Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy J2

Short Review

The Samsung Galaxy J2 features a compact design with dimensions of 136.5 x 69 x 8.4 mm and a weight of 129 grams, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
Its 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing decent visuals with a pixel density of approximately 234 ppi.
Performance is powered by the Exynos 3475 Quad chipset, featuring a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus and 720p video recording, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which supports basic usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is relatively dated compared to newer versions.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
The device is available in white, black, and gold colors, adding some aesthetic variety.
Overall, the Galaxy J2 is a straightforward smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
