It's a shame to end on the slight downer of the camera because it's the only area where the Samsung Galaxy J5 puts a foot wrong as far as I'm concerned. Usually, when I've reviewed a budget handset, I'm extremely eager to get back to my own phone, but in...

Sign up for our daily newsletter The Samsung Galaxy J5 is something of a dark horse. This budget smartphone has received so little attention that not even Samsung's own PR team knew about its existence. The company's previous budget offerings have been n...
