Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy J Max features a large 7.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing a decent viewing experience but lacking HDR support.
- Its design is robust, measuring 186.9 x 108.8 x 8.7 mm and weighing 289 grams, available in black and gold colors.
- Performance is powered by a Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 8 MP with an f/1.9 aperture, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The device is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery, offering substantial usage time but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- It runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
- Overall, the Galaxy J Max is a basic tablet-style phone with essential functionalities but limited performance and camera capabilities.
