Samsung on max a short review

The Samsung Galaxy On Max will compete directly with the Moto G5 Plus especially in the camera department
Being all-metal means the Galaxy On Max has a non-removable back cover, and obviously a non-removable battery. That is, but, a small price to pay for all that premium you're getting. Much like the Galaxy J7 Max, the Galaxy On Max also uses a 1080p screen (IPS and not AMOLED) which should get the job done for most users. The phone has just the right amount of pixels, without going overboard, which means it is pleasantly sharp - if a little on the dim side -- with good viewing angles. The screen is, however, a bit reflective which effects outdoor legibility to some extent.
In terms of hardware, the Galaxy On Max is powered by an octa-core MediaTek P25 Lite processor clubbed with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage which is also expandable. It runs Android Nougat-based TouchWiz UI, supports dual-SIM and 4G LTE (VoLTE-ready) connectivity.
Samsung is banking on two - rather three -- key features to sell its new Galaxy On phone: Pay Mini, a camera that's - because it has a 1.7 aperture - supposedly great in low light and Social camera. While Samsung Pay Mini is Samsung Pay minus debit/credit card support, Social camera is essentially a camera feature that lets users apply beautify and filters on the fly while taking photos as well as share them simultaneously on social media channels, right from the camera app itself.
Of these, the Samsung Pay Mini - which is essentially a lighter version of the company's Pay mobile payments service platform - is the more interesting. Samsung Pay has all the cards (Visa, Mastercard), wallets like Paytm and UPI all integrated into one and works with both NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). It works with any payment terminal: card swiping or reading machine accepting either a traditional swipe or contactless payments. It takes just three simple steps to use Samsung Pay, according to the company. These include: swiping up to launch the service, authenticating via PIN or fingerprint and making payments using your compatible Samsung phone. Samsung Pay Mini, on the other hand, supports only Paytm and UPI.
Moving on, Samsung is looking to bring Samsung Pay Mini to almost all its phones that have a fingerprint scanner which means previous-generation J-series phones (with fingerprint scanner) will also support the service in the days to come
