Samsung Galaxy On NXT Price In India: Decent But Not Recommendable

Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India was Rs 18,490 when Samsung India launched it in October 2016. Here’s a Samsung Galaxy On NXT review.

Although the Samsung Galaxy On NXT is a decent mid-range Android smartphone, it still isn’t everyone’s first choice. Its performance is good but not among the best. Despite its decent display and design, the camera is disappointing. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Z2 Plus are much better choices. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India was Rs 18,490 when Samsung India launched it in October 2016.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Review

The number of devices that Samsung has made can seem a little bit overwhelming. The Samsung Galaxy On NXT is in the budget segment. Samsung wants it to be an easy device to use. Here’s an in-depth review.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Price

When it was first launched in October 2016, Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India was Rs 18,490. Consumers can buy the phone both online and offline. At the moment, Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India has dropped quite a bit, to only around Rs 12,000.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Specs

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Build and Design

The smartphone has a 5.5-inch screen with 2.5D curved glass and a metal rear panel. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

The smartphone has a 5.5-inch screen with 2.5D curved glass and a metal rear panel. Its thickness is 8mm and its weight is 166 grams. Its display area is 73.53%, which is reasonably slim.

When holding the phone, it feels well-built and reassuring. The phone also has finer details such as a chrome inlay that runs around the main camera and well-rounded creases along the phone’s body. Compared to other smartphones, the rear of the Galaxy On NXT is somewhat “plain.”

On the right side of the phone is the power/unlock button while on the left side are volume keys. The phone has two tray slots. One slot is a single SIM slot while the other has two other slots. One if for the microSD card and one if for the second SIM. At the bottom of the screen is a microphone, the 3.5mm audio port, and a micro-USB port.

The Home button also works as a fingerprint scanner. Although the phone doesn’t come with a noise-canceling microphone, its power and volume button are quite decent. There is a drawback is that the Home button has a plasticky feeling. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Display and UI

The phone has a 5.5-inch LCD screen with a 1080x1920 resolution. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000. The phone has a 5.5-inch LCD screen with a 1080x1920 resolution. The Full HD display works pleasantly. It has a slightly warm color balance. The colors are sharp and nearly accurate. Overall, the display’s color balance is great. Rather than an AMOLED screen, Samsung has equipped the phone with an IPS LCD display panel. Consequently, the Galaxy On NXT has good viewing angles.

The phone is sufficiently bright and has decent sunlight visibility. There is an “Outdoors” mode which can be used to increase the brightness of the screen for 15 minutes. But in this mode, Samsung doesn’t proportionately scale sharpness, vibrancy, and contrast. Therefore, the screen looks kind of bleak. But it works by helping the users read the screen easily.

Over time, the TouchWiz UI has definitely improved but it still isn’t the best. For example, although Samsung has redesigned the settings menu, it doesn’t add much to convenience. There are still some useful optimizations like the “Outdoor” mode that we have mentioned above. The default sound equalizer is also a convenient feature that lets you adjust the frequency distribution. The phone also enables Secure WiFi to alert you to mask apps and domains. For riders, there is the S-Bike mode.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Performance

Samsung Galaxy On NXT is powered by the octa-core Exynos 7870 clocked at 1.6GHx. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT is powered by the octa-core Exynos 7870 clocked at 1.6GHx. It comes with a 3G RAM and internal storage of 32GB. While its performance seems to be slower than other sub-20k smartphones, its real-life performance is actually better than what those synthetic tests indicate.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000. So it comes with the Exynos 7870 offering stable real-life performance. Users can use frequently-used apps without encountering any major delay. The startup time is very little while app load times are quite minimal. There’s a slight delay if you compare the phone to those having the Snapdragon 820 processor. But overall, the lag isn’t too evident and it doesn’t disrupt users’ usage.

In terms of gaming performance, the Galaxy On NXT actually gives us a pleasant surprise since it can run graphic-intensive games quite smoothly. You will still encounter frame drops and significant hiccups if you play games for a long time. But it is still enough for occasional gamers.

The device temperature is acceptable. After gaming for 15 minutes, the peak temperature of the Samsung Galaxy On NXT is 36.8 Celsius degrees. After filming a Full HD video for 10 minutes, the temperature is 37 Celsius degree. But when we inspect the heat graphs, we see that the Galaxy On NXT keeps its processor at 0.8GHz. This means that the process is throttled to keep the heat levels low.

The Samsung Galaxy On NXT is for users who want simplicity and convenience. Smaller games like Drop or Zig-Zag are playable. The smartphone still works fluidly when multiple apps like text messages, music streaming, email, and social media, are opened without any noticeable disruption.

The phone’s call quality is good and its WiFi connectivity is stable. However, without a noise-canceling microphone, the earpiece audio quality is slightly impacted. Overall, the phone is enough for light to medium-demand users. But for those heavy-intensity users, the phone lacks firepower for a similar performance to the Xiaomi Mi Max and Lenovo Z2 Plus. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Camera

The phone comes with a 13-megapixel camera and an f/1.9 lens. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.

The phone comes with a 13-megapixel camera and an f/1.9 lens. Under bright daylight, the camera takes too much time focusing on the subjects. Although the phone has a fast shutter response, it still isn’t the fastest compared to other smartphones in its segment. For image quality, the camera delivers photos with colors that are close to the source. It has decent saturation as well as contrast levels. However, the image detail is disappointing.

In most photos, there is a lack of details and sharpness. Image noise is considerably high, especially those low-light images. Digital image stabilization doesn't help much in improving the image quality. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy On NXT has a weaker camera. The quality of the videos is acceptable.

Samsung Galaxy On NXT Battery

Under intensive usage, the phone loses 15% of battery after gaming for 30 minutes. Samsung Galaxy On NXT price in India is around Rs 12,000.
