It is good mobile from samsung . after their failiure in the mobiles like galaxy youn, y etc this model is more better than of those galaxy models


The Samsung J2(6) takes a lot of cues from the company’s previous generation flagships. The Galaxy S6 in particular comes to mind when you first spot the phone. Now, you’d be remiss to imagine that the phone is absolutely extraordinary in terms of design language but we like the attention to detail. The curves are all in the right places and the phone feels extremely comfortable and astonishingly light when held in the hand. It’s a small mystery how Samsung manages that with their phones.

The front has a 5 inch 720p display flanked by a not-insignificant bezel on both the sides. Up top and at the bottom, you have large bezels that incorporate the proximity sensor and 5MP camera above the display. Below the display is the centered home key, a standard feature of most Samsung devices. On either side are capacitive keys that correspond to back and multitasking features. Do note that the phone lacks an ambient light sensor so it won’t adjust brightness levels on its own. There’s scratch resistant glass on the front but of a generic variety.

The entire device is made of polycarbonate but there’s a metal finish band running along the edges. The very small bezel helps keep the screen off a flat surface and should ideally prevent some scratches too. Over on the right side is the power button while the left sports volume keys. While the power key is well-defined, we wish that the volume button was better segmented, as such the mushy feedback leaves a bit to be desired. There’s an audio jack at the top and a microUSB port at the bottom.

Flip the handset over and you’ll straight away spot the highlight feature of the phone. Surrounding the top and centered 8MP camera is a Smart Glow unit. Effectively, these are RGB LEDs surrounding the camera module. We’ll talk more about that below. There’s also a single LED flash and speaker grille that can be found on either side of the camera module.

The Smart Glow feature is one of the most unique aspects of the Galaxy J2(2016). A very different take on a notifications LED, the ring can be configured to glow in practically any color of your choice. You can also set different colors for individual apps that can make it very easy to know exactly what notification you have. The LED ring also lets you know when your battery drops below a certain level. Perhaps a bit gimmicky but a cool function built into the phone is that when taking a selfie with the rear camera, the phone uses facial recognition to track your face. The LEDs glow a solid color once the face is perfectly in the frame and automatically takes the photograph.

While somewhat derivative, it is clear that Samsung hasn’t really taken a back seat on the design end. Textured lines run al around the sides of the phone and seamlessly merge into each other around the center of the rear cover. The Samsung logo sits below this phantasmagoria of lines.
