Samsung has made notable upgrades to the design of the original Galaxy J2, so much so that the 2016 iteration looks nothing like its predecessor. The screen size has been bumped to 5 inches(from 4.7 inches), making the device bigger in size. The overall look from the front is no different than other budget Samsung smartphones, but the back is where the major changes come into play. Remember the stripes that ran around the sides of the Galaxy Note 3, giving it a notebook-like look and feel? The Galaxy J2(2016) has a similar texture around the sides of the removable back panel, and these stripes also make their way across the middle of the panel right below the camera, speaker and LED flash. Samsung’s logo is imprinted on these stripes, and all of this makes for a rear design that’s rather different from what we have seen on any mainstream Galaxy smartphone in the past.The Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy J2 was the best thing about the device, and that continues to be the case with the J2(2016). The screen resolution has shot up to 720p from qHD, but since the display is bigger by 0.3 inches, the increased resolution doesn’t really make for a sharper viewing experience.
The Galaxy J2(2016) brings a considerable upgrade in the camera department. Replacing the 5-megapixel and 2-megapixel rear and front cameras of the original J2 are 8-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. An 8 MP rear camera isn’t the least bit interesting, but the front camera’s resolution is now on par with that of Samsung’s flagship smartphones.
The Galaxy J2(2016) runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, with the latest version of Samsung’s TouchWiz interface on top. Like other Galaxy J devices, there are a few exclusive features here that aren’t available on any other Galaxy lineup. S Bike mode, which debuted on the Galaxy J3 and later came to the both iterations of the J5 and J7, is available on the new J2 as well. According to Samsung, 56 percent of users who have a phone with S Bike mode use the feature for more than 90 minutes each day, which are impressive numbers.
thankss.
