Samsung Galaxy J Max - User Reviews

  • I had a 7 inch phablet I am anxious to buy this phone by Samsung . I loved the one I had by huawaei honor

  • Sometimes it is found the mobile is hanged. In that time I update software. Then the problem is temporary removed. If I update software time to time wheather it will take any extra space in memory storage or not. If you give me the answer I will be thankful to you.

  • It is a tablet, just so happens to make phone calls and send/receive SMS.

  • Very small for a tablet making it uncomfortable to use.

  • So this is totally not a tablet, unless is a Galaxy tab 7 (2016). Is just a phablet with 7 inch. So is this samsung j max are the same phablet category as the xiaomi mi max 3? Is it anything to compare with xiaomi mi max 3 or huawei mediapad X2?

  • I like a lot to this phone

  • It says my device Samsung galaxy j max Ispeed not compatible to pubg.How do I make it compatible?

  • How do install pubg mobile game in j max

  • sir how i can root J Max tablet

  • My galaxy j max dont show some apps.its phone,play stor,play music,goole,splaner,galaxy apps.factory reset,apps maneger ar hidden.can not do anything.pls solved this problem.

  • Yes, you can use both Facebook or Facebook lite app on this device. Regards.

  • facebook install yes are no

  • First of all J Max tablet and J7 Max is phone are different devices. They are not same by any means. Second, you should post your issue in J7 Max thread where the other users can help you. Here no one can help you as J Max users are different. Third, you should visit a nearby authorized Samsung service center for help. Regards.

  • I bought j7 max 6 month before and it shut it self down anytime .. and doesnt trun on .. so i have to press volumeup down and power button each time it is shut !! What is the cause of this?? Are anyone facing same Problem!

  • mi max 2 isnot a tab, its a phablet

  • i am using it 1 year and 2 month stil running perfectly, still i get great battery backup. its a great tab every games and apps run smothly. only high grapics games lag. its simple its have poor cpu and gpu. great camera both in good light and low light, good design and build quality, the only reason i dont like its have low storage.

  • The device is too slow in file transfer and other processes. a phone this good should have had a very good speed also. Why did they not include finger sensor in j max? I mean, older versions have it

  • Yes install es explorer from play store for more options

  • Very slow too slow I don't know why Samsung made this type of things which are very slow. Its a very poor choice and making the Samsung company name bad.

  • This phone has good battery life.. will get around 12 hrs even if we use Internet. But very poor storage space. As many of the apps can't be transferred to memory card it is creating much problem. Camera is very very poor...sometimes it get hanged ultimately better don't go for this tab.

  • can i up-grate to Nougat

  • Has anyone rooted their j max phone yet?? Ii tried like every rooting app but still cant do it.. if someone has done can u tell me what are all the procedures? Thanks in advance

  • Yes supports i tried.

  • Otg support yes or no

  • Today i compared many smart phones like nokia 3 nokia 5 coolpad note 5 nubia phones motorola phones with samsung jmax tab i read all reviews from respective users common complaint about all models mentioned above r over heating hanging software and battery issues like fast drain time consuming charging they have even mentioned that inspite of 2 gb or 3gb ram also they r getting only 0.8gb ie 800mb free My samsung j max tab gives 750 mb free ram all the time note its present memory is full then also I charge it ofcourse it takes time but it never gets heated No hangs not even single time noticed No lags noticed only if u clear cache regularly Battery last for more then 1 day no matter what u do All apps games heavy games runs smoothly I was wandering to change to smartphone but after reading various latest models review of their current users i say i have the best and great device in my hand Final word at present there is nothing better than j max tab in market buy it blindly and its supports 256 gb sd card which no brand smart phone can give. So forget all smart phones just buy this tab and enjoy life with its big display Or buy that crumpy smartphone and regret full paisa wasool bhai Hatsoff samsung !

