Samsung Galaxy J2 Price In India And Why It Is A Bang For Your Buck

Samsung in India is known for its flagship offers but it does not mean the company will ignore the budget-friendly price bracket. The Samsung Galaxy J2 was the company’s effort to strengthen its presence in the entry-level market.

The Samsung J2 is made with one single target in mind, keep the user experience as solid as possible while removing what is not absolutely necessary. And with an established company like Samsung India, you have reason to believe that what you pay to get a J2 will be money well spent.

Samsung J2 price in India is ₹ 6,799, a real bargain for what you are going to get.

Display

The Galaxy J2 features a Super AMOLED screen measuring 4.7 inches, with 234ppi pixel density. The AMOLED is a real upgrade from the TFT on the J2’s predecessor, the J1.

If you want something with a larger screen, the Galaxy J2 Pro is a decent option to consider.

The screen’s vivid colors and contrast can definitely make up for the qHD resolution. However, if you really look, you can see for yourself with bare eyes the pixels.

When the brightness is set at maximum, what users have is the brightness of 346nits. The phone has no automatic brightness adjustment so when you are in an area with too much sunlight, you may want to manually change it.

When it comes to saturation, when the phone is in the normal brightness, its color rendition is average, which puts it really far from offering accurate colors. Samsung J2 price in India makes it a steal for a smartphone, so you cannot expect more than that from the display.

Most of us do not care much about calibrated color output, so this is not exactly a problem for an average user.

Galaxy J2 Battery Life Test

With a battery of 2600mAh, the phone can get through 64 hours with two SIMs in operation.

The talking time you may expect is less than 15 hours. The Web browsing test’s result is a little disappointing but the main reason was that the white background of the sites costs the phone most of its power to sustain.

For an average user, the J2 can accompany you for a whole day and have a little power left for the next morning.

Connectivity

Users have the choice to acquire the phone in either single or dual SIMs configuration. However, please note that the latter option allows you only one cellular service at a time.

Samsung J2 price in India is quite cheap but users still have 150Mbps of downlink speed and 50Mbps of uplink speeds.

While NFC is absent on this phone, you still have Bluetooth v4.0, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/, GLONASS, and A-GPS.

Camera

Tapping on the Mode button and you will have all kinds of options like HDR, Panorama, Sound & shot, Continuous shot, and some others. The viewfinder offers extra choices like metering and color effects.

On the rear, the J2 features a 5MP snapper with f/2.2 aperture. The selfie camera is even more modest than that with 2MP offering 480p video.

The quality of photos of the rear camera is nothing to write home about. The colors are of average accuracy but the dynamic range is quite disappointing. Expect a fair amount of noise too.

The amount of detail is also nothing impressive. If you want decent photos from the phone, you had better pick a fine sunny day. While the panorama mode is decent, an HDR shooting mode is absent here.

If you care a lot about the camera but still want a good price, the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro should be on your list. It features 8MP and f/2.2 on the rear as well as 5MP and the same aperture for the selfie snapper. Samsung J2 Pro price is Rs. 9,790.

Performance

Under the hood, the J2 runs on the Exynos 3475 chipset and RAM of 1GB. Both of them do a fairly good job making everything loads quite snappy.

The web browsing capacity is another plus. The J2 comes equipped with Samsung India’s own web browser and Google Chrome.

The phone is not something that can rank top on any chart, but with Samsung J2 price in India, that is to be expected.

User Interface

The phone is powered by Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and the user interface has been considerably improved. The lockscreen offers some shortcuts and a notification list. However, you will not have the useful double press on the Home button to conjure the camera.

While many other Samsung India phones offer users a choice to add weather information on the lockscreen, the J2 does not allow that, which is a real disappointment.

The Privacy mode is missing either with no Theme store to change the look of the phone. The best you can do is customizing the TouchWiz to switch to other wallpapers.

The homescreen is basic without Samsung's Briefing pane. All you can do is to long-press on the homescreen button to add more widgets.

Again, with the Samsung J2 price in India, we cannot exactly expect more than that.

All of Google’s most-used apps are in a folder and you can uninstall or disable anything you want but the TouchWiz. The task switcher is a card-like interface with all the recently opened apps. Samsung users can also make use of Samsung J2 bike mode.

The Quick settings can be found in the Setting menu, featuring the most-used options. The full menu is right below and if you feel confused by the menus and submenus, you can always use the search function.

Samsung J2 Price In India

The black Galaxy J2 is retailed for ₹7,999 while the pink variant will set you back  ₹6,799 on Flipkart.

Conclusion

The features-to-price ratio shows what you can get these days and it seems like Samsung still has its touch in offering value for your money. Samsung J2 price in India is affordable but you still have the AMOLED display, which used to be on mid-rangers and above. If you wish to have a 720p smartphone, the qHD resolution should be turned off.
