The Samsung Galaxy On5 alongside the Samsung Galaxy On5 Pro represent Android smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. The Galaxy On5 was initially unveiled in October of 2015 and became available the following month,[1] whereas the Galaxy On5 Pro was both announced and launched in July of the subsequent year.[2] The primary distinction between these two models lies in their respective memory specifications.[2]
Design
The device features a glass front panel, complemented by a matte plastic frame and a rear cover crafted from plastic with a leather-like finish.
Located at the base of the smartphone are the microUSB port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a microphone. The left side houses the volume control buttons, while the power key is positioned on the right. The front face contains the display along with the brand logo, an earpiece speaker, and sensors for proximity and ambient light situated above it, accompanied by a front-facing camera. Below the screen are three navigation buttons: one physical home button and two touch-sensitive buttons for recent apps and back functions. On the rear panel, users will find the logo, a rear camera, an LED flash, and a speaker. Beneath the removable back cover lies a dual Micro-SIM slot (with a single Nano-SIM slot in the T-Mobile/MetroPCS variant) alongside a memory card slot.
These smartphones were offered in two color variants: Black and Gold.
