    After an import listing revealed its existence, the Galaxy J2 (2016), has just made an appearance on benchmarking database GeekBench bearing the model number SM-J210F. The site has revealed some of the hardware specs of the smartphone and we're fairly impressed. For starters, the device is shown to be coming with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow by default, which has been the case with recent 2016 Samsung phones.

    The new Galaxy J2 is also shown to be sporting a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor (Spreadtrum SC8830), along with 1.5GB of RAM. Sadly, this is all that the listing reveals as of now, although we're hoping to find out more in the days to come. We wouldn't be surprised if Samsung retains the same 4.7-inch display as the original Galaxy J2.

    Two weeks ago, Samsung took the wraps off the latest iteration in its Galaxy J lineup, the Galaxy J2 (2016). Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have caught on quite as well as the firm would have hoped. As mentioned in our review, the handset carries a price tag of Rs. 9,750 ($144), but, much to our […]

    Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) Review: A budget phone that fails on multiple fronts

    Remember the Galaxy J2? You probably don't, and that's okay. Launched last year as the cheapest device in Samsung's Galaxy J lineup, the Galaxy J2's claim to fame was its Super AMOLED display. The rest of its hardware was extremely unimpressive, and the J2 flew under the radar as a result. It wasn't very widely […]

    I wrote yesterday about how Samsung needs to stop making smartphones with 8GB of internal storage, and I'm back again today to complain about another annoyance in the company's budget smartphones. We have often spoken about how the lack of an ambient light sensor/auto brightness on Samsung's cheap phones is inexcusable. A light sensor is […]

    Samsung needs to stop making phones with 8GB of storage

    Samsung recently announced the Galaxy J2 (2016), and I have been using the device as my primary phone for the last couple of days. A budget smartphone always comes with a slew of limitations, but my biggest gripe with the Galaxy J2 (2016) has been its limited storage space. I've been bombarded by “you're running out of […]
