Samsung Galaxy On5

The Samsung Galaxy On5 is an input terminal from the Korean company. This smartphone is committed to the 5-inch format with HD resolution , integrates an 8 megapixel rear camera and sports the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system . But above all, there are three strengths that make this phone attractive. On the one hand, the Korean company has taken great care in its design with colors in gold and white and a casing that imitates the skin of the same color. Its 5 megapixel front camera also stands out , which should give us a good result in our usual selfies. And the third supporting stone is a 2,600 milliamp batterywhich is above what models of this size usually offer (1,800-2,000 milliamps) and which follows in the wake of other proposals such as the Lenovo P1m . At the moment we do not have details on its price or the official launch date outside China, the first market in which it will be released. We tell you all the details in a thorough analysis.

Design and display

Despite being before an entry model, the Korean company has taken special care of the design of this model. Users will be able to find it in two configurations, one in gold and one in white . In both cases, the front area wears this color and in the back we will have a case that imitates the touch of skin and that gave such a good result in models like the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 . In addition, we also have one side with a metallic look that closes a design with a premium appearance and that users who choose the On5 will greatly appreciate. The full measurements of the Samsung smartphone stand at 72.1 x 142.3 x 8.2 millimeters. This finesse of8.2 millimeters is a fairly competitive figure, although far from the brand's thinnest terminals such as the Samsung Galaxy A8 . By the way, its weight goes up to 149 grams.

In the field of the screen, we find a TFT panel with a size of 5 inches (the most widespread format among entry and mid-range equipment) and HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This resolution gives us a density of 293 dots per inch, a medium level of detail that will be sufficient for regular use of YouTube apps, games and videos.

Photographic camera

The photographic section of this terminal is particularly remarkable for its front camera, which achieves a resolution of 5 megapixels . It is a lens that should give us a good performance when taking selfies. On the back, we have an 8 megapixel lens with LED flash , autofocus and the ability to record video in high resolution of 1080p.

Memory and power

To run smoothly, the Samsung Galaxy On5 uses the company's own quad-core processor and a power of 1.3 GHz per core. This chip is combined with a 1.5 GB RAM memory to create a humble technical set, although it should be enough to run the vast majority of apps and games available on the Android platform without much problem. In addition, that little extra in RAM is appreciated to be able to run a greater number of processes at the same time without slowing down performance. On the other hand, the internal memory of the Galaxy On5 goes up to 8 GB. If we put aside the space used by the operating system and pre-installed applications, that leaves us with an available space to save our files of 4.9 GB . This capacity can be expanded through a MicroSD memory card of up to 128 GB , or by an online storage system such as Dropbox or Google Drive .

Operating system and applications

The chosen operating system is Android 5.1 Lollipop. Google's platform was revamped to incorporate Material Design's design concepts , with a more colorful interface and more rounded icons. But above all, where the change is noticeable is in the greater agility of the Android menus and a more intuitive placement of them. Visually, another of the changes that is appreciated is a new design of the tool to switch between open applications. In addition, with this version you can know the approximate charging time that remains to have the battery full. SamsungIt has also wanted to incorporate its grain of sand with its own apps. Among them, two should be highlighted in a special way. On the one hand, Samsung Smart Manager , an assistant that serves to free up RAM, disk space and protect the terminal. On the other hand, Samsung Milk Music is an on-demand music service that promises to give a lot of war.

Connections

Within the section of connections, one of the main attractions of this equipment is the presence of a double slot to insert SIM cards. Of course, it must be taken into account that one of these slots will be compatible with high-speed 4G networks of up to 150 Mbps, while the other is only compatible with 2G (calls). To connect to the network, we can also use WiFi connectivity . Other connections on the Samsung Galaxy On5 include Bluetooth 4.1 to sync compatible devices, GPS to navigate anywhere, and a MicroUSB port.to charge the terminal or exchange files with the computer.

Autonomy, price and opinions

The Galaxy On5 uses a 2,600 milliamp battery . This is a capacity that is above what devices of this size usually mark, which should allow us a longer use of the terminal. Of course, at the moment the company has not given specific data on its autonomy in operation (only the data of 294 hours in rest is given ). Nor do we know for now when it will make the jump from the Chinese market to other countries such as Spain or its official price. In short, an entrance terminal that perfectly reflects the new trend of this type of equipment to offer a more careful and attractive design. In addition, its strengths are its 5 megapixel front camerafor selfies, its extended battery or the ability to use two SIM cards at the same time.
