It's fair to say I was blown away by the phone on offer when I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy J5 earlier this year, and a good deal has got even better. It's available from £120 when bought with £10 top-up at the Carphone Warehouse - that's a good £40 off RR...

It's hard to review an entry level phone when you're so used to its flagship counterpart. Such is the case when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy J5 and J7. I had to constantly remind myself that these phones are not a part of the S series, and as such, I sh...

Make no mistake, with an asking price of RM799 for the J5 and RM999 for the J7, you're pretty much paying a premium for the Samsung brand instead of actual performance. If you're one of those people that wouldn't be caught dead with a phone that isn't fro...
