Asked by Alice Salt

on 20th Nov 2017
It comes in three different colours and it is more faster to do things
then a Samsung j3 and it has got a bigger screen and I am going to be
on it next year and my old Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 📱 I am
not going to be on it much longer and I have asked for a new phone
📱 and my parents agree that I get one and I am getting my
Samsung galaxy j5 in blue and I would love ❤ it
I'm using a dual SIM, then I can't access my sd card. Is it because I have two SIM cards In the phone or is it something else?

backlight for the screen.

Reply by Ash
from Uk
on 12th Jun 2016
The moto has full HD where the j5 is only 1280, just the j5, s amoled
more than makes up the difference. The moto is better made with a
metal chassis while the J5 is plastic. The Moto has a built in battery
while the J5 is removable. Both great phones I prefer my j5 whilst the
wife prefers her moto g 3rd gen. The J5 is slightly faster and lighter
the moto weighs the same as a brick and the J5 has a better call
quality but the moto has two speakers which sound great.

Actually both phones have 1280 x 720 pixel screens, but as Ash says,
the Super AMOLED display of the J5 is superior.

No. I'm afraid it does not. Bit silly really as I understand it has
front flash. Bad bad design flaw. I cannot get 4G in mine. And,
Samsung should UPGRADE to Marshmallow. Motorola G a better
bet.

How do I answer phone?

Reply by Thomas

When someone calls you a screen should pop up. It has the name and the
number of the person calling you and underneath there are also two
icons: a green phone and a red phone. To ignore the call you just hold
down the red one. To answer the person hold the green one and it
should work. Then you just hold it to your ear and talk as you
normally would. Hope that helps.
