Samsung launched the Galaxy On Nxt it in fact is exactly similar to the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime that was silently launched few weeks back. Check this Samsung Galaxy on Nxt review to know about how well the handset performs.
Galaxy On Nxt Review
Inside the box (Unboxing) : On Nxt handset, SIM tray ejector pin, quick start guide, warranty card, travel charger 5V / 1.55A, data cable and standard quality earphone.
Design
This handset is packed inside a full metal body with a very good build quality and finishing. On Nxt is comfortable to hold, not at all slippery (back panel is with a matte finish). Speaker vent is on the right side just above the power button – usually speaker is placed on the back or bottom.
Display
5.5 inch 1920 x 1080p, TFT LCD – colour reproduction, viewing angles and touch response are pretty good. Screen is using 2.5D curved glass that gives a premium feel to the handset. Front looks almost black (screen off).
SIM Slot
There are two slots, SIM slot 1 can house a nano SIM and SIM slot 2 has 2 slots a nano slot and a micro SD card slot. So in all you can use two nano SIM and a micro SD card simultaneously. 4G with VoLTE is supported.
Memory, Storage and OS
3GB RAM and 32GB storage (23GB free). OTG is supported. On Nxt is running Android Marshmallow.
Performance
Samsung Galaxy On Nxt is using Samsung Exynos 7870 octa core chipset 64 bit 1.59GHz with Mali T830 GPU. Performance was smooth with general usage but when it came to gaming the handset clearly lagged.
Benchmark
Quadrant : 3651
AnTuTu : 41863 / 5737 – 2nd time 41328 / 5846
Nenamark 2 : 57.8fps
Disk Speed : 150 MB/s read / 46 MB/s write
Multi Touch : 10 point
Gaming
MC5 (Modern Combat 5) game clearly lagged and the Asphalt 8 game was also lagging in high visual quality mode. (check video review).
Camera
Main camera is 13MP with f/1.9 aperture and with flash support. Front camera is 8MP also with f/1.9 aperture. Camera can shoot FHD videos at 30fps. Camera quality is above average.
Finger print sensor
Present – home button, finger print scanning is decently fast and accurate.
Others
There is LED notification and two sensors – accelerometer and proximity. Light sensor is missing – you will need to manually adjust the brightness.
Network / Connectivity
4G LTE, VoLTE works I tested with Reliance Jio. No issues with networks. WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS also worked well.
Battery
The 3300 mAh non-removable battery does a good job – 4 to 5 hours non-stop moderate to heavy usage.
Samsung Galaxy On Nxt Battery Performance (time / battery % drop / estimated battery temperature)
- Running Benchmark app : 19 minutes / 6% / 32 degrees
- Asphalt 8 + MC5 game play : 26 minutes / 9% / 32 degrees
- FHD video playback with full brightness (WiFi /4G on) : 25 minutes / 10% / 33 degrees.
Handset heat up is under control – max battery temperature encountered was 33 degrees.
It took me 1 hour 40 minutes to charge from 3% to 100% using wall charger.
Verdict
The On Nxt is powered by octa core processor however when it comes to gaming the hardware fails to perform. Rest of the features are pretty good, camera quality is above average and battery life is decent.
For Rs. 18,490 this handset is pricey.
Rating 3 out of 5
Samsung Galaxy On Nxt is available for Rs. 18,490 (Black and Gold color options).

please upload sample image in original quality
I am now using a new format, the link to original images will be mentioned after the images, however for older articles like this one, the original images are lost. Also from time to time I will be cleaning the download files so as to save space.
Go for Sony M5 Aqua, a great device..Contains all Sensors, Sony UI, Better RAM Management, Water Resistance, NFC, at just 2000rs extra with this OnNxt
I can’t move further with Samsung devices, because they are currently making only the insensible devices to India. But they are providing the same models (including ON Nxt) with light,gyro sensors. So, I still stuck with my Tab 3 7.0, this is the last 7inch tablet with all sensors,including Grip Sensor.
Light and gyro sensors are only presents on International Models..
Recently bought samsung on8 for my mom, it seems like best phone from samsung in this price range. Byt he way on8 scored 42k on antutu
I waited for your review without purchasing even getting for 15k around in two occasions with good bank offers. But now, fully dropped buy option from mind this device.
your videos are short and crispy , really liked , keep it up
Thank you
Samsung you are going to be new nokia or blackberry soon
Yes. Looks like the downward slide of Samsung has begun.
Yes u r right
Already..First in 2016
why u reviewing junk phone of samsung
To know is it junk or not!!!
No AMOLED display for this price. The lack of ambient light sensor on such an overpriced phone is not justified. The processor and the GPU is really so underpowered that it can’t play those graphics intensive games smoothly in high visual quality mode. Samsung could have opted for Snapdragon 652/653 processor. Overall it seems a crap phone by Samsung. Redmi Note 3 is miles better than this crap for much less price. 😀
there is ON 8 with super amoled 1080p display but it lacks FP sensor…and it’s pretty much same handset as this.
Samsung…..
Your days are getting over gradually….
Redmi Note 3 is way ahead than this frivolous scrap.
