Short Review

The Samsung Galaxy J2 (2017) features a compact design with dimensions of 136.5 x 69 x 8.4 mm and a weight of 130g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
Its 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing decent color reproduction but limited sharpness at ~234 ppi.
Performance is powered by the Exynos 3475 Quad chipset, with a quad-core CPU running at 1.3 GHz and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor capable of 720p video recording, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
The device runs on Android 7.0 (Nougat), offering a straightforward user experience.

It has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
The phone is available in black and gold colors, but lacks water resistance.
Overall, the Galaxy J2 (2017) is a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
