The Samsung Galaxy J5 is a solid offering from Samsung. It might not be one of the most feature-packed budget device from the company, but it surely is a decent daily driver. However, it struggles in the camera department. And in the mid-range segment, you have options like the Lenovo ZUK Z1 (review), and the Moto G4 Plus (review), both of which offer great camera performance. The J5 does have great battery backup, but the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (review), with its 4,100mAh battery is a solid match. It must also be noted, that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 features a full metal body. While it is almost an all-rounder, the J5 does not match up to the tough competition. If you’re specifically looking for a phone from a tier 1 brand however, the Samsung Galaxy J5 does deserve a second look.
