Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) has made a non-official appearance on benchmarking platform AnTuTu. As a result, we have some details on what the low-end phone will pack in terms of hardware as well as software.
It has been coming thanks to the many rumors that have been trending the web. With this appearance, we can reveal that Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) will come with decent specifications for a device in its price range. There are 2GB RAM, 8MP snapper and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on board, however, you might be disappointed with the 720p resolution.
Samsung failed to release a Galaxy S6 Mini to succeed the S5 Mini. Instead, the company turned to a new line of products that include the Galaxy J series. With this new Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016), the South Korean tech giant is targeting those who want a new product with state of the art hardware and software, yet they cannot afford to buy the flagship Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
