Samsung has been turning heads for over a while with its premium Galaxy S6 Edge and the recently launched Galaxy S6 Edge Plus globally. The flagships are distinctively designed, have amazing cameras, brilliant displays but come with a hefty price tag. And the Korean tech giant was somewhat losing the game in the budget category as there were no potential contenders from the smartphone maker to fight the likes of Moto G, Xiaomi Mi and Lenovo’s smartphones.
Therefore, knowing the fact that the sub-15k price category is one of the hottest in the Indian market, Samsung has introduced two affordable smartphones under the new Galaxy J series in this price segment. Priced at Rs 14, 999 and Rs 11, 999, respectively, the Galaxy J7 and J5 feature decent specifications and will compete with the myriad of Chinese and domestic smartphones that comes at an affordable price.
We got the younger sibling- the Galaxy J5 for review and this smartphone seems to be a value for money deal. So, let’s dig deep and find out whether the smartphone is a threat to Xiaomi’s and Moto G’s reign or not.
