Smartphone Samsung Galaxy J2 was developed primarily for countries with developing economies. It was not for nothing that the South Korean giant chose India for the first presentation of the novelty - a country with a developing economy and potential buyers, numbering over a billion.
What's new?
With what Samsung Galaxy J2 going to surprise us?
First of all, at an affordable price. This budget smartphone will be quite affordable for residents of low-income countries: us, Indians, Chinese, Brazilians, etc. To buy it, you do not need to get into loans, and then deny yourself the essentials. And if we take into account its functional filling and high performance, then Samsung Galaxy J 2 may become the most massive model in the "galactic" family of the South Korean manufacturer.
Even in this budget novelty, Samsung engineers were able to implement some very interesting and useful innovations.
Since the installation of high-performance hardware in a smartphone would inevitably lead to an increase in its selling price, it was decided to increase productivity through software solutions.
So, in this gadget, the technology for compressing data transmitted over the wireless Internet, borrowed from Opera Max, was implemented. Thanks to her, it was possible to achieve a 50% increase in the speed of downloading video files. The speed of working with social networks has increased by 40% and by 30% when visiting regular Internet sites.
Again, this technology is designed to work in countries with poor LTE coverage. And this is our country, and still the same India.
Specifications
For the rest Samsung Galaxy J2 has a fairly standard set of characteristics.
AMOLED-screen with a resolution of 960x540 pp together with a 4-core 1.3 GB Exynos 3475 processor provide ample opportunities for communication, entertainment and work. Is that 1 GB of "RAM" will not allow you to enjoy modern resource-intensive games. Even at the lowest settings, they will clearly slow down.
If the built-in 8 GB hard drive seems a little to you, then you can install microSD up to 128 GB on your smartphone. The gadget has two cameras - 5MPix main and 2MPix front.
Actually, everything is pretty standard. The same set can be found on smartphones from other manufacturers, but they will cost much more than the Galaxy J2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Artem from For your money, super! For your money, just space! The latest OS does not slow down anything, there are practically no failures. Insanely stylish and beautiful! (Doesn't look like a budget smartphone at all) In general, a very decent model from state employees!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lumiya from This device has no free memory. I bought this product of human activity and, as a result, I was disappointed: the memory of the device itself is filled with applications that, I don’t know when I need them, but the flash drive does not accept any files, except for photos I will send screenshots later!

Rated 5 out of 5 by gross783 from solid apparatus Successful model. I really liked at first the battery sat down pretty quickly, but then Apparently it swayed, I reset the settings to the factory settings and installed the programs (Yandex maps, metro, trains, whatsapp) again. The phone also has an "optimization" function (in the settings) It tidies up the memory. You can also make programs that can be sent to sleep mode so as not to waste battery power. Fotik shoots EXCELLENT and macro and video, for processing photos there are various pretty interesting gadgets. Determines my location accurately, does not get warm either during charging or during operation, I played Real Racing for testing and did not heat up. I immediately bought a silicone case and glass for the phone. The speaker is loud, Ringtones for calls and notifications are very interesting. In general, I am very satisfied ..

Rated 4 out of 5 by JIrinaL from Convenient Phone I have been using the phone for more than six months. Everything seems to be good, there is a lot of memory, but the camera is terrible, especially the front camera, the camera narrows the face, and the effect of a flattened face is obtained, and the main photo is taken with some kind of pale film, this is bad ... And what else is upset that there is no application for music. But still, the phone is very good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Zeus 37 from Good smartphone for your money I have been using it for almost a year, a reliable device with sufficient parameters for watching videos, surfing the Internet and not too demanding games, a separate slot for SIM cards and memory cards allows you to download and store large files from torrents. The camera shoots only during daylight hours, there is frankly little RAM and main memory, and this is perhaps the main and most significant disadvantage. Considering the demands of the system, the bottom line is up to 1GB of RAM and about 8GB of ROM. Now, of course, I would like to see 8/128 GB, but these are A series devices for other money. In general, this smart will be sufficient for the older age category.

This is very convenient, since you will never miss important calls and SMS messages, since the size of this ring allows you to see the signal even if you are at a great distance from the device.
Also, the smartphone is able to shoot high-quality selfies using this very ring. So, when shooting, the smartphone will automatically illuminate the LED ring, and you will get a very high-quality picture in low light conditions. Regarding the main characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy J2, the smartphone received a 5-inch HD (1280 - 720) display.
Responsible for performance is a 4-core processor with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz. The device received 1.5 GB of RAM, which is very good for a budget device. But there is not much internal memory, only 8 GB. Apparently, Samsung decided to save something on this, because those who like to take selfies are unlikely to refuse to buy such a stuffed device in terms of the camera.
The camera itself received an 8 MP module, the front resolution was 5 MP. I was also pleased that the smartphone received a capacious 2600 mAh battery for this display diagonal. At the moment, the new product runs on OS Android 6.0 Marshmallow. But there is no information about whether the smartphone will be updated to seven yet. It remains only to wait for the release of this device on sale.
The cost of the device will be $ 145.
