Samsung Galaxy J2 (2017) - User Reviews

  • You`re right but this Specs is about Galaxy J2 2017 not 2015!

  • J2 android os is 5.1.1. Lollipop...this web discription fake...

  • not a good phone

  • Yes it's 5.1.1

  • How do you know that's it's 5.1.1

  • Good phone.

  • Yes.fake info J2 2017 is Android 5.1

  • fake info not have android 7.0. 5.1.1 is available on this phone.

  • Good screen size but crap specs :(

  • This thing is a piece of trash, at most I would pay 50 bucks for it. Yet it's 150 bucks... I've seen flip phones better than this. I hope nobody is dumb enough to get it.

  • Dont buy it.They run high end Android 7.0 on an 8 Gb internal mem.Like WTF samsung ? Seriously ? Just think for one second.s

  • Simple answer DON'T buy ...

  • I'm going to buy sumsung J2. Is the camera sound good? Is it okay to download the battery for a few days before being drained

  • Even my j1 ace neo 2017 is faster than j2 2017 if samsung keep on making phones that is under 1.5GHT of prosser than will j series become unlikely a bad phone samsung must try making the all new samsung j1 pro 2017

  • I will give samsung 120€ if they let me to not use this phone.

  • 2015 cpu

  • Even the 2016 model was better than this new one. I hope no one will buy this and production will be cancelled. The development costs would no longer exist and other, better phones would maybe get cheaper.

  • rest of the mobile companies making phones with higher specs with low prices and samsung doing this opposite, this not the era of using 1Gb ram phone with 5mp cam. if this will continue huawaii will be the cheapest brand in good spesc as huawaii introduce its Mate 10 lite in just 300USD.

  • Worst samsung phone. All J 2 (2016), J 2 (2017) are worst phone aver. High price with low quality. These SAMSUNG AMOLED Screen phones have some major screen problems. don't buy these phones.

  • Samsung is repeating same thing in J series and prices are so high. People should look at Nokia, they provide more specs and built quality in same price.

  • j2 15, j2 17 same

  • where is naugat

  • This is the J200F for 2016 with nougat lol... Hardware is the same

  • This Device Spec Is Too Low For J Series In 2017. Degraded From J2 (2016).

  • how many same phone siries samsung want come out with??10?20?lol sad lagsung already lack of idea

  • Well....it all depends who uses it, it's also so sophisticated, you can imagine like the example of this Galaxy J2, when compared to iPhone 8 but it's so different but network same used with GSM, HSDPA and LTE, display have character itself though have same with 4,7 inches but it different resolution, battery Samsung J2 considered more bigger than iPhone 8 and also with different price depends consumer used it and also money suitable people's.

  • Useless Arrival

  • Yeah weird naming

  • In the old days I never tought android was better then ios. But now I have decided is depends on the cell phone network mostly as the speed off internet depends on signal on the phone mostly. Technology will be changing all the time and costant different phones coming out all the time. So no phone is better then the other. That's for the customer to decide. Manufacturing band does not mean everything.

  • Rather buy grand prime than this expensive phone like maybe cost 130 buck but grand prime i can get like 60 to 70 bucks...

  • this phone bad than j1 ace

  • Samsung products are poring and there customer support are the worst they do not even speak English

  • Why gsmarena specified Android Nougat for this as it has same old lollipop 5.0...??

  • We don't understand anything you are saying ! But back to the topic , 1GB of ram ? How is this possible ? My Nexus 7 table has 2gb of ram from 4 years ago and this one has only 1 ? I can't imagine how it works ...

  • Me too

  • I don't understand why it is worse than J2 2016

  • I dont understand why people so love amoled yellowish ?

  • 8 GB of storage and 540p, 8 mp cam? Feels like a 2013-2014 mid-range device. :-/

  • This phone is even worse than the Samsung Galaxy S2!

  • Samsung is this a joke?

  • I don't understand whats the different between the 2015- model.

