Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro Review, PKR.31,999/-, 16GB ROM, 2GB RAM, 13MP back camera lens, 13MP front camera lens, Android 7.1 Nougat, Expensive Device..Read more
The ever-popular Samsung Galaxy J5 has been upgraded for 2017 with a full metal body, and a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button. It's a smart, slim phone with a good-sized 5.2 inch AMOLED screen and fast performance from its 8-core Exynos processor. The new 13 megapixel front camera will be welcomed by selfie fans, and battery life remains strong. It's a good all-rounder, but we'd like to see the price fall.Read more
