Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) - User Reviews

  • samsung experience 8.5.

  • screen on top showing c+ what is this

  • Hello, bought this in 2016, it works. I am not it's user anymore, but my dad uses it still. It works like new one. It dropped many times also, still works, screen is perfect. No damage or wear. Fast and great. Samsung sports tracker is used a lot in this one. 4th year started recently, and we have no plans to change this thing anytime soon, thanks.

  • NFC tag is located on the original J510 battery cover, the option to turn on/off is located by dragging down the control options from the top of your screen

  • NFC is located on the original battery cover of the J510

  • NFC is depending off battery (it is on battery). If you change the batery then you are probably lose NFC support.

  • home button and power button

  • Hi The gsmarena specifications says the model SM-J510F has NFC! I can't find it!(mt phone has android 7.1.1 and Samsung Experience 8.5 and the build number is NMF26X.J510FXXU2BRE2. Any help appreciated!

  • Hold the power button and home button at the same time

  • Please provide information of screenshot technique in samsung galaxy j5

  • Seems stupid to ask, but how do you turn on the game performance mode in game launcher, hehe, I can only turn on battery saving

  • It is still quite relevant in the poorer countries, tough many people in the west also ship these to their relatives in the Africa, ME & Asia...

  • didnot open

  • every phone in the market have SS feature

  • Does this unit has the "print screen" feature?

  • Reset the phone.

  • Change in j510f

  • I think you buy the wrong one, already broken or maybe recondition. Because mine already more than 2 years and working great. Battery also very good than my s6 edge. But now already lag if use multiple heavy apps.

  • Its understandable that j5 2016 will not get the taste of oreo but i hope even just a security update samsung will continue to support this phone. My phone is stock on january security patch.

  • J7 2016 also received the update Oreo 8.1.0.in Romania! the software package has 937.52MB but J7 2016 has a much better Octacore processor than J5 2016

  • This phone does't show interest for Samsung because is almost 3 years old and is not an galaxy S. Why would Samsung pay a team of developers and testers to implement Android 8 for the j5 2016 if this phone is no longer relevant?

  • I honestly do not think J5 2016 gets Oreo. Only J7 2016 gets it because it has a newer Octacore processor.

  • Update 8.0 for Galaxy J510 ?

  • 16 is its ROM, while 2 is its RAM.. Do you know now?? You should have understood it right away.

  • Memory Card slot microSD, up to 256 GB (dedicated slot) Internal 16 GB, 2 GB RAM Why are there two figures for internal memory?

  • Are you using a non-official one? Because the original J5 didn't have that kind of issue. And, this is a budget phone. What, do, you, expect, from, a, non-flagship, phone, from, 2016. 2 0 1 6

  • Isn't in the 7.1 Naugat have game launcher too? Rn I'm using it

  • To the guy who tells battary error when switch off thats happens only on the new (the same as before just with new name ) iphone xs max the samsung dont have issues with that the phone work perfectly and if it ever break i will buy the same with close eyes

  • What is your phone model?j510f?????

  • My Phone updated to Oreo 8.1 and its has good effect compressing files and sligthly good in gaming because it has game launcher to optimize gaming apps

  • I'm using Google's Play Store "Rotation Control" app from CrapeMyrtle I love this app, very simple and powerful with no ads. You simply Start the program and clic "Start controlling rotation" (you also have the option to "Start on boot"), then you can easily control the rotation (even with the phone blocked) from the notification zone (slide finger from top to bottom)

  • 1. It's a budget phone. 2. All of those mentioned can be disabled and. I have it. Never goes under 3gb of storage left. Most phones have facebook pre installed now. 3. Its a phone from 2016. 2 0 1 6.

  • My guy what do you expect from a budget phone from 2016, it isnt a flagship it barely costs $180.

  • This is the first phone I've gotten and I've had it for a bit longer than 2 years. It still works perfectly but when I get my next phone I'll look for one with about 2gb more storage since about half of it is taken up by the device.

  • I carry my phone all the time when cycling.(it has ANT+ and i can connect devices like HRM and candence) For some reason when it wakes (maybe after a call) and when i sweat a lot, is getting crazy. Doesn't listen my commands, the touch screen stop works. i have to wait a lot, or try to restart the phone. But its a good and reliable phone.

  • Its such a worst phone i have ever seen or use in my life. right after 5 days of purchase. its working too slow bettry issue, softwear issue again worst phone in my life.

  • Wonder phone. Have it two years and not a single issue. Works briliant

  • something error in system charge when swich off

  • The J5 2016 received in Romania a software update of about 280 MB yesterday. Security Pach 1 June 2018 now.

  • It doesn't work with Chromecast. 1 star.

  • The J7 2016 is planned for Oreo 8.0.0 and the J5 2016 seems to be only 7.1.1

  • Use developer mode

  • A very important aspect is that this phone has OTG!

  • Galaxy j5 2016 is very week to catch the network range. It catches very week mobile networks. Please update this.

  • love the phone had since launch no major issues. The only problem I had with my handset was it didn't like any memory card and if i did put one in kept saying no storage card. But i have got used to it. Sound quality excellent as I wear hearing aids and i can use them with this hand set

  • Have owned since first launch. Andriod OS updated to 7.1.1 Still working ok with no problems. To date has been a very good, reliable phone.

  • OS always crashes and seeing a frequent optimization screen, disgusting. Does anyone has any better idea rather than factory reset ?

  • yes downgrade to android 6.1 again will see the differance

  • battery drain fast after android 7.1 then stopped charge at 79% i had to downgrade to android 6.1 again Does samsung forcing us to upgrade phones ?!

  • Loev this phone. HAs good camera and have it for 3.1 years no lag / glithc must buyyyyy

  • It takes long to be charged! Did you get rid of this problem?? I face same as you faced....

  • Not the pretiest, nor most powerfull, but extremely reliable. Almost two years without a singe glitch or freeze

  • Avoid this thing at all cost. I have this, I like this, but. I like the specs. As soon as you plug it in and install, so much BLOATWARE. Facebook app pre-installed, well, I don't have Whatspp. Skype and other Microsoft apps pre-installed - well I don't have Microsoft account/Skype account. Two browsers, Samsung and Chrome, two Emails Samsung and Gmail, two photo apps Gallery and Photos. For what? Taking too much of space these things. And these are not even all bloatware it has. Avoid this thing at all cost. I am going for Android One experience and I will never buy Samsung phone again. Never.

