Introduction
Galaxy J2 2016 sample is the last device on Android from the Samsung , which can be considered budget. Available successor to last year’s Galaxy J2 improved in several areas, mainly in the field of equipment. Samsung has also added some new features, such as unique ring alert around the rear view camera, which lights up in different colors, as well as bicycle S-mode and what Samsung calls the technology Turbo Boost.
Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) at first sight:
– OS Android 6.0.1;
– 5,0-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720p;
– quad-core Spreadtrum SC9830 1.5 GHz;
– 1,5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory with expandable storage;
– 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash,
– 5-megapixel front camera;
– support for two SIM-cards;
– link LTE 4- the first category (150/50 Mbps) with VoLTE;
– Smart Glow technology, Turbo Boost, S bike mode, Ultra data saving mode;
– Economy mode in Opera Max;
– the battery is 2600 mAh
The phone runs on the latest android with a clean user interface that Samsung has decided not to dilute the original shell TouchWiz.. Ultrarezhim these savings are more than welcome, as little space. And mobile network data storage technology is integrated at the system level, so it could potentially work for all applications, not just for Web browsing.
Whether all this is enough to phone in order to survive in a tough competition in the budget android-market proposals? Maybe
Design and build quality
J2 is similar to the front for most Samsung latest phones, with his usual physical Home button at the bottom surrounded by capacitive keys. Corners slightly bent on the device, making it more comfortable to hold in hand. Edge around the front slightly raised above the screen and has a chrome finish.
The back cover of the phone, however, is entirely new, unlike any other Samsung-phone. Although the camera, flash and speaker are in familiar positions, smart LED ring looks unique. It has four LEDs that can light up in any color spectrum that suggests the character of SMS alerts to the call. Also, the ring is the main source of light. The problem is that it is behind, so that the phone is not so easy to detect in the dark, as usually it lies just on the rear side. It is worth noting that this is the only notification system for the phone, as there are no LEDs on the front panel is not present, and the phone does not support Ambient Display mode.
In addition, the build quality and finish on the phone a little bit disappointing. Plastic phone bends slightly under pressure, particularly around the outbreak with a distinctive crunch. By the form is simple – “state employees” is not even trying to hide their price category
Display
J2 has a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 ×. 720 pixels. If you push the resolution aside, the display looks very nice. The colors and contrast are great, good viewing angles. It also turned out quite bright. Samsung supplies the display with four display modes, so you can change the color to your liking.
The display is covered with scratch resistant glass (which can be checked with a knife). Unfortunately, there is no oleophobic coating on it, which means that the cover always looks so-so. That is – cheap. In addition, the touch screen only supports two-point multi-touch gestures, so if you start typing fast, the phone starts to slow down.
J2 also lacks an ambient light sensor for automatic screen brightness. Samsung includes only “outdoor” mode, which places the backlight into overdrive. But it is necessary to include it manually. Every time.
camera
Galaxy J2 (2016) has a couple of fairly standard camera with 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels. There is a LED flash on the back, but no one at the front, as in some other Samsung phones budget.
The rear camera on the quality inferior to peers. At first glance, the images look decent, even good. But upon closer inspection, you realize that there is not a lot of detail, and noise reduction is poor. With increasing image noise they begin to give. The dynamic range is not too impressive, and there is no mode of HDR. Fortunately, the colors look good, and autofocus also works reliably. Most part of time. The camera also starts to take off quickly thanks to the universal double-clicking the Home button.
Battery life
Galaxy J2 2016 has a removable battery 2600 mAh. We did not do a full test battery life, but in everyday use, he will stretch one-time or 4-5 hours at full load. The phone lacks the fast charging, and fully charge should be about three hours.
Verdict
Galaxy J2 2016 seems to have been designed for the market, where there is no competition. Samsung flagship in the order of relaxed, almost giving the victory in the budget segment Chinese competitors, because they all look better than the cheap (by type) plastic smartphone with plenty of drawbacks. Ring indicator does not save it in the field of design. And internal equipment does not help in the field of productivity. It is striking that the company has put on him last software from Google . Even more strikingly, that such phones can go in 2016.
The abundance unforgivable shortcomings suggests that this competitor RedmiNote3 throw over the hip, early won a victory. For decent Galaxy J2 2016 competition, at least not enough normal cells, ambient light sensor, oleophobic coating and a decent battery with fast charging
