Samsung has been launching a flurry of phones in the different series that it has introduced in the past few months. The Galaxy J series recently saw the new phone, i.e. Galaxy J2 2016, which has a unique feature called Smart Glow notifications, while the Galaxy On series has some value-for-money phones, and this series saw two new phones today, i.e. the Galaxy On5 Pro and the Galaxy On7 Pro.
Having the same size, quite a few other similarities, how do the two phones from Samsung fare against each other? Let’s check out the comparison below to find out. Also, both the phones are priced almost the same, so it will be interesting to see which one looks better on the paper.

- Samsung Galaxy On5 Pro has 2 GB RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) has 1.5 GB RAM.
- There is an internal storage of 16 GB in Samsung Galaxy On5 Pro, whereas the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) has only 8 GB.
- Samsung Galaxy On5 Pro is powered by Exynos quad-core chipset, 1.3 GHz, whereas the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) is powered by Spreadtrum SC8830.

What’s important as a difference?
One of the first things is with the notification light that forms a ring around the back camera of the Galaxy J2 2016. This is a unique and new feature, which is seen only on this phone, and there’s nothing like that on the Galaxy On5 Pro.
Also, the Galaxy On5 Pro runs on an Exynor processor, which is the chipset from Samsung itself, and these processors are made quite well. On the other hand, the performance could be a bit skeptical here on the Galaxy J2 2016 because it runs on the Spreadtrum chipset.
Which is a better phone of the two?
We are just comparing them based on the specifications, so there will be no comment on the performance, which we expect to see it better on the Galaxy On5 Pro. But talking about the specifications, there are not many big differences, except for the fact that the On5 Pro looks a bit better.
Otherwise, if you are thinking out of the box and want something different, the Smart Glow light is definitely a different feature that you won’t see on any other device right now. It is a customizable light that glows when there are notifications.
If you are someone looking at the storage to be good, the internal storage on J2 2016 is going to hit badly, because the user is offered just above 4GB available storage with the 8GB ROM. At least with the Galaxy On5 Pro, you are getting a 16GB ROM.