  • Strange u compare Samsung brand to Chinese brand don't compare this phone is best i have this phone since last 17 months. If u want to go for it

  • Change the data cable

  • Where can I find the setting to allow my screen to rotate?

  • It takes to become full charge for 6hrs what couses also what can i do to prevent this

  • open tha camera sethig and click tha s d card storg

  • I want to know if my j5 has auto call recorder

  • first need to format the SD card, then reboot, open the camera setting default storage select SD card

  • How default storage of what's app etc can be set as sd card? As all the videos/ photos are automatically saved in phone storage. Please suggest the solution....

  • The J5 2016 is better because it has a top-quality Amoled display (compared to the J3 2017 that has a PLS TFT with a plastic glass I think), metal frame, big battery more than 3100mhA detachable, Android 7.1.1. At minus the Snapdragon 410 would be outdated on 28nm with the new Exynos 14nm quad core 1.4Ghz processor on the J3 2017.The J5 2016 comes in 1.55 A charger package and J3 2017 with 1.0 A charger and loads pretty slow.

  • please, can you tell me which is better in battery life between J3 Pro ( 2017 ) and J5 ( 2016 ) ?

  • i am also

  • i suggest don't by this phone, cause this phone so badly connection, every day its gets restart , bad for gaming (always lag, actually the connection is good) and i think snapdragon for phone with spec like this is not acceptable.

  • Is it still recommendable to buy it now?... I'm not sure if I should buy this one or the Xiaomi Redmi 4x (I know Xiaomi has "better" specs, but many bad reviews and comments too)

  • if i press the option to check if there is a new software update,it tells me that "registration failed" ive tried to check if there are updates on PC,same story all over again,does not show that there is an update avalible.i dont wanna risk it an update via Odin.anyone who has an idea,it would be helpfull.

  • I had it & using it for a year now.Since the newer update,my battery drains fast.I ran diagnostics on both Samsung Members & device maintenance & both results were okay.But it drains when i surfing the internet,facebooking,playing games,watching video etc.

  • Well i am using it for 2 years and there are no problems what so ever..

  • i have it since a year and its very good the only problem after upgrade to 7.1 is battery

  • I bought it 18 months ago.both the sims don't work at a time. one is showing no service. Wht is the solution?

  • I bought it almost 2 yrs ago. Now I'm facing a crucial prblm in it. My both the sims don't work. Only one sim does work.Another one is showing 'No Service '. Wht is the solution of it? Is it reparable? Reply me as soon as possible. Otherwise I will meet my lawyer & go to the court to take steps against your deception.

  • I have our samsung galaxy j5 2016 type.

  • A year after I bought it, the problems started. First with the headphones, any time I plugged in my pair of headphones it would freeze and shut off. Now, it wont connect to a wifi access point, or stay connected to one. Plus it shuts down whenever its inactive. So, don't buy this phone.

  • this phone one of the worst phone for gaming, its so shame cause it terrible when i play Mobile Legends, so disspointed about this only 1.2 GHz? with smartphone with large secreen and storage. Shame Shame Shame

  • After update volte option but not open how to open it plz contact me

  • Anyone know how to download Skyline from Viewfinder with J5

  • YEP, worked update perfect! tested.

  • Does it have a volte after update to nougat 7.1.1

  • Hi Very good phone

  • Faced the same problem. But rooting may solve this problem somehow.

  • it has no 5ghz wifi support, wifi protocol N is not present in this model

  • How to clean cashe on this ph? To clean cashe on specific application?

  • Please purchase another battery for your J52016. I think this will help.

  • - 7.1.1 Update is fantastic, But the problem is the battery drains quikly after the update, am I the only one who experience this kind of changes? anybody?? how to down grade back to Marshmallow???anybody????

  • I did the same, the battery is going so fast,,, the only choice is to downgrade back to marshmallov

  • How I can start my Samsung j5 after reset?

  • How default storage of what's app etc can be set as sd card? please suggest....

  • awesome cam. but too bad, j5 is a blindgadget without compass. i've sold mine after using 1 weeks...!

  • AGREE!:) bought mine in aug 2016. had my nougat update and still loving it! I'm planning to have a xiaomi note 5 pro this year though. :)

  • Still using this phone, bought 08/2016. It works fine. Fast and smooth, if you just keep apps away from your phone. Especially pre-installed ones you need to disable, like Skype and Facebook, Microsoft Office apps. Why to install apps for us - we should decide. Camera is okey. Front camera is a bit out of style. Not good enough photos. Back camera is fine, but could deliver more colour. Video is okey. Flipcover from Samsung makes it decent, also removable battery is great. Not on new phones anymore. Sound quality is amazing with decent earphones. I have it now for 1 year and 8 months almost. Would like to have it for more, but also because of camera looking for something better in background. Screen resolution is okay, could be Full HD. Samsung make less preinstalled apps on your phones. My next phone will be Nokia or Moto with original Android.

  • Still using this phone for a year and 7 months. :) Its nougat update is good and rear camera is still superb. I just don't like its front cam because of its blurry selfie captures. Still in love with this phone in 2018.

  • worst phone i had used

  • I dont have 7.0 nougat update in my j5 2016 why?

  • Either you are new to the android or don't know how to move your photos from internal to the SD... It not a such a bad device.

  • 2016

  • This phone is driving me mad! I have deleted apps to make room to no effect! I installed an SD card but cannot send photos or apps to the card. I have deleted photos - no use! I only have two months left on my contract and then I am finished with it!

  • Please apdet internet mettar..

  • Which is the Best for batery. J5.2016 or. J5.2017

  • Hard reset. Format your phone and you will be good to go.

  • Use Power Saving Mode

  • But u loose around 400mb ram.

  • anyone know a fix for battery fast draining after update to nougat 7.1.1

  • What about the C series? Like the Samsung C5?

  • I got second update for 7.1.1 yesterday, it inclueded fix. Phone gets rid off lags and fast battery drain. Very smooth now

  • J aren't Midrangers they're Low Rangers, The A Series is a Midranger and the S is Flagship.

  • Finally!!!!! Goodbye android 6.0.1 marshmallow Hello android 7.1.1 nougat is a beautiful program it is a perfect condition..... Alright!!!!! my J5 (2016) update to nougat 7.1.1 and samsung experience version 8.5 SM-J510F Thanks yeehah.....

  • You dont read spec carefuly...j5 2016 version is 2 gb ram and 16 gb rom/internal storage and more than 8gb user storage...

