This one's an older mid-ranger built around a Snapdragon 410 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, so don't expect it to handle heavy multitasking or newer apps smoothly. The 16GB internal storage is on the tight side too, though a dedicated microSD slot lets you add up to 128GB if needed. Where it does stand out is the 5.2-inch Super AMOLED screen, which gives noticeably deeper blacks and richer colour than the LCD panels common at this price tier back then.

Camera-wise, you get a 13MP rear shooter with f/1.9 aperture and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera that also has its own flash, a nice touch for selfies in dim lighting. The 3100mAh battery is removable, which some buyers still appreciate for swapping cells instead of relying on a fixed pack. Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM1000, and it ships with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box.

It comes in White, Black, Gold and Rose Gold, and at 159g with an 8.1mm profile, it's light enough for everyday carrying without feeling flimsy.
