One of our major gripes with the Samsung Galaxy J2 is that it looks overly familiar to many previous company smartphones circa the Galaxy S III era. In terms of looks it’s nothing bold. On the contrary, Samsung is moving forward with its J-series strategy and bets on a safe, proven design we first saw in 2013. The design wasn’t particularly striking back then when it was introduced with the S III and is decidedly long in the tooth now.
On the front, there’s a 4.7" qHD display with fairly large bezels. Just like the Galaxy J5, Samsung has skimped on the ambient light sensor or a notification light.
Turn the phone around and you would see the 5MP main camera placed in the center with the single LED flash on its left and a mono-speaker on the right side.
Display
The Galaxy J2 is built around a 4.7" Super AMOLED screen. It packs modest qHD resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 234ppi. That’s only a slight upgrade from the Galaxy J1 and its WVGA screen.
