Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy J1
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy J1 features a compact design with dimensions of 129 x 68.2 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 122 grams, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, supported by a Spreadtrum chipset, though it may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with an f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 1850 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, lacking updates to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in white, black, and blue, with no water resistance features.
- Overall, the Galaxy J1 is a basic smartphone with essential features for casual users.
