The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core is a budget Android smartphone that recently became available in Kenya. The smartphone packs an entry level technical profile with the highlight being on its performance and battery profile.
The Galaxy J2 Core has a suggested retail price of Ksh. 11,999 in Kenya. Its rivals include the Infinix Smart 2 (Ksh. 10,999) and TECNO Camon 11 (Ksh. 13,999).
Here is a quick specifications review of the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core.
Why you should buy the phone
- Awesome Battery
- Great Performance Profile
Demerits of the Phone
- Weak Display Specifications
Display
Display Size: 5.0 inches
Display Type: Capacitive touch screen
Screen Resolution: 540 x 960 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 220 ppi
The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core offers a 5.0-inch capacitive display. The display isn’t exactly high end and it’s a letdown, especially when you compare it to the one of the Infinix Smart 2.
Design
Dimensions: 143.4 x 72.1 x 8.9 mm
The Galaxy J2 Core features the generic Samsung budget smartphone design concept. The smartphone is in fact a reminiscence of the Samsung Galaxy Young 2.
Performance
Operating System: Android Go 8.1 Oreo
CPU: Quad-core 1.4 GHz
RAM: 1GB
Internal Memory: 8GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 256 GB
The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core runs Android Go 8.1 Oreo out of the box. This gives a smartphone an edge over its completion since Android Go is quite light and therefore can run remarkably well on low-end hardware.
Other than that, you get 8GB as internal storage and a micro SD card slot that can handle up to a massive 256GB of memory.
Camera
Rear Camera: 8MP
Secondary Camera: 5MP
LED Flash: Yes
The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core offers an 8MP camera for general photography and a 5MP camera for your selfies.
Battery and Extras
Battery Capacity: Li-Ion 2600 mAh
A Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery powers the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core. Samsung advertises the battery as being able to stream up to 11 hours of YouTube videos from a single charge. Those are a lot of videos.
Price in Kenya
The Galaxy J2 Core has a suggested retail price of Ksh. 11,999 in Kenya.
Be awesome and rate the J2 Core.
