Samsung released its much awaited Galaxy J5 2016 edition along with the J7 2016. However, the company had released similar smartphone in 2015 as well. In this article, we will compare the specifications and features of two devices.
The 2016 version of Samsung Galaxy J5 features S bike mode, which will automatically notify you when there is an urgent call alert. If you active the mode, a pre-recorded message will inform the caller that the person you are trying to call is currently on a ride. The device has been manufactured in such a way that the bike rider will be able to speak only if he stops the bike safely. The 2015 edition doesn’t include this feature, which is extremely useful to prevent road accidents.
Display
While the Samsung Galaxy J5 2015 features a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 294 ppi, the J5 2016 edition offers a slightly larger display with 5.2-inch HD but with reduced pixel density of 282 ppi.
Processor
Both Galaxy J5 2015 and 2016 editions ships with Snapdragon 410 chipset, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and Adreno 306 graphics. Even after one year of release, Samsung retained the same internals without giving users a chance for a change.

Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 Price in India
Samsung has priced the new Galaxy J5 very attractively at Rs. 13990, which is higher than the 2015 model, which is currently available at around Rs. 11,000. However, taking into account the integration of new features like Sbike mode and Android Marshmallow, the price is justified.
