Samsung on Tuesday unveiled its latest Galaxy On
series smartphones, the Galaxy On5 and On7, in
India. The company is pushing these new models as value for money devices, and
is targeting young consumers. Priced aggressively, the new On-series
smartphones pack features including Ultra Data Saving (UDS) and MixRadio as well
as 4G LTE support.
The South Korean company has launched these budget Android
handsets after spending the past few months pushing its high-end Galaxy lineup
- the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy
Note 5. Samsung also unveiled the Z3 in India last month, powered by Tizen OS.
We spent some time with the new Samsung
Galaxy On5 and Galaxy
On7 smartphones at the launch event and here are our first
impressions.
When we first looked at the new Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7
smartphones, the dated Galaxy design was evident. Both models have identical
front and back panels. Apart from the screen size, there is no visible
difference between the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7. The biggest advantage however
is the use of metal frames, which give the handsets a sturdy feel.
On both phones, the signature physical Home button is just below
the screen, accompanied by capacitive buttons for Back and Recents. A Samsung logo is placed above the screen with the front camera and
the sensors. The rear has a leather-styled finish, and here you'll find the
primary camera, LED flash, and speaker grille. The volume rocker is on the
left, while the power button is on the right. Of the two, the Galaxy On5 was
easier to hold and use with just one hand.
Looking at the specifications, the Galaxy On5 features a 5-inch
HD (720x1280 pixel) TFT display and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos
3475 processor coupled with 1.5GB of RAM. It sports an 8-megapixel rear
autofocus camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. It has 8GB of built-in storage
that is expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). Connectivity options on the
Galaxy On5 include 4G LTE (with support for Indian LTE bands), Bluetooth, GPS,
Glonass, Micro-USB, 3G, GPRS/EDGE, and Wi-Fi b/g/n. It has a 2600mAh battery,
measures 142.3x72.1x8.5mm, and weighs 149 grams.
The Galaxy On7 features nearly identical specifications to the
Galaxy On5, except for a larger display, different processor and larger
battery, as well as a higher resolution rear camera sensor. It has a 5.5-inch
HD (720x1280 pixel) TFT display and runs on a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 410 processor with 1.5GB of RAM. It sports a 13-megapixel rear
autofocus camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. Similar to the Galaxy On5, the
Galaxy On7 has 8GB of built-in storage that's expandable via microSD card (up
to 128GB). It runs on a 3000mAh battery, measures 151.8x77.5x8.2mm, and weighs
172 grams.
The displays on both Galaxy On-series models are not the usual
Amoled panels and we could see the difference. The text and images produced on
the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7 were sharp, but deep blacks were missing. The
viewing angles on the both handsets were also average.
In our limited time spent with the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7, we
found both devices responded quickly to touch inputs, and there was no lag when
using the handsets. We will reserve our verdict on the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy
On7 smartphones' performance till we get a chance to put them through our
detailed review process.
Running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, both the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy
On7 are skinned with Samsung's TouchWiz UI. While browsing through the menu and
preloaded apps, one of the biggest takeaways was that there is a lot less of
Samsung's bloatware then there has been before. The Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7
have only a few preloaded apps; a trend which was started with the Samsung
Galaxy S6. Notably, there are
no Microsoft apps preloaded on these handsets, hinting that the
companies' agreement to push the apps might only apply to high-end Galaxy
phones. Both the On-series models featured a Google folder on the home screen
housing all the Google apps.
On the software front, Samsung also advertises that the Ultra
Data Saving (UDS) mode will help users save up to 40 percent on data usage when
streaming videos, shopping online, or downloading files. The MixRadio app means
that Samsung On5 and On7 users will get access to 30 million songs across
different languages.
Coming to the camera, the app on both the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy
On7 smartphones was quick and launched within a few seconds of touching its
icon. The camera interface on the new On-series handsets is uncluttered. The
option to choose modes, switch between the front and rear cameras, capture
images or video, and jump to the gallery are all located on one side of the
screen while the other shows general settings for camera.
In our limited testing of the cameras, we found images taken
with the Galaxy On7 in normal indoor lighting to be crisp, though the same
couldn't be said for the On5. The front cameras on both devices seems have the
same sensor as we got nearly identical results on both. Once again, we will
really get a chance to test the camera under varied conditions only when we
conduct a full review.
The Samsung Galaxy On5 has been priced at Rs. 8,990, while the
Samsung Galaxy On7 will sell at Rs. 10,990. Considering that Samsung has
launched the two models during the festive season, we can expect the company to
promote and market them on a large scale.
Both devices will face stiff competition from the likes of the , Meizu
m2 Note, Lenovo K3 Note, XiaomiRedmi 2 Prime, and Coolpad Note 3