  • Got it in 2017 for 90 euro. if you like to use your phone a lot, it gets really fast out of space, so would recomend an SD card. Fast phone, rare lags, no difficulties. i also lost it sometimes, no damages on the screen. never a single problem really.

  • Overall it was great phone until one day it turned to black screen with no reason.

  • If u turn off all apps and update only OS Android 6.1 and use nessery witouth any MS apps and limited Google apps..just Chroma, Gmail and Google u be a lucky if u not alert LOW DISK SPACE....PLS DELETE SOME APPS... 8/1 GB is toooo small. If u put SD card nothing get. Bcs just pictures and some mp3 can deliver. Basic prbl is Android 6....use more then 6GB...rest 2GB is in clouds Pls dont buy this phone...its sucks

  • go for it,i just updated my phone abd it works really fine. ain't the same like prev version. now my phone is bit faster than before and also giving good battery backup

  • For me it's a super perfect smart phone . It's got everything power battery life and no lagg. I bought it for 180 euro in 2016 and still work perfect. Just one problem my cam sometimes has a error and i need to restard the phone and the cam is fixed. But that happens not so much at a time.

  • How to solve battery issue after update to 7.1.1?

  • Yes J7 2016 it's much better compared whit J5 2016 J7 it's a pure midranger it's not a cheap phone and diserv 8.0 Oreo.

  • Alright, thanks. Yeah, I'm kinda dissapointed with this move from Samsung, no offense but J7 was more expensive phones and it atleast deserves the same version as J5. I kinda have hopes that it will get Oreo, but I also highly doubt it since midrangers only get one major update. It is what it is, though. I'm glad atleast J5 got it, hah'...

  • Yes confirm J5 2016 FN DS rules Android 7.1.1 whit Samsung Experience 8.5 and have option for Voice over LTE 4G and Wi-Fi Call and J7 2016 don't have this in Android 7.0. Probably the J7 2016 should have a chance to upgrade to Oreo.8.0. for it's normal to stay with only 7.0

  • I can confirm this. I am a Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 user and when i go to settings and check what android version my phone has it shows android 7.1.1.

  • Soooo, I just came here to check something. I'm J7 2016 user and as far as I got it you got Android 7.1.1 and J7 only got 7.0. Can anyone confirm this? It's really, really strange to me, and I really have no idea why Samsung did this.

  • Battery life after update?

  • Yesterday I received updates Android 7.1.1 Nougat on my Samsung J5 2016 in Pakistan. I download it and installed successfully.

  • Hi John, I have almost identical problems to you. Bought my J5 2016 in may 2017, put it straight in a case, never dropped it, I worked in electronics years ago, so am pretty careful, about 4 months ago it started really playing up doing things like turning it off, only way was to remove the battery. It was doing all the things that you mention yours is doing. Don't know how I didn't launch the useless waste of money at a wall tbh! Anyway I bit the bullet and did a factory reset and bought a brand new samsung battery and quess what? Nothing has changed one bit, useless, it takes over 48 hours to charge it. Total piece of useless rubbish.

  • does it have fingers print

  • My device is J510h It is receiving updates right now.

  • When 7.0 update in Finland? Very frustrating that some countries are receiving it and then others are not.

  • J5 2016 is trash. I bought one new about 8 months ago, never dropped it or anything. It worked fine for about the first 7 months but lately it just seems to have become a problem for no reason at all. I've always been good with electronics, computers, phones, etc so I know when I have a problem with a device, it's the device, not me. I don't know if it was the Android 7 update or just a faulty phone but I can't seem to do anything right on this piece of garbage phone. The screen turns on randomly even when I'm not touching it. Google chrome is constantly refreshing for no reason. Spotify and other music apps stop playing music for no reason. Everything is glitchy and just doesn't work right. Tried factory restoring and that didn't help. Still tons of problems. Seems to have a problem with literally everything you tell it to do.

  • hi. i just got the update. my service provider is vodafone. im a bit worried about what will happend after the update, reg. battery life and overall functions of the device. so, pls, may you share somthing about it? thanks! manu, bucharest, ro

  • I have a j510FN dual sim in the UK will this get the update? if so do we know when is likely?

  • Thanks for giving me hope man I really thought we will be left behind!

  • Yeah and it's taking way too long

  • How do lock texts on j5 2016

  • Wait for original !! Only original !!

  • Just updated mine like 2 weeks ago. Any comment on the performance because for me, gaming makes it more laggy compared to 6.0.1. P.S. Sorry for my English because I'm a Malaysian.

  • Any news on the Nougat update for Iran? It's a shame we haven't received it yet.

  • for J510FNXXU2AQG3 still no nougat will i broke the phone if i flas it with some other J510FN nougat firm.?

  • Must wait until official update! For j510f there is 7.1.1 only for Morocco and Arab Emirates. I have flashed second over odin and regret it. After two days of bad battery and non stop pop up message "s bike mode has stopped" i went to sammobile and download original pak MM rom. Phone is much better with 6.0.1 and now i'm not sure should i update when become possible.

  • After 1 hour and20mins on active display...with date on and hotspot on..some video on youtube (around 20-30mins) i have now 76% battery from 100 before. I think its ok..my battery have over 1 year .

  • I updated mine about two weeks ago and since then i struggled with the battery life. And yesterday i decided to reset my phone again and the problem's solved, not only solved but now it's better than on mm. Youtubing for 4 hours nonstop, the battery drains about 40%, for me it's preety good.

  • Are u sure???, because after nougat update battery draining is over more..

  • I too have Samsung J5 2016. Please inform how I can get Nougat update on this model in Pakistan.

  • For those that have bad battery life on the J5, i updated mine on the 18th on december in the morning. Over the day, i barely used it and when i got home it was on 23% when on android 6.0.1 i used to come home with 60%. The solution is to reset your phone and restore your data if its backed up to the google and samsung account. After the reset, battery still wasnt too good, but after about a day the battery life started to balance out. Now, a week later, the battery is even better than before, so i'd suggest you reset the phone and wait for 1-4 days for the battery to adapt to the new software since it has to handle a lot more features and in these 1-4 days it will fully optimise itself, unless you have a bad battery. If even after a week the battery life is bad, the only solution is to visit the samsung store. For the people that are afraid of updating, don't. Everything will be fine.Hope I helped .

  • Upgrade on 26.12.17 in Romania..around 1100mb size

  • I got my Nougat update yesterday. (Indonesia) It's very nice. No issue so far.

