According to leading critics reviews, based on user experiences, Samsung Galaxy J2 is a budget smartphone for entry level. Samsung has a reputed brand value since long past. This phones unique AMOLED screen with HD appearance is the USP of the smartphone. The 4G connectivity and Snapdragon processor are the other lucrative features. But the phone comes with an average battery capacity with average camera features. Sound quality is not very good and so does the RAM. So, overall it is a low-budget average phone but good for new users.

With the competition in the entry-level smartphone segment tightening with the recent arrivals of Xiaomi, Vivo and other brands, Samsung is trying to hold its fort together with this latest smartphone. With an updated J2 model to be launched soon this season, the mobile manufacturer has put its all in this smartphone, which is a good sign for both users and the company itself. At the current price, it really is a bargain buy to consider.
