Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) 16GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Black (SM-J530F)

Product Information

It can be annoying calls or messages can be missed when away from the phone without opening the screen. All in all the 'phone was summed up perfect ly by my son (an iPhone owner) when he said that it's an iPhone but with Samsung written on it and a fraction of the cost. A slight overstatement perhaps, but not by much! Read full review This phone comes with Android 7.0. It supports 4G VoLTE with dual SIM enabled 4G. It also supports Samsung Knox. [3] It is expected along with other phones including the Samsung Galaxy S8, Note 8, A7 (2017), J7 (2017), J3 (2017), S7, S6 and Note 5 to get Android 8.0 Oreo in 2018. As of 2018 August, Android 8.1 Oreo is available in Poland (for the SM-J530F). Android 9 Pie with One UI 1.1 is available as of 2019 September. [4] See also [ edit ]

Samsung’s updated Galaxy J5 does everything you could ask for. It’s a solid performer when put side-by-side with its competition, battery life is excellent, the new design is top-notch and its camera is far improved over last year’s effort. The aperture (f-stop number) indicates the size of the lens diaphragm opening, which controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor. The lower the f-stop number, the larger the diaphragm opening is, hence, the more light reaches the sensor. Usually, the f-stop number specified is the one that corresponds to the maximum possible diaphragm opening. Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation.

💽 Memory and storage

UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. Based on the GSM standard, it is deemed as a 3G mobile network standard. It has been developed by the 3GPP and its major advantage is the provision of greater bandwidth and spectral efficiency, due to the W-CDMA technology. Also known as Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (2017) with 32GB/3GB RAM; Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) Duos with dual-SIM card slots Network The Galaxy J5 2017 features a 13 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, f/1.7 aperture, auto-focus and a 13 megapixel front-facing camera with f/1.9 aperture, also equipped with LED flash. [2] The Galaxy J5 (2017) is available at the major carriers following the Galaxy J3. The ISO rating or number is an indicator of how sensitive a camera's image sensor is to light. Image sensors operate within a specific ISO range. The higher the ISO rating is, the more sensitive to light the sensor is. The display resolution shows the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. The higher the resolution is, the greater the detail of the displayed content.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the photos taken by the front camera, indicated in megapixels as well. System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoC Information about the manufacturer and model of the image sensor used by this camera of the device.Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging. Similar to the CPU, the GPU consists of processing units called cores. They handle the computation of graphics in various applications. Pixels are usually measured in microns (μm). Larger ones are capable of recording more light, hence, will offer better low light shooting and wider dynamic range compared to the smaller pixels. On the other hand, smaller pixels allow for increasing the resolution while preserving the same sensor size. Design Information about the dimensions and weight of the device, shown in different measurement units. Body materials, available colors, certifications. Width One of the main characteristics of the display is its type/technology, on which depends its performance.

Focal length is the distance in millimeters from the focal point of the image sensor to the optical center of the lens. The 35 mm equivalent indicates the focal length at which a full-frame camera will achieve an angle of view that's the same as the one of the camera of the mobile device. It is measured by multiplying the native focal length of the camera by the crop factor of the sensor. The crop factor itself can be determined as the ratio between the diagonal distances of the image sensor in the 35 mm camera and a given sensor. Smooth operation through and through. No problems, quality is ok, a good workhorse I am looking forward to use for the next couple of years. Front camera Modern smartphones have one or more front cameras and their positioning has led to various design concepts – pop-up camera, rotating camera, notch, punch hole, under-display camera, etc. Sensor typetalk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 3G cellular network.

Now being fed up and the battery dying slowly I decided to go for a branded phone in the hope that the quality would be a little bit better with less bugs and it actually working. Since my 12y old daughter ran out of internal memory on her SM-J530F, and yelling at me to buy her the new Samsung A53 whatever, I rather invested some time figuring out how to flash /e/ on her phone. stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 3G mobile network.Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology RAM (Random-Access Memory) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data in the RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted.
