Samsung’s latest budget offering Galaxy J2 2018 has officially made its way to the Nepali market. The handset is a successor to last year’s J2 2017 and comes with some aesthetic as well as internal improvements.
Booting on a bit dated Android 7.1 Nougat, the Samsung Galaxy J2 2018 has a 5-inch Super AMOLED display and 950 x 540 pixels of resolution. Inside is the Snapdragon 425 chipset replacing the Exynos one as seen in its predecessor. Running the show is 2GB of RAM and a mere 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded via microSD card.
Focusing on its camera; at the rear is an average 8MP camera with an LED flash and at the front is a 5MP selfie camera with an LED flash either. At least, that’s something positive for users who want to click a budget selfies.
The 4G VoLTE supporting phone is powered by a decent 2,600mAh battery inside. The battery should at least give you a respectable on-screen time considering its low-res display. Besides that, the phone has also some software treats up its sleeves, including dual messenger and a pre-installed Samsung Health.
Pricing and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy J2 2018 is now available for purchase all over Nepal with a price tag of Rs. 14,590.
The market of Nepal is filled with loads of budget alternatives and the Samsung Galaxy J2 2018 is one of them. While the phone still leaves something to be desired for and you might make a sour face seeing the specs sheet, it’s still an appropriate choice for people who are unready to leave the “Samsung” branding. If not, there are lots of other better choices you might wanna check.