  • This Galaxy J2 2017 Edition has nothing of 2017 in it. It's exactly the same Galaxy J2 2015, which has just been re-released with a new packaging: The true Galaxy J2 2017 will still be released (and by the model number should actually be the Galaxy J2 2018): This strategy is similar to which it did re-launching the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite Value Edition (Galaxy Tab E 7.0 in some markets) as Galaxy Kids Tab The Lego Ninjago Movie Edition:

  • There is a new disease born under the of samsung named j2 2017,buy a discontinued lumia instead of this joke.

  • removable battery is back! that's one thing samsung is doing right unlike sony. May upgrade if this feature continues .

  • Buy NOKIA 2 rather than this piece of junk. You will enjoy Update OREO also in Nokia 2. Same price group. I agree with one of my friend that Only a fool will buy Samsung J2 2017.

  • Only fools will buy this, j2 2016 is better than this

  • Ideal Screen Size 4.7" Amoled LCD Budget phone! But missing 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM!

  • Amoled is not everything and crying for a little bit bright diisplay which amoled does is a crap.

  • Xiaomi or others don't have amoled...

  • it's not nougat version phone i watched in youtube?

  • what's new??? Between this version and the first one i think only the android version

  • 2GB ram would be good

  • Samsung phone designs are too common.... is there atleast an innovative stylish smartphone product that they’d created?

  • recomand oneplus phone specialy 3t or 5 cheers

  • Yeah u r right, but u forget 128gb storage, and 4 gb ram, and 20 mp dual cam :)

  • Samsung can give Nougat in this 1Gb RAM phone but J7 2015. Samsung is clearly looting customers. Don't buy Shamsung products. Go for stock android phones.

  • Obviously this is clearance stock

  • 2000 mah battery is low it should hv been 2800 mah and camera quality too low

  • Positive side has nougat, maybe ok calls/ Texting/ odd browsing.

  • 2000 battery isn't that a bit low?, 2800 been better.

  • Because of profit. Giving Nougat update to J2 2016 will make Samsung spend money on software development with no return on profit but producing new phone will bring some profit to Samsung.

  • Fresh the old phones is same sell strategy as they did on J7 nxt . they just upgrade OS version and make it re-release . they just be newer because they were popular / good-sell models , most probable , or also it can be for sell Refurbished products OR simply they want to sell old reserved / Available in stock , to free old phones they just upgrade / update of software of NEW RELEASED phone instead of update original models , so they can sell it at same price . they also do it in Grand Prime Plus / J2 Prime , LOL good idea does it make phones cheaper? or just newer android ? btw samsung still is a good company, they are number one at first for years

  • Samsung is cheating INDIAN customers by launching J2 (2015) in new box pack. Shame on Samsung. ( No. 1 trusted brand in India ??? )

  • Why samsung can't release the nougat update for the existing J2 2015s, instead of releasing a new J2

  • why samsung launched this phone? after comparing both "Samsung Galaxy J2 - 2017" and "Samsung Galaxy J2 - 2015", I found that both are the same device with same specifications. Then what is the reason to launch. Worst launch of Samsung.

  • I think the only drawback is the camera, 5 mp, it should have an 8 mp rear camera and yeah 2 mp front camera, if entry level at least it should have 8 mp rear camera.

  • In my opinion for the year that I arrived this phone still is a vinteage at least fingerprint detector or water resistance was needed

  • Why the f*@! does this phone exist in 2017? An at this price? You better burn your money, than to buy this sh!@.

  • how shamesung re-release new j2 , which likes first version more than 2016 version ? LOL just a little think. clearance of j2 stock , this is not 2017 just because android version

  • It is 2017 version not 2015

  • Does 2015 version get 7.0 update directly

  • It's android version is (lollipop) 5.1.1 NOT (nougat) 7.0

  • Just a crap. no upgrade. buy a 15 edition j2 with a lower price if 4g is not necessary to u

  • Definitely not worth the money. Too expensive for its price. Xiaomi 4A cost aproximetly same and its 20 times better.