  • After using it for seven months i would say this is best gadget i ever had no complaints whatsoever i f u want a tension free tab free from pain then buy this its price has come down but before it discont To those who say they cant play games on it just for them i say lol I have atleast 30 games installed They work flawlessly No lags no hang never Infact i would say that its an gaming tab indeed because of big and brightest screen you will never turn to any 5in smart phone ever guarantee. Problem could only arise in this tab if u download third party apps ie out of play store its recent updates by samsung has made this tab even smoother Guys so dont listen to any one else I say buy it now itself its the best tab u can have i used it for 7 months not even single hang till now. U can see down i have reviews before also check name raj So bye and yes do buy this tab full paisa wasool! No need to thanks me.

  • Hello, please tell me how did u transfer the apps to sd card? When ever I attempted doing so , the button of 'transfer to sd card' is deactivated😦 Can we download apps directly to the sd?

  • Honestly saying this tab is not for gaming. If you want a tab or big screen than you may consider Mi Max 2 which has more powerful processor, RAM/ROM and battery. As for this tab, with 1.5 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM; It is best for multimedia and social networking like my father uses. Regards.

  • yes

  • Hi sir.my name Phani..please tell me .how much big games run this tab without lag....

  • Love you j max....

  • I can on my mock location app but I cannot set the mock location app.I searched the full settingstory I cannot find please help me

  • Whatsapp no support tablet But do google search 'whatsapp for tablet'

  • I have problem with my Samsung Galaxy J Max., I can't install whatsapp application because it is telling me is no compatible, and, I should contact the manufacturer. Please I need your assistance in this regard.

  • If you use SHAREIT app make sure to close it by using back button. I noticed that when you exit it via HOME button and cleared it in Recent apps, the Wifi will be left open. Same goes if you are the one receiving, the tethering is left open.

  • To all of those who are faceing screen sensitivity problem.they must update there firmware regularly and check the update every month and see the miracle...(J MAX)

  • Don't buy this tab waste of your money .with in 16 days my device is dead .Samsung has no provision for replacement. They repaired the device but the complaint is not rectified yet.

  • J7 max wifi automatically On in which reason rply plz Isn't phone is a complaint or not

  • Use memory card and tha tab is good according to its price

  • My camera has stopped working....wat to do?

  • Speaker quality is low but only for ringtones i installed high pitch ie loud ringtones from play store free so now low speaker quality hardly matters anymore.

  • How is the speaker quality ?

  • Iam using this tab from 6 months many people say it has low inbuilt memory its true the solution to this is install a memory card in this tab and transfer all apps whichever possible to sd card like this way i have installed many apps and never faced shortage of memory and secondly always keep clearing its cache in settings-storage and always keep at least 600mb memory free of internal to let it perform with no lagging problems Iam enjoying this tab especially gaming is awesome in big screen infact this is the best gadget i ever had if u have this tab u r really lucky it also recieves regular updates from sam uncle ie samsung thanks for reading till end chao.

  • How dumb is that ? 16gb storage will just increase the cost of this product by 10 dollars . But at least that will make the product use able . And probably increase the sale by 50 percent . How many of us just don't want to buy this only for the reason that's it's 8 gb . How stupid is that

  • This is j max tablet not j7 max

  • While running the video or song the voice of the video become stop after the interval of time which is the big fault of the set

  • Front Camera is not that good. I think j 7 prime(8 mp) has better front camera than J7 max(13 mp).

  • This is J max tablet not j7 max phone

  • Hello Friends, I bought Samsung Galaxy J Max yesterday but touch is not good. Did you find any problem like this?

  • Hi friend I brought the Samsung j7 max today and getting the problem of hanging please in handset please let me know what yo do

  • plz tell me about the screen .

