Looks like folks over at Samsung are trying to push in an upgrade to the ultra-affordable Galaxy J1, the device that was aimed at emerging markets like India, Latin America and some parts of Asia. The device featured a 4.3 inch display, 512MB RAM and 1850 mAh battery.
Its direct successor, the Galaxy J2 will feature more attractive specifications with a 4.5 inch TFT LCD display with a 800x480p resolution, Samsung’s own Exynos 3475 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB RAM, 8GB Internal Memory with expandability with a MicroSD card.
Device will feature a 5MP rear camera with flash and a 2MP Camera for selfie needs, powered by a 2000 mAh battery, running Android 5.1.1 .
Upgrades are usually priced similarly to the predecessors so we think that the price of J2 would be similar or close to that of J1 and J1’s price would be slashed in sometime to make way for the successor.
In India, Galaxy J1 is priced at Rs 6,750 so we can see J2 at a price tag close to Rs 7000 and outside J2 would cost close to 115$.
Are you impressed by the specs? For us this device is surely a great improvement from Galaxy J1 but when compared to other smartphone in the same price range like Redmi 2 or Lenovo A6000 or even Redmi Note 4GB, J2 will fall short.
