The Galaxy J2(2016) design feels refreshing. Unlike J3 and a few other J series handsets, the Galaxy J2 2016 makes no bones about being a plastic handset. Gone are the faux leather back and the gaudy chrome finished plastic edges desperately trying to pass as metal. Instead, the new Galaxy J2 flaunts a matte finish polycarbonate back that is adorned with a broad strip of multiple-ridges that extend and flow all over the side edges.The camera module is surrounded by a Smart Glow light which looks great, especially when it glows.
The front is like most other Samsung phones(or like original J2), but the 720p HD AMOLED screen and rounded corners add to the overall appeal. The display is followed by a physical home button flanked by recent apps and back capacitive keys. Other hardware buttons – the Volume Rocker and Power Key – provide good tactile feedback.
The Galaxy J2 looks better than other budget J series handsets around.
