Samsung Galaxy On Max review: Surprisingly good phone in the mid-end segment

Technology

Samsung has been positioning itself as the brand of masses for all over these years. It has a great track record of churning out successful phones in the mid-end phone segment as well, especially under the J series. Then there is the Galaxy On series, targeting the market which is currently dominated by the likes of Xiaomi, Motorola, Oppo and Vivo, among others.

The Galaxy On Max is an Android Nougat-powered phone with a significantly capable rear camera setup with strong performance and a long battery life. For a price of Rs 16,990, the Galaxy On Max offers flagship features you have come to expect – but the bigger question is how it performs. Let’s find out in our review.

Samsung Galaxy On Max Display, Design review

The Galaxy On Max builds on the company’s previous designs – right down to the the home button in the centre – which now doubles as a fingerprint reader. During our tests, the fingerprint scanner worked well and was quick to unlock the phone. To give the phone an attractive feel, Samsung used a glossy glass panel affixed to a aluminum frame and rounded edges. The end result is a more polished feel as well as a more comfortable grip.

Flip it over, and you will notice a metal back panel. However, the top and bottom of the phone are made out of plastic. We reviewed the black colour option which doesn’t seem to attract fingerprints on the back. Although we didn’t face problems gripping the phone, the back can sometimes get a little slippery.
