Design
The most notable feature is the Home button. The Home button has been made pressure detectable with the new Taptic engine instead of a regular click, This feature takes time for the user to adapt as the whole bottom of the phone shakes at times. The Headphone jack has been removed which is slightly disappointing.

The Galaxy J5 is akin to Samsung's earlier flagship devices like the Galaxy S4, S3 and a number of Duos smartphones. The design isn't quite appealing and seems to be a but monotonous alongside being a typical Samsung-ish design. It has a removable rear panel that covers the removable battery unit alongside housing the two SIM card slots and a microSD card slot. The build quality is decent with the glossy plastic touch of the previous Galaxy devices gone. The rear has a matte finish keeping it safe from the regular fingerprint smudges, additionally making it feel good in hands as well. The edges have a chrome metal band running around, making it shine a lot but fails to add a premium feel. Something more subtle should have sufficed the overall looks. The band houses the volume rockers on the left in contrast to the power button on the right and accompanying them are microphone, USB charging port and the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom. The compactness of the J5 coupled with just rightly placed buttons seem to provide the Galaxy J5 a better grip. The size of the J5 is just perfect for your thumb to reach any part of the display, giving a comfy feeling even while using it with one hand. The Samsung Galaxy J5's closest rival is the 3 rd generation Moto G, which throttles the J5 with its exquisite design making it a definitely better-looking smartphone and to add to the list is the IPX7 rating that makes the device durable and conducive for rough-and-tough usage. This is the USP for the Moto G which is lacking on the Galaxy J5.