  • Just installed the update and the only issue i got is the battery life, draining a bit faster than on MM, i hope they'll fix it soon. Everything else is fine, it's smooth and fast, though i'm not sure if it's because the nougat or the factory reset that i did. The new UI is great anyway.

I did not reset to factory settings before the update and I haven't done it after, so I don't know if it will resolve the issue. I may try it sometime.

  • Hey Rohit, I'm from India and I have a J7 2016. Slightly off-topic I understand, but I need to downgrade to Marshmallow. I updated to Nougat and don't really like it as much, hence I want to go back to MM. I looked it up and found out that 'Odin' is what I need if I'm looking to downgrade. But I've never done it before and the fact that it can possibly brick my phone if I don't do it exactly how it's supposed to be done. I can't find a step-by-step tutorial on YouTube, with do's and don't's. Is there a way I can contact you? It would be great if you could help me with it.

  • Hi. I`m from Macedonia and I have SM-J510FN. Do I will get an upgrade to nougat 7.0.1 or 7.1.1? Thanks

  • It dosent care its ur first or second imei. Type one of your imei

  • Guys. For those who can't wait. I've got trick. This doesn't brick or do anything to your phone. But keep in mind to keep the battery full and your files in a safe place. Because this process will reset your phone. *#272*IMEI# type this in the dial pad and choose a country that update released and install it. This will reset your phone. Then after go to the seetings and check the update.i am in sri lanka and got the update by this way.

  • How to activate always on display Is it not icluded in the firmware 7.1.1

  • Android 7.1.1 Nougat Updates avaible for: - SM-J510F - SM-J510FN - SM-J510H On I'm from Romania and have the indian version from 2017-11-21. Very good update. If you can't wait install it. Very fast battery ok. All apps ok. No crashes. Don't worry your phone wont be indian or whatever version you select. It has all languages and it's the same android. It's just the availability for the countries. Samsung is taking it slowly country by country.

  • Finally i got the nougat update from my J5! Mine from Malaysia. If you J5 haven't got a nougat update, be patient. All J5 will get nougat update:)

  • You lucky one... I still waiting for j510fn version in Romania.

  • hahahahahahaa

  • try to check your system updated use a wifi

  • I just flashed latest indian version. I'm from Romania. Its ok it has all languages. Works normally like romanian or english version. It works ok. I installed all apps and no bugs. But i still use nova launcher and custom themes i never liked original ones.

  • SM-J510F

  • Seriously? But why when i check mine still no update. Same here from the philippines

  • I'm interested in one thing. Is the front flash usable as a notification flash for all notifications in android 7.1.1? I used to have before this Galaxy S3 Neo. The notification led was always blinking for missed calls, sms, and other notifications, whatsapp, messenger, youtube etc. I tryed apps from playstore but they are all useless. It flashes at beginning for a few sec and thats it.

  • Already updated my phone from the Philippines here.

  • Model number??

  • just got my update for nougat and its superb!! its feels like S8!! Philippines here :)

  • no oreo update for j5 2016, nougat 7.1.1 is last update for this phone

  • will the j5 (6) get android oreo update ?

  • May be next week..

  • nice phone....

  • I didn t recive also...

  • I haven't receive 7.1.1 update on SM-J510GN. When will it officially release?

  • Samsung 8.5 experience nice ios animation feel data on after some lag...but new great feel

  • Hard reset before, hard reset after...? It's not like i have root my phone, status is always official. Nevermind, i will wait ota update but still thinking that phone is much better with 6.0.1

  • Please make sure you do hard reset of your phone (through android boot manager) before flashing, that should help. All three firmware ( INS XEO and J510F's ), no of them is buggy at all.

  • brother I think now you have received official update OTA. If you don't sharing the link below where you can find the steps and ROM (Latest Indian Build)

  • Guys why don't you download ROM from Sammobile.com and flash it via Odin. It's safe and works like a charm, I did that when nougat came in Poland for the first time to my Indian device, now when it become available to India installed the Indian Rom, no issues at all. Give it a try if you don't want to wait

  • What's up guys. Isn't the battery draining fast? Can I upgrade my OS? Which problems can I fell in bangladesh?

  • My samsung is j510f with pak firmware. Over odin i have installed 7.1.1 for j510f with firmware for united arab emirates. That was a mistake because android was buggy, batery was draining faster and all the time there was pop up message "bike mode has stopped". Not as smooth as 6.0.1, so again with odin i have installed my original pak firmware. Seems to me that samsung also in this way tested their android, because for each variant of j510 they released update in only two country. My feedback is negative!

  • No issues at all. flawless update

  • What is happening?! I dont understand why samsung isnt releasing the update on entire europe, but just on Poland and Russia? Do they care for the consumer or not?! Waiting everyday for the release in Albania.

  • Same here

  • Which model? I have J510GN and did not get the update yet.

  • I am still waiting for it in albania

  • Wait for original update..

  • Android N ... N from November :)))) ..so maybe this mounth ??

  • Really don't know. If they don't give it soon, i am going for a another brand. Just my opinion though. Waited long enough to get it. Really feel sorry about samsung

  • Might be around 8-11 november in India or not confirmed nougat in India.

  • When will nougat 7.1.1 update be available in Asia???

  • i try to install samsung j510fn noguht update on my j510gn via odin 3 butt it fails to install

  • I just saw that the J5 2016 will be getting the 7.1 or 7.0 update(It says Android 6.0,upgradable to 7.0 or 7.1) when will I expect the change?

  • Hi, is it possible to change the light level of the torch in the Quick Settings panel?

  • I flashed the ROM from Poland and all is good until now. I put some screenshots in a comment left at an article about J5 getting Adroid 7.1.1 on a roumanian tech site named gadget

  • can you tell me the process how to install Poland Rom to Indian model?

  • Are u saying u got the update?

  • samsung j5 update 7.1.1 indian mobile

  • when Nougat update in the UK? thanks

  • It's ok? I want android 7.1.1 but i'm from RO.

  • Yeah you can, I recommend to use SamFirm for pc to download fast and without registration in any website.

  • Sure

  • The new nougat firmware also has aptX support! Thanks, Samsung!

