I wish I could change the battery of this phone easily and still use it for basic use. The internal (nothing bad with external) build quality of this phone sucks though. I guess I gotta get a very cheap xcover 5 for considerable size or something

However the phone is durable, I like that it was made of aluminum. Once I gave it to my brother and he dropped it and all it did was just a tiny dent that you can live with. Nowadays, non-rugged budget phone aren't as durable anymore

as of 2024, don't buy it anymore.
Chrome can load only one tab, and if you switch to another then it restarts page on another page.
Didn't had much luck with other browsers either, on Opera it can have 3-4 tabs, before it start slowing down.
And when it clears RAM, it needs to load page on browser, it closes your other apps.
Also encountered issues with random lags, I suspect it's OneUI skin issue, as samsung historically had issues with performance due to it's custom skin they apply.
So, not good for 2024 anymore. Will random lag, even if you don't actively use any apps, just because you have some apps, and you're easily fill up internal memory due to apps taking 400 Mb these days...
So it quickly get to 15.5 Gb memory, with few apps, and filled up memory slows phone on random lags even more...

Mo, 07 Feb 2024Did you find solution for this restart ?phone restarts whenever the free space goes beneath 2GB. Solution:
- disable all unused factory apps
- transfer subsequently installed apps to SD card
- disable automatic updates, as during update app goes to system storage, not to SD card
- install cache cleaner.

this phone being upgraded to android 9 is so bad. it decreases the performance and i can see it. i have the 16GB version and the os itself takes up 10GB storage. you cant downgrade it to android 7 with odin because the bootloader is updated as well

i bought this back in early 2018 when my HTC A9 broke and i didn't have much money to buy a new phone. Coming from that piece of crap I was amazed at how good this cheap Samsung phone was; zero bugs,good battery, good software support, great thermals, reliable fingerprint reader, and it just worked with no questions asked. screen broke in late 2020 and i decided to upgrade rather than fix it but was a bit disappointed that the a71 I bought didn't give me the same experience.

I bought mine back in 2017 and until today, halfway through 2023 it still does what it's supposed to do, so good quality and durable hardware. The only limitation that bugs me is the 16 GB storage is a lot less than you think because a huge chunk (something like 14 GB) of it is taken up by the OS itself and the mandatory bloatware (non essential default installed apps that can't be removed) that comes with it. The storage feels constrained even if you don't keep your photos and videos on the internal storage.

I have this J5 for over the year.
great photos, relatively fast, does the job.
The only issue is that it randomly, once a week or two weeks, does the some kind of soft restart while it's turned on. It shuts down and turns on within thirty seconds and afterwards works ok.
No matter if the battery is 100% or any less, it's kind of annoying when it happens, especially if I wanna make a call. Does anyone has similar issue?