  • Supports 256 GB Details 9999880000

  • It can be rooted by the third party app named king root ......it is the best and easiest method

  • it is an superb tablet ever I seen with good cpu system and it's CPU is so fast it is an fantastic tablet it is an phablet

  • I can easily transfer my 3rd party apps and games to sd card...j max

  • Don't Buy this Tablet you will regret it. Most bad part is the internal memory. It is so pathetic Its internal memory is 8 gb but after system occupies the half you will get around less than 3 gb to install apps just installs 1 game with a data file your memory is full. Why on earth Samsung make such products ? Rest of the configuration is descent but they just did not cared to give some extra internal memory. You may be wondering about rooting but none of the procedures or application available in the internet can route this phone right now. Maybe marshmallow has the option to use sd card as internal storage but this device runs with lollipop 5.1.1. and the most pathetic part is there is no good firmware support or updatable firmware available for this model even in samsung official firmware site.

  • What is the exact sd card expandable capacity. 200 gb or 256 gb? Has anyone tried using 256 gb memory card in it...then please let me know if it supports 256 gb sd card.

  • heh i just saw this phone and its utter crap

  • Hi Please let me to know how to Root my Samsung JMax...

  • l have been using it for 7 months...i want to tell u something is that it has low wifi range as compare to my old nokia wifi..so i faced problem of disconnection again nd again when i do video calling or wathing youtube whenever i was far from router but my nokia got the signal little bit more than this,,so dont go to far from ur router and forget the disconnection problem...(j max)

  • Setting》mobile networks》network mode》select LTE/3G/2G》OK..........COMPLETED

  • 5.1 lollipop

  • No matter what others say i consider it as a beast tab it can outperform any smart phone in its class using it for long time now its a ferocious beast if u r looking for a long lasting tab with supreme built quality go for it its great peice of craftmanship by samsung iam proud of it.

  • What is the android system name like Icecteam.marshyallow

  • i am using this tab sins sept-2016 touch sensor not so good . 4g both the sim not supported wifi canectivity very poor i always use tab only i feel very sad for this tab this is 8gb inbilt only please improve the standerd

  • I am using it for a month now its perfect no complaints dont even think about it u will enjoy it like hell as me go for it its best and bestest tab superb display

  • It is nice to see a person from Manipur as I am also from Assam. Anyway J Max supports 4g network including LTE or JIO SIM. But if your area has week network connectivity than the device will suffer. Alternatively you can use BSNL SIM if it has better service. Overall I will suggest you should use 2 SIMs. One to calling and other (from the best service provider) go data network. Regards.

  • I don't think it will get Marshmellow update officially. But you can root it and get custom Marshmellow ROM if you are lucky. But again rooting will break the warranty and custom Rom may have its own issues. I will advice you not to get marshemllow on it. In stead use it for few more months and buy a new tab with Android 7. Regards.

  • I wants to upgrade android version into marshmallow.

  • Yes

  • I boughtthe Samsung just max last week in manipur... it has not been able to support 4th network since now... I would kindly request some opinion from you guys.... and the network connectivity is very poor as compare to other tablets

  • It is diffinately a long lasting phone simply superb

  • I have changed mobile phones like hell but was never satisfied with any phone but when i bought this it changed my world i was like in the sky just play any game on its big screen and u will go nuts about it its the best phone i ever had no complaints and remember it doesnt have any sensors except aceelero but that means less sensors more battery and last i would say its battery is top notch Finally if r looking for a decent phone and can cope up with memory space and sensors then there cannot be any thing better then j max mark my words

  • Is this recommendable in Sri lanka ? Hoping to buy it.

  • My samsung galaxy j max tabs sim tray has broken. But there is no way to replace it in sri lanka. Samsung dealers havent it. So nearly 3 months i am using it with only wifi

  • Yes its support otg

  • i have this phone for about more than 5 months nd still i use it,,but i never faced any hang problem with this device,reboot ur device once every week either through automatic setting or manually ,it is good for your tab's health.. ;)

  • Yes. It does.

  • Is this support otg

  • It is same device.

  • Very nic i love this phone i als see this phone here i want to know this phone is same or difrent.

  • I have one J Max also, but never have any touch issues. I think your screen is not original, it is duplicate piece. You should immediately visit A samsung centre to make sure your device is authentic one.

