The Battery life is awfully low and 512 MB RAM is also too low. Otherwise the handset is good. Compared to it’s price, the screen size and other features are good.
Being an LCD unit, the colors aren’t at all vibrant, and the display feels a tad drab in terms of colors and contrast.
Performance on the Galaxy J1 is bad.
From the first boot of the phone, things were constantly slow to happen. There were stutters throughout the interface, with animations not at all smooth most of the time. Apps were slow to launch as well, though this was more an issue on some of Samsung’s inbuilt apps rather than third-party ones.
