The Galaxy On5 has a 5-inch TFT display with a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of around 294 PPI. Even though the display is smaller than the On7, the pixel density better. The display is bright, has decent viewing angles and offers vibrant color output. The sunlight legibility is good too, but it is not as good as the Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy J2 that is also priced similar. This doesn’t have a scratch resistant glass hence it is prone to scratches. The smartphone is 72.1mm wide and 142.3mm tall, and weights 149 grams, almost similar to most of the 5-inch smartphones.On the top there is a 5-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture with wide-selfie that captures 120-degree wide panorama to accommodate more people. Images from the front camera have a lot noise if the lightning is poor and doesn’t have much details. It has a proximity sensor next to the earpiece, but the smartphone lacks an ambient light sensor, even though there is a cutout for it. It also lacks notification LED that is present on most of the smartphones in this price range.
Since it doesn’t have an ambient light sensor you have to adjust the brightness manually using the slider depending on the conditions. There is an outdoor mode option that increases the brightness for 15 minutes or until the screen is turned off.
