card. This is definitely a downside.
PERFOMANCE AND BENCHMARK
It managed to score 20677 points in the AnTuTu Benchmark 5.Coming to the performance, the 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos 3475 28nm processor offers average performance, but it doesn’t have any heating issues. 1.5GB of RAM can handle multitasking fine, but the Exynos processor with ARM’s Cortex A7 CPU is not powerful compared to Snapdragon 410 withCortex A53 64-bit CPU found in most of the 4G smartphones in the market, including the Galaxy On7.
BATTERY
Coming to battery life, the 2600mAh battery lasts for the whole day from average to heavy use such as 4G LTE with both the SIMcards With minimal use, it lasts for two days. Based on my average use it lasted for almost 2 days with screen on time of about 3 and half hours. The power saving mode and ultra power saving mode lets you extend the battery life. The smartphone also has a removable battery, so you can swap it easily when required.FINAL VERDICT
At a price tag of Rs. 8,990, the Galaxy On5 isjust an average budget 4G smartphone fromSamsung. It has a good display, but it is not as good as the Super AMOLED display on theGalaxy J2. It has 4G support on both theSIM slots and offers brilliant battery life, butSamsung has missed out the ambient light sensor for auto brightness adjustment, yet again. Camera is decent, and few additions such as Ultra data saving mode are good, but the performance is not up to the mark and the 8GB of storage is not enough since only 4.3GB is usable.Those things aside, Samsung has priced theGalaxy On5 at Rs. 8,990, which is decent compared to its earlier smartphones in the price range. Since there is heavy competition in the similar price range, Samsung still needs to get aggressive whenit comes pricing. It is exclusive toFlipkart, but it is not sold through flash sales, so you can get it easily. To summarize, here are the pros and cons of the smartphonePros*.Good display*.Brilliant battery life*.Decent camera*.Dedicated SIM slots with 4G support on bothCons*.Average performance*.No ambient light sensor*.Only 4.3GB of usable storage.Pros:
