  • No. It has a screen shot. Press and hold Volume down plus power button at the same time.

  • It's a good responsive phone ,but it lags a few things like the application permission access and stuff. As well as ,it has nothing good ,I feel Samsung just made this big useless phone look good. Atleast give us a update for Android 9 , maybe it'll then have a few better features .

  • Set front camera to 5.0MP Back on to 8.0 MP

  • This fono is too bad, no screen shot, no dual sim, its has something horrible which the sim can't fit, only for nano card. Can I return it, may its a factory faults.

  • this phone does not have notification light/led

  • i bought this. i love it. the camera is a little bad. But i have a question. Can you update this to Android 9.0

  • I bought it last month and i cant seem to find the NOTIFICATION LIGHTS.ive downloaded couple of apps but still nothing.

  • I bought this phone and all now I can't download Whatsapp. All it says is download pending for about 3 weeks now.

  • can anyone help , cant change font style

  • Not what i expected from them

  • I bought this phone with much luv for Samsung but now i regret ever buying it wish i can take it back to samsung factory so they can re-do it again and install video calling and some other apps. i am so disappointed.

  • I hate the fact that it does not have some apps and that its extremely difficult to download some apps. I have been a Samsung customer for a while but the j4 core is dissapointing

  • I regret to buy that kind of samsung it's not good at all

  • If you found another way to download apps WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY HOW???

  • I have the phone for 3 days now, am bettling with network. I regret buying it, it is totally not what I expected from Samsung, it sucks!

  • Ever since i bought this phone i have never sent any message..when i am trying to send it keep on telling me review messages and try again I don't even know what is that

  • Same with mine.no voice recorder,no photo editing..

  • I got this phone and my first thought was oh god wats the camera quality and honelsty it was terrible it's looks dusty I can't download anything and it's just annoying I definately gonna stick w apple

  • True its so hard to download considerihg its a 4G device

  • it doesn't have Microsoft officer, plz add Microsoft last update.

  • For what I use my phone I can use this no problem, the thing is if you can have a way better M10 for the same or less than this why you pick this? It's just plain stupid.

  • For y'all who are saying this device sucks, your wrong. Your not supposed to be using this phone as a daily driver, its a go phone. Thats why it may not be nice for daily use but this phone is a really good one to have just in case.

  • I wouldn't buy it at that price either but yeah, that price sounds about right for what you are getting.

  • This is overpriced for an android go device

  • Consider the galaxy M10/M10 32 gb WAY better phones for a very similar price from what I see. Why Samsung made this useless phone I can't explain, maybe to find some guinea pigs to test android go.

  • It's like a grand prime but big screen and no removable battery. You need to be dead broke to consider getting this loser.

  • really i just bougth one :-(

  • i have it for only three weeks and selling it. contact ring tone dololo

  • Let's not get other people confused about the comments, rather tell them the truth. This phone s****k! I so regret buying it.

  • Camera quality so poor!!! 😭😭😭&#128­557;😭 I regret buying this fone

  • I feel this phone has issues with downloading Apps. i just bought it and have been trying to download Apps in the past 7 days.

  • For downloading apps using play store with Samsung galaxy j4 core, please first create or insert your mail address, then try it later!

  • Thanks really help me a lot

  • Please help. I already download the app. However, when I try to open the app then it again could not respond. The message pop out on the mobile screen . The screen stack or display so I cannot turn off the mobile.

  • I love this phone it works really properly but i can't download apps from Google play store. Can someone maybe have an idea how to download apps using this phone, galaxy j4 core. Any different way to use, please help.

  • I don't like the camera, the picture quality is blurry

  • Check the FILES app and click on download,which app are you using for downloading

  • I love this phone so much. It's really good for it's price. Even though I cannot download from the play store, I found another way to download apps. This phone is great. I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a nice cellphone but with low cost. Camera is not too bad. The display is really nice. I really like this phone.

  • This is nice phone, the exterior design is very nice and exceptional, the device functions very good.

  • I was just gifted with this phone. Camera rubbish Cant even download omman facebook from playstore let alone whatsapp ... play store aint working

  • Also try below

  • Playstore is not working for some days now on this phone. Not sure why, but use apk download e.g facebook.apk or taxity.apk

  • How's the picture quality..? That's my only concern

  • How the hell samsung lunch a phone with 1gb ram in 2018

  • I can't download app

  • How do I install apps here

  • Please can you inform me how to install apps here. I have been tying but couldn't succeed.

  • I can't install any app no fb no whatsup no messenger nothing store didn't work

  • Wow I got on this page because I was browsing to see the opinions about the camera's quality because i dont like the camera. I thought maybe i bought a fake one. Only to realise through your comment that there's also no voice recorder! Wow i wasted money... mine too doesn't have voice recorder app!!

  • It doesnt have some Applications that it must have like Voice record app Why? I need to know guys maybe i bought a fake samusng j4 core

  • I cant download anyting on using device its brand new not why

  • I am looking foward to buying this phone, as a 2nd phone from the S5 I currently have. I've noticed everyone is complaining about memory size, "it's not the size that counts but how wisely you use it"... You cannot buy a cheap phone and expect to have it all. I suggest you buy the Samsung S9+ for those who complain about memory Kind regards It's just a phone!

  • Phones had less than 256MB RAM back in '08.

  • Learn how to optimise your phone, I got a Galaxy S2 and it performed well surprisingly after turning off unnecessary options like location, notifications, syncing, data etc. in the settings. 1GB RAM is best for phones with Android 6.0.1 and below, Android 7.0 kinda ruined it.

  • I will never buy a phone with 1gb Ram

  • Best phone for normal use. Definitely not for youth. My dad is happy with his news reading and social media, big screen with google go experience. 1 gb ram is enough for Android google go

  • I am using this phone.at first i also think like u that this is waste of money but..after using it.i was amazed.. It has excellent battery performance,superb ultra hd screen.powered by android go.. I am running insta fb whatsapp paytm and many useful apps without any hang.. It has 1 gb ram i agree but its internal is 16 gb and is expandable with micro sd card.. I am liking this phone

  • did samsung invite your sister to buy this phone? NO did samsung force your sister to buy this phone? NO blame your sister. why blame samsung?

  • my sis bought this phone for me as a gift. It's total bulshit. one hell of a phone

  • 1GB of RAM is a total bullshit

  • I'll buy it if it's 50 euro

  • this phone is a new joke from samsung.

  • i really hate that people just write reviews without try phone... here not fun place .. if you didn't try phone we don't need to hear your review about how other brands is better... also i tried xiaomi .. lenovo .. huawei ... yes they more cheap with better hardware but their are never as samsung ... that phones have lower performance than samsung ... what i like in samsung they know exactly how make phones that software and hardware is compatible ... not give high hardware with sooo small battery that make your wooow phone from other brand empty battery in no time .. also there touch screen that work more smoothly and great not like other brands that keep hanging or like Xiaomi that you can't use touch if you don't hold phone with hand ... so stop give us lessons and reviews if you didn't try that phone we don't need to hear your fake experience

  • J4+ is the real waste for money it is way overpriced

  • Agreed

  • one g ram are kidding me

  • other brands are moving to the future, and samsung back to the past to 2008. bye bye samsung.

  • RAM 1GB wasting money I prefer J4 plus to this one

  • I used Oreo Go in 1GB ram. It could not run messenger, facebook, Uber, and literally any app over 25mb. I was not able to run two apps at once. Threw that away.

  • 1GB RAM, I've seen phones from 6 years ago with more RAM. And seriously, the display (more specifically the resolution and PPI) is really awful. It's definitely not sharp at all.

  • i agree 1gb ram is enough..but when you put more apps and all. its hangs like anything..min 2gb ram is needed so that to get a midrange type performance ..i have used nokia 1 and all.

  • which is limited than true android os, with this price you can get better phone than this shit samsung low end phone with laughable hardware and software but with overprice tag. maybe thats why i never seen someone in my city use samsung recent low end phone (mostly they use oppo branded realme, zenfone max pro, xiaomi and huawei that offer more but with cheaper price) if samsung not change their strategy for their low end phone iam afraid it will go like sony in my country

  • Nokia 5.1 is not android Go phone

  • 1gb ram is enough for android Go

  • Samsung always better and remember this is android Go

  • It is one gb of ram not 512ram u can expand sd up to 512gb read carefully

  • This is android Go 5years past there was no android Go

  • For those who are concerned about only having 1GB of RAM, have you even tried an Android Go phone before? An Android Go phone with only 1GB is sufficent as long the processor is decent.

  • Xiaomi here i come

  • true, even my 5 years old phone which i still own (note 3) its much much better than this shit

  • Since this is an Android Go phone, the 1GB RAM is probably not its biggest issue. It should run the lightweight Go and Lite apps decently. The rest of the phone, however, is full of pathetic hardware at price of 150 euros.

