1412403 2015-12-06 03:19:00 What do you guys think about this low-end phone (www.harveynorman.co.nz)?

I am bored with my old iPhone 4!

Your views are much appreciated.

Cheers

If you want to run your whole life from a phone, then maybe better options.

I was given for free a GalaxyS4 Mini from the bank after I kicked up a big fuss about their new Mobile eftpos not working on certain phones as it was advertised. It works great for what its used for -- Phone calls, txting, taking the odd picture and of course Mobile Eftpos.

1412407 2015-12-06 07:04:00 The iPhone 4 was given to me by my bro from Singapore, it's getting very slow in responding and the screen is small compare to this J5.

Frankly, I don't like the iPhone at all but since it was FREE, and my Nokia has developed some problems at the time, why not just take it; and I have been using it for 2+ years already.

I am looking for a bigger screen and not prepared to pay too much, as a senior citizen. :)

Nick G, can you please elaborate a little further to support your view? Thanks.

The J5 is way overpriced for its specs, and Touchwiz isn't great on lower specced phones.

CheersI like it. I seems similar or even better than my Galaxy S4 Mini which I'm really happy with, and the price is right.

1412411 2015-12-06 20:13:00 Its NOT 'crap'.

Ive owned 3 low end Samsung Galaxy's . ALL are lower spec than the J5
Young
Ace
Express (still using it)

Even the lowest end bottom of the range had no issues with touchwiz. In fact I had no issues with any of them (aprt from screen size). There just a limit as to what games they will play .
The express is a great ph, despite being lower spec than the J5. It does everything I want, youtube,email,camera, games, & works as a ph.

So the J5 would be a great phone . Dont be caught up in the 'need to have high system specs' BS. Its a ph, you dont need alot
of grunt to run a phone .
And the J5 has 5" HD Super AMOLED Screen , I wouldnt buy another Samsung unless it had the AMOLED Screen .

Im not a Samsung fanboy btw. On the low end ph's , you will never get Android updates for it.
Samsung pretty much just release & then abandon their lower end ph's .

My boy has one of these and when he is here at Christmas I'm going to try my 2 degrees sim in it and see if it works as I won't one but won't to stay on 2D
