Samsung Galaxy J2 Review, Price, Manual / Guide - The trend of quality smartphones that are priced at affordable prices is indeed mushrooming in the market. Samsung also enlivened the low-cost cellphone market by completing the J series with the Galaxy J2. This smartphone is more expensive than the Galaxy J1, but cheaper than the Galaxy J5 and J7. Curious about our Samsung Galaxy J2 review? Check out the full review here!
Design
Just like the other J series, J2 comes with a design that is not too impressive. This is in stark contrast to the Galaxy A series which carries a more premium design. Unlike the J5 and J7, the Galaxy J2 has a leather-like finish back cover. Even though this smartphone is made of plastic material, this smartphone is quite comfortable and doesn't slip easily in your hand. The Galaxy J2 is 69 mm wide, 136 mm long and 8.3 mm thick. Meanwhile, the weight of this smartphone is only around 130 grams, so the Galaxy J2 is classified as a light and compact smartphone. Samsung provides two color choices for the J2, namely black and white.
Performance
For observers of smartphone performance, the processor sector in this Samsung Galaxy J2 review is the most eagerly awaited thing. The J2 comes with a Samsung Exynos 3475 processor with a Quad Core 1.3 GHz CPU. Overall, this hardware offers moderate performance and does not overheat the device. However, we think that actually Samsung can embed a better processor and CPU for the Galaxy J2. The graphics card in the Galaxy J2 is Mali-T720. Actually, this is not the best GPU, but this GPU can perform well in several games. However, never use this smartphone to play games that require higher graphic quality.
The memory sector is no less important than the processor, considering that today there are many interesting applications that are a pity to miss. Well, the Galaxy J2 comes with an internal memory of 8 GB. However, after being used for the default application, the memory capacity you get is only about 4.36 GB. However, this is not a problem because you can upgrade the microSD slot up to 128 GB. RAM is also an important element that determines smartphone performance. The Galaxy J2 is equipped with 1 GB of RAM. This RAM size is not too big, considering that there are currently many other competitors in the low-end smartphone class that provide 2 GB of RAM.
Display
Even though it is included in the lower middle class of smartphones, Samsung has equipped the J2 with a Super AMOLED screen measuring 4.7 inches. The screen is also equipped with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels with a density of 234 ppi. Overall, the smartphone screen is bright, has good viewing angles, offers bright color output, and visibility in the sun is also good. Because this smartphone screen is not accompanied by a light sensor, so you will have to adjust the screen brightness manually depending on the lighting conditions around you. This smartphone screen is of sufficient quality, but unfortunately there is no special protection that protects the screen.
Connectivity
As we said at the beginning of this Samsung Galaxy J2 review, this smartphone is equipped with a 4G LTE network. In fact, these two SIM slots both support 4G LTE networks. However, you can only activate the 4G network on one SIM only. Both SIMs are equipped with the Smart DUAL SIM feature, where calls will be forwarded to SIM 2 if SIM 1's phone number is busy. In addition, other connectivity that accompanies the J2 includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth v4.1, and GPS. In fact, this quality cheap smartphone also supports USB On-The-Go.
Battery
The battery capacity that complements the J2 is not too large, which is only 2,000 mAh. However, this battery can make the smartphone live all day even though you have activated the 4G network. However, if you actively use your smartphone to play music, make calls, browse, and be active on social media, the smartphone battery will only last for a few hours. This battery comes with a power saving mode that can save smartphone battery power usage. The battery used on the J2 can also be removed, so you can bring a spare battery to replace this smartphone battery if it runs out.
Camera
The camera is also the most important thing that is always taken into consideration before buying a smartphone. Samsung equipped the Galaxy J2 with a 5 MP main camera which is equipped with autofocus and an aperture of F / 2.2. The daytime photos are quite good, but the images are not too bright. Low lighting quality will cause a lot of noise in the photos taken with the main camera of this smartphone. However, to brighten up photos with the main camera, you can take advantage of the available LED Flash. Meanwhile, on the front there is a 2 MP camera. Although not too bright and special, the front camera of this smartphone is good enough to help you to be active on social media and make video calls.
Features
Like some of the latest Samsung smartphones, J2 is also equipped with Smart Manager, to check battery information, clean cache or junk, and free up RAM. With this Smart Manager, we no longer need to install a cleaner application to clean junk and cache. This Android-based smartphone Lollipop v5.1.1 has also been enriched with Ultra Data Saving Mode developed by Opera Max. Since the J2 doesn't have a music player, you will have to rely on Google Play Music or download another Android music player app.
Price
This is the part that has been awaited by readers interested in owning the Samsung Galaxy J2. This handset is sold at an economical price, which is around $86.78.
The conclusion from this review, the Samsung Galaxy J2 is quite worth it for those of you who love handsets made by Samsung at a cheaper price.