  • Sammy, why are you joking with your customers, J4 plus really abig disappointment

  • Soon J4 Core Prime with 512 K RAM ? Bye bye Samsung, Huawei here i come...

  • Samsung, how low can you go...fighting the cheap chinese phones but with great specs, with such a crappy phone...i am definitely leaving Samsung.

  • There are waaaay better phones for 150$, way. Even from Samsung.. thats a point, 1GB of RAM is to low.

  • And 1GB of RAM, but i think thats to much..

  • Samsung On8; J7 pro are better choices.

  • 1GB Ram. Samsung we are in 2018 and not 2010..

  • No this is what smartphones should have been no FP Scanner , On Screen Buttons and no Face Recognition

  • Budget trash now got sealed battery as well.

  • goodwork? for 150? fanboyism

  • Finally a phone without FP Scanner good work Samsung

  • Nokia 5.1 Plus is also 150 euros. Samsung should stop manufacturing budget phones.

  • @crazy, yo right. 1gb ram is a total joke. nway Samsung has always sucked on Ram.

  • Haha Who gonna buy this phone 1gb ram, sd425, 720p display, no fingerprint scanner, 16gb internal for 150euro in Indian 12,500 hahah what a joke Samsung going to fool own customers who trusted most

  • What did I just seen? a 1GB of RAM lol its a Joke man... Another Joke is, they have written 512 GB expandable Storage. I wonder how 1 GB RAM is going to help reading the 512 GB SD Card? Probably A Lagful Phone of the Year 2018...

  • I think sir, that you might have some kind of "brain damage". We are not complaining that the specs are too low, we are complaining that specs so low have a price at which you can get a much better package, with actual flagship like specs, from companies like xiaomi, meizu, oppo and even huawei.

  • J4+ Lite. But for the rest, it's a good package for an Android Go phone

  • It will available in market in 2019

  • 1gb ram in 2019 ??? i buy xiaomi.

  • why a snapdragon 425? oh, I forget, it's Samsung, and Samsung is God.

  • and realme too

  • All these comments... There should be no $150 phones! All phones must be $850 flagships! People who can't afford $850 shouldn't be allowed to have phones! If someone makes a $150 phone then it must still have $850 flagship specs! You can't make phone calls and send SMS with $150 phones! Phones only work if they cost $850! You must literally have brain damage. There is no other explanation for your "only flagship phones are allowed" reasoning. It's a fully working Android Go phone for $150. It can do everything except play high-end 3D games. Stop complaining.

  • 28 nm in 2019 ? while other phones have 10nm and even 7nm !!

  • Good day everyboy. Its my honor, its my pleasure, its my pride to present you the best Samsung 2018 flagship phone J4 Core. Core is very important its the motherboard of whole company :-) Anyway Samsung why so cheap??? Only 150 euros? Thats a huge surprise.

  • Hi,the (ANDROID GO edition ) needs less than 1GB RAM (google official website ) please open your eyes and DO NOT COMPARE it to usually version of android. Thanks :)

  • Don't waste your money on this useless phone there are so many better options from xiaomi meizu and asus

  • even my 3 years old phone better than this..

  • It optimizes the phone very well for less powerful chipsets.

  • Hi, I just wanted to know what do you mean by Android GO?

  • ***2018

  • 6.0 inch lcd display with 720p ??? (wtf) also 1gb ram ??? (lol) and not mention the camera its.. i dont know what to say xd, and also no fast charging for that 3300mah battery lol :v also no fingerprint and that chipset wtf samsung :v and you want to sell that at 150 eur?????????????? at that price (or bit more) you can get much much better option like realme 2, realme c1, realme 2 pro, redmi 6a, redmi 6, redmi 6 pro, redmi 6x, mi 8 lite, redmi note 6 pro, zenfone max pro m1, etc

  • I thank God for other phone companies..To me Samsung folks are like con artists.. 150 dollars/euros (cannot remember what I saw there) is laughable for a 1gn RAM phone..

  • You dont seem to understand that it runs Android Go. I for one dont understand why the phone need to be so big for android go and then so expensive. You can get a lot better options that have even 4GB ram options with full androids for lesser price.

  • At least it has 16gb of storage

  • Yes, to avoid someone saying : in 2019, no 150$ smartphone We need smartphones for every classq

  • what in oblivions is this ?? sentries what do you see? a phone with 1gb of ram in 2019 may the gods have mercy on us

  • its a go edition dear, a software that needs minor hardware to run smoothly

  • WTF - 1 gb ram - why is Samsung even making phones... LOL

  • in 2019, 1gb ram? LOL
