Samsung Galaxy J1 Review

(SM-J100H) Score: 57.9 / 100

Samsung Galaxy J1 is a nice Android phone launched many years ago, equipped with a fast Dual-Core processor clocking at 1.2 gigahertz, a medium sized 4.3 inches multi-touch screen, a 5 MP back side camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's wonders when we get into specific details.

The J1 is slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. Samsung has made a very nice design job making this phone as lightweight as 4.3 oz. This device is sold in 3 different color options, black, blue and white.

This phone is equipped with a powerful 1.2 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit with 512 MB RAM memory. This device counts with a 4 GB internal storage memory, a fair quantity that should be fine for the majority of users knowing that this device also has a slot for external memory cards .

The J1 has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. This cellphone also shoots 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera includes some nice characteristics like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

Samsung equipped the J1 with a interesting 4.3-inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , giving this cellphone a very good graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The Samsung Galaxy J1 comes with a medium 1850 mAh replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a cellphone like this.

This phone has wifi capability (but it can't share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone comes with two Micro SIM cards to be able to to use two different carriers or phone numbers in the same cellphone.

This phone also features a few useful features such as Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Samsung sells this phone for 90 dollars, which is somewhat expensive for comparing with other similar phones. If you want a phone to mainly use social networks or need a device for playing games, you will definitely love this cellphone.
