  • Brilliant phone, very fast, big screen, light and easy to hold.
  • I'm very happy with my Samsung Galaxy J5. It loads apps almost instantly. I experience no freezing and lagging.
  • Having previously owned an s6, there is zero difference between the performance of this and my last phone. Runs just as fast with no lagging.
  • Great mobile with everything needed; fast, responsive and very easy to use.
  • It's pretty fast (more than adequate for my needs) and reliable (unlike the A3!) and has a decent amount of on-board memory.