  • hello everyone, i had brought this j max in sep 16.it is a good tab with two sim and highly expandable memory jack capacity..but annoying me is, its touchscreen i dont which type of screen samsung made but it is poor in sensitivity and when i upgarade its software i notice that wifi get disconnect and reconnect automatically several times in just few span of time,though i am in full range.this not happen every day..also the lock screen is poorly designed by samsung,very few themes,no extra folder editing option,only two sensors..all of this shows samsung low productivity in designing its anroid software for this tab.i have j2 ace also,whose screen sensitivity is super,they both have tft screen...but whaterver this tab dont fall completely your expectation..i love to watch hd movies in dark room,love to play small stratigies games in big screen,nd also good for pdf reading,,,good for overall an average person...but sumsung must care about their customer satisfaction...

  • Thanks btw...maybe i will be visiting service centre asking them to revert back to the last update..

  • I am not sure which country you are in. I am from India and I have not got any update for my J Max for last 1 week for sure. I think Samsung provides different updates to different countries. If you tried everything else than you should do at least a "Factory Reset", than visit the service center. If possible try to talk to people in your country who are using the J Max tab. Regards.

  • I know my hardware better...my tab was pretty well enough bfr the update...updated in morning and in the noon the tab hanged...tried to share file using superbeam..was unable to connect to others phone which bfr the update was too easily getting connected...moreover now my wifi takes too long to search for hotspot and after the wifi found keeps on appearing and dissappearing....well i am already a Technocrat so i already have used all booting and clearing cache and safe mode thing.but everything in vein.so don't worry about that.....what really bothers me is the Samsung's old strategy..they send faulty updates to slow down and hang the phone so that people will be forced to buy a new one..i hope this should be not it

  • I don't think your issues are related to the update. As for network network speed reduction, check the SIM settings. Set them to highest settings. Also the hanging issue is due to cache files. You have to clean your full cache to work Android properly. You can do it by either going to boot manager and clean the cache, but do it on your own risk and unless you know how to do it. Or slyly can install "Clean Master" app (free app) from play store and run it once at least every week and clean all the cache, temp files to make your device run better. Regards.

  • Latest update has reduced my network connectivity and my internet speed has degraded too much and my phone has hanged thrice since update....and even i hv got problem with wifi direct...anyone facing same???thankyou

  • Are you crazy????? How would you get improvement when you update your phone J Max because you are in India....

  • I have not noticed any batter performance difference in my J Max after the update.

  • Did latest update which we got 13th feb with security patch dated 1 February decreased battery life of j max??

  • After you connect the data cable to system, you need to unlock the screen of the phone and drag down options(wifi, data etc) screen. There you will be a shown options to change the mode of connect for Charging or media exchange files.

  • Before i felt scared to buy A Samsung Device bcz everyone single Cellphone get HANG AND Drain Battery Life But this J Max really Awesome Battery Backup and processing Speed I really thanks to the all team who Made this Device

  • it says battery life is 4000mah but its weaker than 2000mah battery mobile.. just to see batery life i bought j max tabs to play games..

  • how to backup my pics if i deleted

  • I need j max tablet sim tray please help to purchase Yar...I lost it.

  • Is this good or bad

  • It supports all Airtel, Vodafone, every company of Sim card. It is one of the best phones from Samsung in this price range. I am very happy to buy it. Samsung is the best brand!

  • I recommend every person to buy this excellent phone at such a low price! I purchased it yesterday and I am amazed with it. I also have Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Samsung Galaxy A9 pro. In short, Samsung is the best! No other brands can be compared with it.!

  • Don't your data, just wait for the next update and install it.

  • There is a msg always pops up to update the software. when i download the update, it says it doesn't support. What can i do for that? any suggestions?

  • Finally I got my Jio SIM on my Aadhaar Card (AC). If you AC, your Jio will be activated in within few minutes. Anyway I fit it on my SIM 1 slot and everything is working fine now. Also I have got all the free Jio Apps which are very useful and practical. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with the Jio service for now. So, if you have a J Max model, than you should go for a Jio SIM. Trust me you will not face any problem.