  • So I couldn't hold my till the official nougat rollout in India ended up flashing my phone with Poland (XEO) firmware from sammobile It's been a whole day I have spent and initial impressions are extremely positive, no UI lag no stuttering, everything runs so smooth like never before. Optimizations ars top notch and it runs perfectly fine with Dual SIM** (which honestly I was a bit sceptical before flashing given the europe J510FN is single sim variant, but no issues ) One big advantage of this Poland Rom over oncoming Indian one is definitely absence of unnecessary gimmicky features like Sbike, ultra data saving, ultra power saving, which to me is great and you get almost a gig or two extra usuable memory space. Sadly for J5 2016 Samsung skimmed some the features like Secure folder, blue light filter and live stickers in camera and HDR mode, but that is understandable given the hardware it has and is a good thing I would say. Kudos to Samsung for the optimization and the device feels a whole different in terms of performance than marshmallow One negative of installing poland ROM is that VoLTE won't work out of the box for Reliance Jio users, so for placing calls you have to rely on JioVoice app though data works fine

  • Can I download Nougat on my j5 2016 from SamMobile?

  • I read that someone who has the phone from Poland received the update. But the update isn't available in RO You can download it from Sammobile and flash via Odin

  • You may have the Italian version as there isn't an Albanian model. Use odin to install Russian firmware because it's the same as yours I guess. All SM-J510FN are the same thing.

  • No one knows honestly, only european units have the chance to install nougat for now.

  • There is a way dude, use odin and flash whatever rom you like.

  • Well, I didn't get it...

  • Where is Nougat gonna release in Albania for j5 2016???

  • Starting from the first release it takes 2 weeks to spread around to all countries.

  • What time is Android 7 available for the FX version? Please let me know if the person knows the date

  • Or not...

  • The same as j7 prime and j7 2016 They've included these features to A series and S series.... Cuz J series are considered low price devices!

  • Hey guys...I would like to notice you...that if someone updates his phone to nougat...then no way to downgrade to marshmallow...so think twice..

  • I flashed Russian firmware it's the same as Poland. Previously my stock rom was TIM Italy. No issues so far but marshmallow was a bit faster I think. No blue light filter and secure folder though I'm a little disappointed.

  • It s here already :)

  • Have you updated with Russia build or Poland build? You are using that device in India. Just want to know if you face any issues on Indian modal by flashing russian/poland build on it.

  • Just flashed it via odin and now my j5 is updated :)

  • In India, 7.1.1 will be available between 8-11 november. confirmed from samsung resource.

  • Is it available in INDIA? or are you asking about when will it available in india?

  • Hello. Is J5 2016 gonna receive Nougat 7.0? J7 2016 did it , so, it's just a metter of time J5 2016 's ugrade to 7.0

  • J5 2016 will not get the Android Nougat update or earlier because the chipset does not support it.

  • Tuday update softwate bat only 24mb :(

  • Source for this news?

  • J5 2017 has microUSB, not USB type-C

  • what is the arrival date nougat firmware for J5 2016 ?

  • One of the best smartphones I've ever had. In fact , I'm writing this with it.

  • Samsung galaxy j5 2017 is the best phone and you can go for it.

  • Obviously the 2017, it's better in every way and the price range is also similar Unless you like to have removable battery then go for 2016

  • I have the J5 2016 and it's really good for my. Good camera, good battery life, good screen and can run most at the games. But I still suggest the J5 2017 if you like big phones, better body shape and full metal, fingerprint and USB type C. 2017 version looks like a single piece. But even though it fits my requirements I'm considering A3 2017 ore the 2018 when it comes, smaller and compact with MID-END spec.

  • I am considering Galaxy J5 (2016) and Galaxy J5 (2017) for purchase, please which of the two is the best? I need your advise o

One day I accidently drop my phone in the glass, then suddenly i cannot slide but the phone still can on. Cannot slide means cannot use. So I off the phone and takeout the batery for 1 day. Then i put in the batery and charge my phone , after 3 hour i try to power on my phone.then I can use it again.But J5 2016 is awesome.

  • That is not normal. My phone heats only when i use data and location while running gps and it's hot outside.

  • October I think.

  • when will come in Samsung galaxy j5 2016 naugat update?

  • this what cheap phones fans do, they go to other phone brand forum and advertise cheap phones.. please god just stop this weak publicity stunt and go back to your own forum. we know what is best for us, there is a reason why apple and samsung still on top and there is a reason why every 2 - years new chinese phone brand appear. people dont care about the price , we care about quality . my s5 still running good.

  • Please Xiaomi is best phone in its price range other brands are just making money. Xiaomi is branded company not like china common brands, you can upgrade its software (when company will announce), Camera pixels are fine. Further, Quality of mobiles is also fine.

  • As you mentioned Xiaomi is cheap mobile and quality wise worst and not lost more than a year...This is Samsung forum so pls go and sell your Chinese hell to Xiaomi forums...This is not the place for you...

  • so, it doesn't have it on any variant 😜

  • no, it doesn't have led notification light

  • THE H model doesn't have LTE , get over it. Nothing u do will make it work since the H doesn't have LTE bands to support it

  • why do u need an antivirus on your phone, i have the same phone and don't use one and also the clash royale,is an intensive game it uses wifi/data a lot during gameplay, also clearing up ram in most cases will make things worse since u are cleaning out your memory meaning it'll make your phone slower since it needs to load those apps all over again, so i suggest maybe remove the antivirus and check if the phone is still heating up

  • Doubtful for indian model, may be Europe & US

  • Hi, When will J5 get nougat update in India??

  • well i have the phone and its amazing! Yes it overheats sometimes, but it depends on how much you use it and which apps do u use for example apps like musically overheats the phone but it also depends on how hot its outside cause hot wheather might increase how much the phone overheats even though u dont use any apps like that.Although if you use your phone some hours but you let it rest some others then it will be fine! Also if the phone overheats sometimes you can leave it for some minutes in a place where its quite cold like a room with the aircondition on! I tried my best to help.Thank you -Just a teenager

  • Im not sure about that. J3 (2016) took the wifi certification with android 7. If J3 (2016) gets it then J5 (2016) and J7 (2016) will get if for sure. Here is one of the MANY articles that say that SD 410 supports Android 7.

  • Unfortunately it does not..

  • That is not normal. Mine charges in about 2 hours at 100%. Take it to the service store.

  • This phone unfortunately won't see the android 7.0 update, Due to Quallacom have cut driver support for Snapdragon 410, only devices with the Snapdragon 415 + will see the update. Samsung might only give support for security patches ect.

  • Change your charger, take it stronger.

  • Does it has LED notifications? Thanks!

  • It will probably get it. K8 is a bad phone compared to this

  • How long before the j5 2016 gets updated to 7.0 nougat:-marshmallow is kinda old now and has lots of bugs

  • 7.11

  • The primary microphone is closer to the desired source (like a person's mouth). A second mic receives ambient noise. ... The circuit may employ passive or active noise canceling techniques to filter out the noise, producing an output signal that has a lower noise floor and a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

  • I don"t see any lite mode to choose.

