As the cheap mobile phone market gets hotter and hotter, Samsung needs to come up with the best products to prove itself. The recently released Galaxy J2 (2016 version) has not left a deep impression on us, so now let's take a look at On5 Pro and On7 Pro. No change.


design

The industrial design of the Galaxy On5 Pro and On7 Pro is no different from other Samsung phones. There are black and gold to choose from. No matter what you choose, the colors on the front and rear panels will be the same.

The front panel has a handset, front camera, and distance sensor above it, and there are three buttons below, which are Multi-tasking, Home, and Back. Only the Home button is the physical button, and the other two are touch-sensitive. The two buttons do not have a backlight, and pressing it at night can be a bit tricky.
The screen border is an aluminum alloy, but with a layer of coating on it, it feels smooth and looks like there is a transparent film attached to it.

The right side of the fuselage has a power button and a volume button, the bottom of the fuselage is the headphone jack and mircoUSB port. The back of the fuselage looks like leather, but as long as you touch it, you know it is plastic, but it is a low-cost mobile phone after all, and it cannot be too harsh. Remove the back cover, which is a replaceable battery, dual SIM card and SD card slot.

Thanks to the use of a metal frame, these two phones feel more comfortable than the Galaxy J2! And On5 Pro is even cheaper than J2.


screen

The Galaxy On5 Pro and On7 Pro use 5-inch and 5.5-inch screens respectively. The two screens are 720P. The screen is made of IPS LCD. The term "enough to use" can be used to describe the two screens. The two screens have no problem viewing in an indoor environment, but when they go outdoors, they feel that they are dead. The two screens are particularly bright and bright, and they feel like imitating AMOLED, especially on On5 Pro's screen, which is a bit too full of colors. The color performance is generally the same and the two screens are not as good as the Galaxy J5 and J7 released this year. But for a penny, you can only say that the performance is in line with this price.

One thing that we cannot accept is that Samsung has reduced its materials in order to reduce costs. The two screens do not have oleophobic layers! Especially when outdoors, the screen always looks dirty, which makes it impossible to read the information clearly. And, neither phone has a light sensor! In the end, the touch screen supports only two fingers at most. If you touch the screen with three fingers, you almost can't find it. In fact, with these things will not let Samsung bleeding, but it can give users a better experience, and sometimes you will wonder if they are brain burned ~


software

Both the Galaxy On5 Pro and On7 Pro are shipped with Android 6.0.1 marshmallow system. Of course, there is Samsung's exclusive UI, but Samsung has already lost a lot of bloated things on the system. After all, these two phones have limited memory. .

On5 Pro does not come with Microsoft software. Unfortunately, on the On7 Pro, it means that Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive and Skype will always be with you and cannot be deleted. Although both phones have 16GB of storage space, On5 Pro has about 10GB of space left after booting, while On7 Pro has about 8.6GB left because it comes with too much software preinstalled.

By the way, there is a "S Bike Mode" mode. This mode is suitable when you are riding a bicycle. When you turn on this mode, other important calls (self settings) can be entered in addition to other calls. Filtered out is not displayed (or intelligent automatic reply is set), allowing you to focus on riding and more secure.

performance

In terms of data connection, these two phones have WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, 4G LTE, dual SIM dual standby, but do not support VoLTE (high quality voice calls / Internet access while making a call). Also, these two machines do not have built-in magnetometers and accelerators, so they can't give you directions when using maps. All kinds of VR or AR game software can't play.

On the hardware side, the Galaxy On5 Pro is equipped with Samsung's Exynos 3 Quad quad-core Cortex-A7 clocked at 1.3GHz and the GPU is the Mail-T720.

(On5 Pro detailed parameters)

The Galaxy On7 Pro is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.2GHz and a GPU Adreno 306. Both phones have 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage.

(Details of On7 Pro)

For such a dregs processor and a small poor memory, we did not expect them to bring surprises, and the result was indeed the case. Although they have different GPUs, they perform almost identically in image performance tests. In all tests, the Xiaolong 410 of the On7 Pro was clearly more dominant (except for the Ann Bunny).

In daily use, the two machines are not used quickly or smoothly, but they are sufficient. As long as you don't run too many apps at the same time, 2GB of memory will satisfy your basic multitasking. In terms of games, you don't expect too much. Basic games can only be run with low effects/low resolution.


camera

The Galaxy On5 Pro and On7 Pro feature 8-megapixel and 13-megapixel main cameras respectively.

The only presence of the camera on the On5 Pro is meaningless. Image quality slag is not enough, detail loss is very serious, latitude performance is weak, and noise is also a lot.

(On5 Pro proofs)

On7 Pro, on the other hand, performed well and even exceeded our expectations a little bit. It was very sincere to see that On5 Pro was the ultimate low-cost handset.

(On7 Pro sample)

Both mobile phones can record 1080P video, and the recording effect is relatively smooth, but I don't know why. Even on the On5 Pro, even if we set it to 1080P, we still recorded 720P, which may be a bug in the system.


to sum up

Galaxy On5 Pro and On7 Pro are still Samsung's more sincere products. Both handsets can meet the daily needs of most users. Since the listing of the Galaxy J2, it can be seen that the entire cheap mobile phone market is very competitive and there are so many mobile phone manufacturers. It is very important to come up with a good-looking and easy-to-use product. At this price point, manufacturers are now investing a great deal of effort to seize the market. Samsung is undoubtedly also accelerating. Galaxy On5 Pro is priced at US$137 (approximately 910 yuan) and On7 Pro is priced at US$167 (approximately RMB1100). ) At this price point, Redmi Note 3 indicates that the performance is even stronger, so even if On5 Pro and On7 Pro are two fairly good handsets, but you look at the entire cheap market, I think they may not become Your preferred product.
