This is my First Samsung mobile in my 9 long years of smartphone usage. Was always critical of Samsung and its boring, beaten to death designs with little specifications compared to competition and higher price point. This view of me has changed in the past two three years, they had continuously evolved and their market share itself proves it very well.
This J series is their best range I would say, the last year version itself was superb one, but the news of updated version made me wait for three months and finally ordered it on the launch date itself, got it delivered the next day that is 11th May by 10.30am.amazing, jet speed delivery by flipkart.
Coming to the mobile, the design is the main attractive point, makes you drool over it with the metal frame with stunning metal cut at the edges, and smooth chamferred sides.the minute works on the design front makes it a premium looking mobile, no where felt like a midranger.the back with brushed design looks awesome.the golden color gives the rich feel, I would suggest anyone to go with this color.
The Amoled screen looks stunning with vibrant colors and crispy images, its a pure delight to watch the screen, full on marks for this to samsung for giving a wonderful screen experience, once looked into it anyone will definitely fall for it.though it is HD screen, it felt perfect with amoled screen, the same resolution in other mobiles comes nowhere near samsung.
The Touchwiz OS has come a long way, it is the perfect one which is amazingly optimised for a hassle free lovely user interface.the icons, the gestures, and the extra features given are all superb, nice touch in giving the notifications in the icons itself.Running on Android Marshmallow, it is amazingly swift in moving through the applications, snappy and buttery smooth performance.coupled with 2GB ram and Exynos octacore clocked at 1.6GHz moves along well with the speed of our thoughts.The camera clarity, both front and back were amazing.clicked beautiful pictures, the images are sharp and crisp.there was no lag anywhere felt in the last four days usage, no heating which is a major relief.
