Launched last year as the cheapest device in Samsung’s Galaxy J2-6, the Galaxy J2-6 was its Super AMOLED display. The rest of its hardware was extremely unimpressive, and the J2-6 flew under the radar as a result. It wasn’t very widely available either, but according to Samsung, it went on to become the best-selling Galaxy 4g smartphone, at least in the Indian market.
Still, it is surprising to see that the Korean manufacturer has put so much work behind the Galaxy J2-6(2016), the successor to the Galaxy J2-6. Samsung hasn’t made major changes to the hardware, but the device is special because of its Smart Glow notification ring, a feature developed by Samsung India as an alternative to a regular notification LED. Samsung has also put in what it calls Turbo Speed Technology(TST), a fancy name for software optimization the company says improves performance despite the underpowered hardware ticking away inside.
