Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) Review

Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) is a high quality cellphone released in February 2016, packing a 4.5" screen, a high-tech 1300 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. But it's time to get into a bit more details.

This phone is only for sale in 16 777 216 color. The J1 (2016) is just 0.35 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a phone this size.

This phone ships with a Samsung Exynos 3 Quad 3475 system chip, holding a high speed 1.3 GHz Quad-Core processor and only 1 GB RAM which is a bit poor for such a solid cellphone. An interesting aspect of the J1 (2016) is its quite big 8 GB internal storage memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows the user to store hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.

This cellphone is equipped with a good level 4.5 inches screen with a 480 x 800 resolution, which makes all pictures and videos look beautiful.

This cellphone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a hotspot), LTE (4G) high speed connectivity and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSPA technologies. The J1 (2016) works with a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

The J1 (2016) features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of capturing HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps.

The J1 (2016) also comes with a couple useful features like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This device counts with a 2050 mAh big replaceable battery providing this cellphone a quite long battery life.

No matter if you need a work phone, will use it for playing games, will use it mostly for social networks and internet browsing or want this phone to take lots of pictures, you will probably love this phone.
