The Galaxy J5 (2017) was unveiled last month alongside the Galaxy J3 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) and for a budget-friendly device, it's actually pretty impressive, sporting a durable metal frame, a responsive fingerprint sensor, a colossal 13MP selfie camera and a fairly beefy 3,000mAh battery.

Sure, the Galaxy J5 (2017) isn't going to win any awards when it comes to power, but it's certainly no slouch. Under the hood, it packs a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.6GHz Exynos 7870 Octa CPU, a Mali-T830 MP2 GPU, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear-facing camera equipped with autofocus.
As the handset launched on the other side of the pond a little less than a month ago, we've had an opportunity to try it out and as we noted in our hands-on piece, we were pleasantly surprised by how snappy and solid it feels for a device that costs less than €280 ($320) in Europe.
