Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime features a compact design with dimensions of 144.8 x 72.1 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 160g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
  • Its 5.0-inch PLS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737T chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with an f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 5 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
  • The device is powered by a 2600 mAh battery, which does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and may lack some modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in several colors: Black, Gold, Silver, and Pink.
  • It does not have water resistance features and lacks stereo speakers.
  • Overall, the Galaxy J2 Prime is a straightforward device suitable for basic tasks.
