The smartphone was launched in India last month. It supports Samsung Pay Mini. Some other important features include F/1.7 aperture and Android Nougat. The price of Samsung Galaxy on Max has been kept in such a way that it collides with many popular handsets with a price segment of Rs 20,000. Is Samsung really able to challenge a strong challenge? Let’s try to know.
Samsung Galaxy on Max Design
For a long time, every price segment of Samsung’s phone has been criticized for a similar design. It seems that the company started the change with its premium model Samsung Galaxy S6, looking at it. After this, Samsung Galaxy S7 came and looking at Samsung Galaxy S8, it seems that the company has made revolutionary changes. The good thing is that the company has not forgotten the mid -range segment. There have been some changes in this price range.
Galaxy on Max seems to be more premium than its price. At first glance it will definitely like you. The handset has a 5.7 -inch display but it gives a 5.5 -inch device to be a device and looks smaller than the 5.5 -inch iPhone 7 Plus. Due to the slim border on the edge, the beauty of the display is enhanced. Samsung’s identity on the front panel is an oval home button which is also a fingerprint sensor. Capsitive backs and overview buttons are provided on both sides of it.
Sadly, capacitive buttons are not backlit. This means that you will have difficulty in using them in the dark. The position of power and volume button is such that it is easy to use them. You will get different slots for SIM and MicroSD cards. The camera on the back is existing with a square bulge which is common in Samsung’s phone. The 3.5mm audio jack is at the top and the micro-USB port on the lower back.
The thickness of on Max is 8.1 millimeters, but looks slim according to its size. Weight is 179 grams. During the phone call you will feel the weight of it. Apart from this, you will not want to use the device with one hand for a long time. Due to curved edges, it is convenient to use it with one hand, but the metal slips more. While taking the picture during the review, Galaxy on Max had almost slipped from our hands and it was due to Metallic back. We suggest that you use the cover for protection.
Samsung has noticed the small nuances of Galaxy on Max, we liked this. Many people may find this phone very big. Due to the metal unibody, it slips into the hands. There should also be a notification LED which has not found a place. Apart from this, fingers are very easily printed on the display. We had to clean the screen again and again. Overall, Samsung Galaxy on Max may not have a unique design, but it gives a premium to be more premium than its price. The handset has been launched in gold and black colors. We got a black variant for review.
Inside the retail box of Samsung Galax on Max, you will find earphones, charger, micro-USB cable, SIM Ejector Tools and Instructions book.

You will find Android 7.0 Nougat. Samsung’s custom OS UX has been used above it, which has been better than last year. The number of unwanted apps in Samsung phone has also reduced.
An important software feature in this phone is Samsung Pay Mini which was launched in India with Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro and Galaxy J7 Max in June. Samsung Pay Mini app will be installed on the device in advance. With this help you will be able to make UPI payments and mobile wallet is also integrated in it. Sadly, you will not get NFC and Tap to Pay features in Samsung Pay’s mini version. We used Paytm and Mobikwik wallet on Samsung Pay Mini and found that it works. But we shocked the lack of card payments. If only! We can also leave debit and credit cards at home.
As expected, the Galaxy on Max has all the features such as Nougat splt screen multitasking, Quick Toggles and Naya Settings App. We liked technology like 3D touch. With its help, there are many options in the form of a shortcut when pressed the icon of the select app for a long time.
The user who feels that the 5.7 -inch screen is very large. They can use one-handed mode. This will reduce the area of the display. You have to activate this mode from the settings app. You will get a dual messenger feature which will automatically be active with apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram and Gmail.

You will also get some more shortcuts. The camera can be activated at any time by tapping the home button twice. Ultra data prohibits the app using data in the saving mode background.

But after an update, this feature also arrived in the phone.
Samsung Galaxy on Max Performance and Camera
Galaxy on Max works well in daily use. It handles multitasking easily. There is no difficulty in switching from one app to another. All the time you will get 1.8 GB RAM free in 4 GB. We used Galaxy on Max fiercely for GPS navigation, photography, gaming. During this time 4G data was also active. But the phone never became too hot.
The phone is just staggering in front of a game with powerful graphics like Asafalt 8. We felt that the phone would sometimes stabilize. But managed to recover in a while. The benchmark results also came properly.
The experience of using the full-HD screen of Galaxy On Max was fantastic. Its brightness is good and Colors is Panchi. The specialty of the display is that it can be very bright and very Dim. We enjoyed watching the video on the phone screen. Samples video also went without trouble. There is enough sound from the speaker on the right side. But most of the volume starts bursting. We liked the speaker’s place, but it was better if the stereo was speaker.
We liked the face recognition feature. With its help, we were able to unlock the device with the help of the face. Samsung should be praised that he has made this feature a part in this price. However, it works only when there is appropriate light. Do not expect this feature to work in low light. Fingerprint scanner will prove to be a better option for face recognition for this situation.
The phone supports VoLTE. With its help, we were able to call Jio Network. We found that the phone easily connected to the 4G network when available. Call quality on the phone was good.
The 13-megapixel rear camera gives good performance under different circumstances. In daylight, sample shots came with good texture and adequate details. The focus occurred rapidly and the results were also accurate. Colors were very diverse and exposure accurate. There is no lack of details in macros and landscape.
The aperture of the rear camera lens is F/1.7. The same setup was seen in flagship Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8. The company says that users will be able to take better pictures in low light than this. The camera took fine night shots. Photos taken in low light have some noise, but it takes better photos from other phones in this price range. The focus works rapidly in daylight. It is not as accurate in low light.
You will be satisfied with a selfie taken from the 13 -megapixel front camera. In the camera app you will get the facility to change the skin tone, thin the face and make the eyes big. Some users may like this feature. We found that the front flash was very effective in low light. Will be able to record 1080 pixels videos from the phone. You will not be disappointed with this. By the way, our wish was recorded 4K video. But it is currently limited to the flagship device. We found both cameras the color reproduction and photography in low light.
It is easy to use the camera app of Samsung Galaxy On Max. The smartphone also has a social camera mode. With this help you can share pictures on the social media site in a pinch. You will be able to use real time sticker while taking a picture.

In our standard HD video loop test, Samsung Galaxy On Max’s battery lasted 10 hours and 7 minutes. Given the capacity of the battery, this conclusion will not be called good. Other smartphones with this capacity battery gave much better results. Samsung has not told about fast charging capacity in this phone. But we found that the battery in the phone was fully charged in 90 minutes from the charger.
Our decision
Samsung Galaxy On Max is available on Flipkart for Rs 16,900. You will not be disappointed with its performance. It will never feel weak. The display is large which is good for media entertainment. In our view, Galaxy On Max is the best camera phone in this price. If you are looking for a smartphone that comes with the best camera, then Galaxy on Max should be the first option. Samsung also gave Android Nougat experience this time. And the interface was more polished than before. Samsung Galaxy on Max has a strong camera. Several work software features have been provided. The display is excellent and the processor is also very capable. It is an all -round handset. Apart from gaming performance, you will be satisfied with every department.
However, the company’s own Samsung Galaxy J7 Max comes with better specifications at a slightly higher price. If you do not want to spend too much, then Moto G5 Plus, Xiaomi Mi Max 2 and Oppo F3 are good options.