  • Hotspot not working Disconnected after 2-4 seconds In fact most of the devices can't connected through it . Only Samsung devices working fine with its hotspot. My software is updated what can I do ?? Plz suggest me Help me

  • Visit a nearby Samsung brand store. I have bought my J Max from a store also.

  • Where can I buy in Indonesia?

  • yes

  • what's the exact price of J Max in Pakistan and does it have a good camera to take picture

  • Why i upgrate marshmallow?

  • Definitely you can use this device as PDF reader. With Adobe Reader for PDF and UB reader as most the other format, it will be worth a try. As for battery life, if you it for reading purpose, it will last about 3 days easily or more.

  • I wasn't aware of this before ! thanks for this clarification..

  • Is it supports otg cable??

  • If I want to use it as reading pdf purpose ...... How much time I get by onetime charge? Is it good for use as Ebook reader?

  • Good...

  • After the last update the stanby power drew has increased a lot....about 15% battery goes off when phone is resting still

  • all phones have some pros and cons.. J max is good for moderate use with long battery..it fits to my choice...good for students...

  • because your laptop is providing not sufficent or too low charge(may be below 500mA). real charger provide charge of 1.0A for charging this huge battery 4000mAH...

  • best device I have ever seen

  • I have been using J max for the past four months and it's working fine, though at times I feel the battery could last longer. While trying to charge it using usb cable connecting it to the laptop, It's not getting charged. It shows connect as a media device/camera transfer but not showing"charge only" option. Is there a solution for it?

  • All the j phones dosen't have compass sensor

  • It's a tab.not an ipad.ipads made by apple only :(

  • Is sim 2 supports 4g in jmax?

  • Any one know what is the standby time of j max

  • What is the stand by time of j max

  • It is best for students of all age So students do not get flattered by any other phone other than j max.save your parents money and buy this all in one phone. For using in more friendly way Use this at home for all in one purpose. And buy another cheap smartphone for rough use (travelling in public transportation,tutions,office,make payments using ptm)

  • i have this j max phone & my father use nokia 500 model phone.i can charge nokia 500(in emergency) through my j max using otg cable and data cable..same as claimed by asus smartphone released just few months ago..##it makes me happy...

  • Please tell me that how reconnect blutooth with samsung galaxy j max?

  • Cant you Listen to Radio with built in speakers without using Antena.(ear phone) Ps advice

  • I purchased it yesterday and I am very happy with it. It is really an amazing phone. It supports 4G Airtel nano sim card. It has excellent features. It supports full HD videos. Price is also so low. It does not hang. Battery life is good. No heating problem. Look of the phone is excellent! It has large 7 inches screen display which makes it more fantastic! Samsung is the best! It is good for entertainment as well as official purpose. It is tab cum phone. It has Volte and many more!

  • samsung jmax not supported airteil idea 4g sim not supported only jio supported

  • My Samsung galaxy j max any time hang so what is solutions

  • I am using j max since it first comes in market,it is so much comfertable to work in this instead of small screen smart phones..i m so much addicted of big screen now that i hate to use those 5 inch anroid phones... :)

  • Same problem

  • no need to worry bro...you can connect pendrive,mouse and keyboard by otg cable,just u have to do is to buy a otg cable of below 100rs from shop...go for it...

  • I have not tried it yet. But I think it supports OTG.

  • Is it otg supported or not ?

  • Agree with you. It is a practical device in a affordable price. My father uses it heavily on social networking and he says the same like you.

  • It is a very good tab cum phone with very nice features. Video , picture quality is excellent! It supports full HD. The large screen makes it more fantastic to watch You tube. Touch quality is very smooth and easy. I am very happy to buy it. It is a very good phone at such a low, affordable price.

