According to leading critics reviews, based on user experiences, Samsung Galaxy J2 is a budget smartphone for entry level. Samsung has a reputed brand value since long past. This phones unique AMOLED screen with HD appearance is the USP of the smartphone. The 4G connectivity and Snapdragon processor are the other lucrative features. But the phone comes with an average battery capacity with average camera features. Sound quality is not very good and so does the RAM. So, overall it is a low-budget average phone but good for new users.

At the current price, it really is a bargain buy to consider.