  • ?

  • j5 2016 update 7.1.1

I want good camera and good storage and decent battery life but i'm not sure is it worth to pay more for j7 cause it's not so much better ( my opinion)

  • Is this phone going to receive the 7.0 Android update or it's not going to receive it? I see the LG K8 has received the 7.0 update,and it's running a MediaTek chipset

  • Everything is really nice for the price tag except display. Display is a bummer

  • My samsung j5 2016 has some signal issue. And also processor is not enough to paly games. (1.2ghz) How I solve my signal issue? When i using samsung j2 it had full 3g and 4g signal. After buying j5 2016 i cant connet connect internet. Plz help me.

  • cpu of 1.2gherz is really not suitable for gaming and some heavy usages.... if j5 2016 had least better cpu/gpu, i could bough this instead of j7 2016 p.s. j7 2016 is one of best midrange smartphone for the price range It handle all basic tasks and most of hd game without lagging and hanging (sometimes...you need to turn Off powersaving mode though) and batterylife is realy good.... its might too big for your hand but it wont disappoint you...maybe...

  • you know any estimated date

  • I think the speaker too slow..or anything prob on my phone..

  • Nougat 7.0 update coming soon

  • I join you, on your comment

  • 18. septembar info: web site

  • You can now move apps using android 6 ( not 5)..but you need to get an app to do this ..free on play store).

  • when its update 7.0 ?

  • When i play mp3 music from file its stopped and heard defect sound. how i fix this problem

  • j5 6 camera good or bad lile j7 prime.

  • Not suitable for gaming ...but i confuse about can i move apps to sd card..tq.sorry for bad english

  • Really? 1 - yeah , but not that weak like other phones. Still gets pretty loud. Just adjust to the highest setting. 2 - google music is built in? Or you can download the official samsung music player from the galaxy app store. Easy as that. 3 - at least it has expandable storage. Other people don't complain with 16gb on their iphones? Depends on the user. 4 - you can move the app if you go to app settings. (-_-) 5 - budget phone. And most phones get image noise in night shots. Use the led flash, adjust the aperture in low light, explore your phone. 6 - put your phone in silent or vibrate to turn off camera sounds. There aren't any setting in the camera to turn off the sounds in most phones because of a certain law. Just google it. (-_-) 7 - is it really that heavy? With a sturdier frame and a bigger battery, why complain? 8 - again, budget phone. Basic in-box accessories which do their purpose well. Don't expect Beats by Dr. Dre in them. 9 - happens to most phones when doing a lot of tasks. Imagine if the back was metal? It'd be really too hot to use. Just warm with moderate use. > just sharing my opinion too regarding your disadvantages. Don't expect high mid-range to premium performances or specs from a budget-midrange device. To others, this is more than enough. > from a J5 2016 user.

  • Is the phone heavy and does it feel good in hand......

  • Yea. It is 4G supported. I use it on Vodafone in the UK. Wouldn't recommend the phone though, you can buy so many better things for the price. I recommend the Xiaomi Redmi 4. Great phone for small price, buying that next time :)

Well, i inform you it didn't even have a scratch. Everything works perfectly. Good camera, fine speaker, and great abilities! For its price (200something dollars) this phone is the best of it's kind, don't hesitate a bit. Great as preaent too!

  • brilliant mobile

  • so even j5(6) has better camera than Redmi note 4

  • I have used both Note 4 MTK and Galaxy J5(6). Note 4 camera is good in daylight but J5(6) camera is better in both day and lowlight.

  • which phone has better camera Sanding j5 2016 or Xiaomi redmi note 4 ?

  • over all it is a average and expensive phone: Some disadvantages are: 1-Speakers sound is quite low. 2-No built-in audio player. 3-Only 16gb internal memory. 4-You can not move WhatsApp to memory card, number of WhatsApp files saves on phone storage, result! you need to mange them on daily basis otherwise phone memory will be loss (full). 5- its camera is not much impressive especially in night which seems 3.2mp. 6-No option to silent its camera sound. 7-Its a very heavy weight phone. 8-Its box accessories are not good quality accessories. 9-Some time it heats up when you use large mbs files, watching videos, games etc.

  • the phone is a great device but often gets a virus on whatsaapp overlay display can someone help me please as this virus is the second time that i get it

  • No protection glass for screen? Lcd replacement cost for samsung is too damn high..

  • Why this mobile is so heat.

  • You will have a pre-installed Skype as well as Microsoft Office apps on this mobile.

  • India

  • Yes

  • What country are you from?

  • Your points are so damn retarded. ''no auto brightness!!! (Wtf!!!!)(honestly?! In 2016???) '' yeah right like it's the 1st world problem. But it's a budget phone and it's pretty good for it's price. Don't expect S8+ performance from it.

  • can i use skype on this mobile, and does it have pdf viewer? thanks

  • j5 is 4g (lte)

  • hello, can you use skype on this phone to make calls.

  • Im using J5 6 for almost a year now. And im very satistisfied on this phone. Aside from its battery life that satisfy me .. I am also not using a memory card but i can maximize the storage and enjoy the app i want. :)

  • this is a really nice phone. do not believe the people who's saying that it takes forever to charge. because you can actually charge this phone from 1 and a half hour to 2 hours time only. has 4G coverage and USB OTG supported. At this price, what more could you ask for?

  • you're kidding me right? all samsung phone do have that symbol. its been in old nokia phone too. wash your eye and look it again. ps. if still unable to find it just download other keyboard

  • Sorry to dissapoint you but Samsung galaxy J5 2016 doesn't contain a 2 GB ram.. It has a 16GB ram but unfortunately device uses about half of it so you get about 7 or 8 GB free.. However I am currently using the device and It doesn't seem perfectly fine for me (considering with J5 old version)

  • Y there is no update in india for galaxy j5 2016?

  • you could just copy the symbol from an email or internet page and paste it in couldn't you?

  • J5 2016 has 16 gb internal nd 2gb ram external can up to 256 gb it's battery 3100 nd j5 2015 has 8gb nd 1.5 gb ram nd support up to 128 but nd 2600 mah mine phone j5 2016 is one of greatest phone I love this one

  • World's greatest phone battery timing is so good I used I phone 6 plus but this phone is better from all phone battery is a On media about 12 hours

  • battery life on this phone is awful,phone takes an age to charge,internal memory is very poor-memory card needed,would say that try phone out before parting with your cash!

