Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace features a compact design with dimensions of 130.1 x 67.6 x 9.5 mm and a weight of 131 grams, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
- Its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent color reproduction but limited sharpness at approximately 217 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, with variations in RAM and storage configurations, ensuring basic multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for casual selfies.
- The battery capacity stands at 1900 mAh, which supports standard usage without fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) and upgradable to 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is relatively dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device is available in white, black, and blue colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- Overall, the Galaxy J1 Ace serves as a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday tasks.
- Special features are minimal, focusing on core functionalities rather than advanced capabilities.
