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

Product Information

Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. Battery The batteries of mobile devices differ in capacity and technology. They provide the electrical charge needed for the functioning of the devices. Capacity The phone is powered by Exynos 7870 Octa, a 1.6GHz Octa Core processor, Mali-T830 MP1 GPU and 2GB RAM with 16GB of internal storage and a 3000 mAh battery. Another version of the phone, the Galaxy J5 Pro was released for the Malaysian market with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, while the other specifications are the same. There is the option to expand the storage capacity, up to 256 GB with a MicroSD card. The introduction of the fingerprint Sensor and Samsung Pay(selected models) was also a first in the lower mid-range J series of smartphones by Samsung. The Galaxy J5 also sports dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi network capability, which allows it to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks for fast internet access. Also a first in the J5(non prime) series is the metal construction, which gives a premium feel to the phone. CPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.

Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging.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. Information about the dimensions of the image sensor used in the device. Usually cameras with larger sensors and less pixel density tend to provide better image quality despite the lower resolution.

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. A CPU core is the processor unit, which executes software instructions. Presently, besides single-core processors, there are dual-core, quad-core, hexa-core and so on multi-core processors. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel. Actually, it was not my first time flashing /e/ as I’m proudly using it for several months now on my SM-A520F. 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. 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.

Terms & Conditions

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. My last chinese budget phone had a notification light at the front. It was called Harlequin I think. It was handy to see if a message or a call had come through. Even though the phone looks like there is a notification light on the front I havn't managed to find a software setting to activate it. Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 2G cellular network. Crop factor is the ratio of the dimensions of a full frame camera's sensor (36 x 24 mm, which equals the frame size of a 35 mm film) and the dimensions of the image sensor of the device. The number shown is the ratio between the diagonals of a full frame sensor (43.3 mm) and the sensor in question.