  • You're sure about that? Are you using j5(2016) I can't believe that..

  • I'm from Romania, and I use this galaxy j5 2016 (duos) and it is 4g. If your phone is duos be careful and insert the sim card into Sim 1

  • Y there is no security update for j5 2016 in india... its not been updated after feb

  • Haha u rock

  • i had this issue but because im not dumb i wrote a pound sign in messages and pasted it into password bit and moved on with my day.

  • I bought Samsung J5 today.I cannot connect to WiFi because there is no £ sign which is my company password requires this symbol. Will I have to return my phone and buy a different make...

  • It is a good phone... just its quit lag little bit for some medial social apps like whatsapp and facebook

  • Problem solved after 2 days but they also changed my phone with new one!

  • Can i use jamsung j7 1016 battery in j5 2016?

  • that phone is galaxy j5 not galaxy j5 2016, galaxy j5 2016 has 16 gb internal. Check your model first.

  • that phone is galaxy j5 not galaxy j5 2016. galaxy j5 2016 has 16 gb internal. Check your model first.

  • I encountered the same memory full problem. Not recommended

  • Its a stupid phone. I have been using this for 6 months. There is a memory problem. Its internal memory is 8 GB and inbuiltvapps use 7.5 GB. I get the msg that the memory is full Nd i can't open the files. I am going to throw this phone. Please don't buy it

  • That is too bad... They should all be 4G.

  • I'm from Egypt "An Arab Country" I got to know that 4G versions are sold in Europe countries But Arab Countries have 3G versions.

  • Of course it is 4G! I get 4G in the UK, Sweden, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.

  • hello guys !! before buying this phone i was also in confusion as reading bad reviews too along with good ones !! but genuinly telling.. i have bought this phone 4 months ago and this phone is just awesome..!! 1 day or 1.5 day battery life excellent camera quality both with front and rear cameras even in low light as both camera possesses flashes with them !! no heating and hanging issues till now.. easy to handle and good looks... no issues i am not a heavy gamer and for my use its just awesome !! go for it without any doubt guys !!

  • Will my samsung j5 works great I love everything in my phone specially the screen and everything Even my data works very will i used 4g .. and its so soft touch ... I read every comments here and its all about complaining ... why did you buy it in the firts place if your nagging and complaing about it ... make sense people ... u buy it because its your choice no one forcing u to buy so stop complaing DUH #philippines

  • This phone keyboard typing speed was slow than my old phone (ON7).....

  • redmi 4

  • Dude, what can you expect from a £150 phone

  • the rotation screen is not working on my galaxy j510fn.

  • Yeah,and the worst part is that it has a trashy location service.

  • dear frnd, j5(16) is a 4G VOLTE set..but you passed a wrong comment

  • Why buying and using this phone doesn't make sense: - user experience it's so laggy, starting apps, browsing web or camera app. (Retarded android maybe?) - camera is AWEFUL!!!! My toaster can take sharper pictures than this garbage! In the day with plenty of light it's almost ok. But there is not HDR so ... forget about any dynamic range. In the night with fluorescent lighting camera squirts blurred, grainy, wrong coloured poo-like photos. And that's both for front and rear camera. They say it's 1.9mm... ok but with some crap sensor!! Ah and no stabilisation during video recording! 1080p on big screen filmed after two cups of coffe makes you sick and dizzy. - speakers is in the back (why?!!!!) and is too quiet. Anyway it doesn't produce sufficient level of sound during calls or ringing. - no auto brightness!!! (Wtf!!!!)(honestly?! In 2016???) So you can't: take standard quality photos, make videos to watch on the tv hear the ringer hear well other person during a call browse web without stuttering scrolling do anything quick with any app Hmmmm..... that's sucks right? Ah I know I can use it as my LTE router! What is it? A phone, a retarded android, flying octopus or just a PIECE OF S**T!!!! DONT BUY! Samsung you wasted my time I hate you!!!;(

  • J5 2016 or Redmi 4?

  • what is your country ?

  • It is displayed in catalogue but not samsung shop. Check this And I see negative reviews mostly for this model.

  • This phone has volte

  • i have ordered this mobile but sum people said that samsung is very bad and that it hangs is it real

  • Wrong!!, J5 2016 supports 4G and I use this phone with 4G network.

  • Unfortunately, J5 (2016) is not 4G.

  • Camara quality is very low.... Camara is bad....

  • hey.. see the link on samsung site

  • Not sure how many had noted it, Samsung India's official web shop doesn't have the page for this mobile model. Amazon/Ebay doesnt sell it. Only Flipkart has been selling it, on this blog I have read over 300 comments, most of the comments are from India are negative.

  • Can u ans.plz that both sim 4g LTE OR Single sim LTE

  • Thanks to the battery itself as it is good (3100). However, I try to save the display light (adjust it to half or less most of the time) . I enable the power saving button. I clean the ram to stop any applications working at the back. Adjust the screen timeout to 30 seconds only I turn off screen saver.

  • Ny 1 received update in delhi?

  • li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. Charge a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there. What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat. Battery consumption depends on the applications you have installed on the phone and working in the background even if you do not use the phone. such as; facebook, instagram, messenger,Snapchat,YouTube,etc; so if you delete these apps and use them through the browser , thus saving up to 40% of the battery (day)life , the display put on minimum brightness and wi - fi, 3G, bluetooth, use it when you need.

  • How can get long battary life?

  • Go on Play Store and search for Flash Alert 2. Insall it, it will start the flash and you are called or receivr a message. After you configure it go to settings, down ti Acesibility, scroll down and turn Flash Alert to On.

  • hey,may i know how u use for lasting long time for ur battery ????

  • Good phone, Got it in November 2016, Rooted and flashed custom roms... Easy to root and easily fixable if something goes rom, I recommend this phone for root users much as to normal users :)

  • last 3 days. from malaysia. did u know this update for what??

  • I bought my J5 2016 since two weeks. It's fantastic. I'm very satisfied & happy with it. No lag. Long life battery. It takes two hours to charge 100% . Battery stays for 1.5 day with moderate usage & 1 day with internet usage. Good camera . Good selfie plus there is a selfie flash. enough memory space. easy to handle. very good display. good design . good price . high sound in calls , videos & you tube . It comes with free internal 10.5 GB. Ram 2 GB is very good & the remaining ram usually 1.2 GB which is very nice Actually I don't mind absence of notification light or button lights. I recommend it for all.

