Samsung has finally learned pricing for its mid-range smartphones. The Galaxy J5 is perfectly priced at Rs. 11,990 and comes with a Super AMOLED display, 4G LTE support, decent set of cameras running the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop right out of the box. So that should make it one of the best smartphones in its price range? But it doesn't. The Galaxy J5 is missing basic sensors, its design is quite outdated and the speakerphone here is quite tinny. Moreover, the competition has been getting better without Samsung giving them much credit.
