8 Things You Need to Know About the Samsung Galaxy J5 Samsung silently introduced the Galaxy J5 and J7 smartphones via a listing on its website in China. Over a period of 3 weeks after that, the two devices, the latest in the budget Galaxy J series, have since made it to several emerging markets where they were targeted.

Going to Settings > Edge screen > People edge will allow you to do just that. Alternatively, on the home-screen you can slide out the People edge user interface by swiping the transparent tab to the middle of the display, and use the “+” icon to add any contact you want. Now you can set up to 5 contacts that will illuminate your E...