  • Can you let me know the build number of your device after this update?

  • When did you get this update and you are from which country?

  • i have got an update notification about 71 mb. what is update for?

  • This phone is OTG suppoted.

  • Can you let me know the build number of your device after this update?

  • INDIA... try updatng tommorow... u will receive the security update

  • Hey you are from India or any other country. In India i did not get any update in the month of March 2017

  • Using this phone now for more than 2 weeks. Everything is fine. Pretty decent smartphone. No real lags noticed, good battery, good screen, fast and responsive. Only issue is there is no notification light. If that is no issue for you then buy this phone.

  • Sound is bit low!

  • No options for OTG

  • Loudspeaker sound too low and microphone sound also low

  • Microphone sound low and other speaker too

  • That will be security update

  • My also same issue And my front camera is not good While taking selfie faces makes oval Not happy with this samsung j5 2016 model

  • It is a very good phone Doesn't lag I have it(bought it) I like it very much The best part is cause it suppports version 7 nougat(the new version) But it will appear in august

  • I have bought this phone before 5 months, and I would recommend it. Long battery life with medium usage, very responsive, it never freeze or delay during commands, perfect design (i own the golden color). The only thing negative for this kind of phone, is that it takes to long to fully recharge, aprox 2 hours to 100%, but it worth, since it needs to be charged once per 3 days for me.

  • For me, it's not 100 mb. It's around 450 mb. I've downloaded it but have not installed it yet. I want to see what others' experiences are with the update. In case it's problematic, I will not install it at all.

  • samsung j5 prime is more great

  • Hi, can someone tell me how do I enable the use of a stylus on this phone, been struggling to.

  • No, still Marshmallow.

  • If it is 100 mb then it will b security update not os

  • Very slow phone. I contacted Samsung tech support and was told that the OS takes a lot of RAM leaving very little for applications to be able to run.

  • can anyone recommend me to buy this phone? is it good?

  • i forget. it's about 1xx Mb. unfortunately the old version has better battery life but the new version wasnt bad at all. it still good.

  • Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) Speed: HSPA 21.1/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Speed: HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps Is this correct? J3 (2016) model supports more speed than J5 (2016)?

  • What is the software versiona nd size?

  • There is an update. Did any 1 updated. Is it nougat

  • Very nice features. Battery uses live long. And fast charging. Camera, display also nice.I love Super Amoled display. Fantastic phone in cheap price.I am satisfied I am a big fan of Samsung

  • i have updated software yesterday officially by samsung, i forget the version, since updating the battery life is drained faster than before, i dont know why. Device performance is same no change, still good. So basically whats the purpose updating the new software? fixing the issues? nope ! i have poor battery life now.

  • Awesome Device!! Completely Satisfied

  • Apple, Huawei, HTC, Samsung, Motorola they're all the same. All phones are overpriced and really only cost around £50-£100 (or whatever currency you use) to make. It's all about the brand, the more popular the more expensive.

  • Has anybody installed the update released for this phone hours ago? Is it the Android N os?

  • Is there an update to 7.1 ?

  • Update nougat ???

  • worse phone ever.. :( it takes a lot of time to charge...in half an hour it charge its battery just 2%....

  • For now i got 822MB ram free. Bu there are few third party apps working in the background.

  • Yes, this phone supports OTG. I have tested by myself with fat32 and exfat formated usb flash drives.

  • Very good phone (european version). Works like charm. No problems found so far. After update (2016 december version), doesn't make it slower or something.

  • bad ever phone, it is my first time to used Samsung phone and I'm so disappointed, to slow and sometimes other apps keeps log. so apset.

  • I feel the worst thing with Samsung is its AMOLED display which makes contents look artificial. Sometimes the images stray far off from the reality. What about the IPS LCD? It usually produces life-like images. There is no sensible reason to rank the AMOLED over the IPS LCD.

  • around 700 - 900mb free available mostly..

  • otg support or nott

  • I bought j5 6 phone but it has many problem. It doesn't support jio sim properly and the best problem it has no fingerprint lock so I very disappointed from in this phone. Its processor is very general and old. So it is overall very bad phone. Don't buy this phone

  • Just wait for Nokia 3 & 5 good brand as well as value for money devices

  • so what kind of brand would you suggest? especially in midrange cost cheap

  • Dont buy samsung midrange phones. Thease are overpriced and underpowered. They charged you 2 to 3 times more then its cost for their brand value. Lacs of nessesory sensors is policy of samsung to promot their flagship phones only.

  • I've been use samsung hp since forever..but i have one thing to tell you guys, this phone is not good in gaming . . Farewell

  • Please tell me how much of RAM is free on this device out of 2gb

  • don't compare xiaomi to samsung mobile.. hahaha.. samsung is best

  • You can buy a Samsung code from eBay(dot)com. They're really cheap. Ask the seller to help you. We don't have phones locked to a carrier in Italy. Never had, since it has always been against the law.

  • Say No to Samsung, Say Yes to Xiaomi. Xiaomi can dominate Samsung when we look a their price. Xiaomi come latest technologize which you can get just 15k but Samsung 15k will be worse phone like heating, hanging, unable to play Games etc....

  • i want to tell you all something thant everyone has his opinion of mobiles so do not listen to these bad opinions a d go to a mobile shop and test the mobile yòu want

  • my opinion of j 2016 is good because my cousin and my friends have it and it is working good and i tested j7 2016 it is too fast and has a good camera but i am afraid to buy j5 2016 or any other mobile haviñg j5 2016 specs.

  • Please help me... if anyone had know how to unlock sim network pin in this phone please tell me thank you... And i want to know how to check what is the carrier network of a brand new phone.. it's bought from italy..

  • j5 2016 or a3 2016 ?and why

  • I just realised it even does not have a simple compass, nor gyroscope. No 360° in these days? I feel ripped off. I mean my older phone at least had a compass and i could play VR games.

  • I just realised it does not have, not only gyroscope, but even a compass. I felt ripped off. No 360° in these days? Im really upset with Samsung.

  • I have j5 2016 Every thing is good. I have a problem its rear or back camera focus too late Shows blurry screen Even delete cache data

  • you never know what happen in to a device from another person. you dont know the real abuse of the device and all the battery loss or the problems that might have or will have.++ the guaranty of a new from zero time to your hands. with a used you will have sorter guaranty and less time to react in a problem if it happen. new is the better solution(for me at least) for electronics of all type.