  • Exactly....I went to service centre and they replaced my tablet twice under DOA...BUT the new device had same white screen near corners and near by menu key...seems like it's the issue with all the jobs max tablet

  • I have noticed whitish screen at four corners and near by menu key when whole screen is turned black Touch also not working properly

  • My father uses this device, but I do the maintenance. So, here is my review. Pros: 1. It has nice big screen which is best to see videos, do facebook and read ebooks/PDFs. 2. The keyboard is smooth and responsive, supports multiple language. So, it can also be used to send emails and messaging and chat. 3. The Kid mode is very innovative. If you have kids on house and wants to give them some freedom, than this is the best device. Kid Mode supports many useful apps which are targeted for children. 4. The Front and Back Camera is very good and can be used to video chatting/calling and casual photography. 5. As I have said it is a huge 4000 MiH battery which easily lasts one full day. So, it can be used as phone also. 6. Because of the long battery watching a full movie on the colorful screen is really amazing. Just watched the "Tron The legacy" on this device and trust me, it looked better than my Bravia TV. Cons: 1. It has 1.5 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM which is little drawback, if you want to load huge apps on it. 2. This is not gaming tab, yes you can play light and casual games on it, but not heavy games like Asphalt. 3.The size is portable if you want to carry it on a jeans pocket or bag. But carrying it on your hands looks little awkward. 4. It has Lollipop as OS which was a great OS. But if you want Marshmellow than you should not buy it unless you confirmed about the update. Final Verdict: This is really a tab cum phone. It has everything for normal user. Has excellent screen, good camera, calling facility, long battery life and some innovative feature. At this price it is a good deal, if not excellent.

  • I want to purchase this phone can any one tell me whether it is OTG supported or not ?

  • the big screen is ok but no gyro with compass the need of the day is absent & no provision to upgrade android 5.1 to 7+ android is great drawback , becoz they want to push new hard ware marketing strategy ?????????? any one guide to any mode to up grade software to new android

  • How we can update android version.

  • i love to watch movies in this phone (#Big screen,hd quality movies),(#* j max 2016)

  • may be ur router has problem...

  • After using for more than one month,i can say that this is good phone(samsung j max)for people who wants to read ebooks,do office work,clicking photos and videos,video calling,watching movies,browsing,youtube,social apps etc.as i read newspaper daily in it. I am not interested in playing games in it as i have play station. But samsung can do better in this price range. Gsmarena is a very good site & best platform for choosing best phones and gadgets by comparing them.. You can go for this with trusted samsung brand.... :)

  • Can any one tell whether we can move application to SD card will support in this device?

  • very good phone

  • Indeed very good phone! I am very happy to buy it. I am planning to buy a second one soon for my daughter.

  • Does any one noticed whitish screen at top left corner when whole screen is turned black in any video or when you use hw module test to test black colour by dailing *#0*# . Pls say fast

  • This device has insanely good battery which will last 1.5 days with moderate use. Go for it.

  • Worked for exactly 2 months.then heating problems started,and then went totally dead.have sent it to service centre.not very optimistic reviews about after sales services.just hope they replace the tab.not expected quality of Samsung

  • Connection to wifi network is very bad...even a slight fluctuation in d wifi network the connection goes out completely...they should fix this problem...other than that am fully satisfied with the product. ..

  • I purchased it yesterday. It is simply excellent!

  • A good treat for a tech geek like me. It's a wonderful and master piece to enjoy videos and a good e book.hats off 2 J Max.

  • Spreadtrum ?

  • Not the best but good one ....... Not best for following reason. -> Look and feel average -> 1.5 GB ram -> processor speed : average Good for following reason : well furnished. compatible. eye catching. Smart phone< this phone < tab i.e you are confused whether it is a phone or a tab

  • The cofiguration is low.Atleast 2gb ram,supper amoled led display,video quality must be [email protected] cpu speed should be 2.3 ghz.then it would be an unbeatenable 4G jio volte tablet in the world.

  • Old wine in a new bottle. Thats what this this tab is

  • U should definitely buy it great phone and very good battery backup on wifi and 4g....

  • Am planning to buy it only because it's supporting volte. As am big screen lover and my old lenovo tab s8-50lc touch digitizer is broken. Damn Samsung have no common sense because they don't know the importance of sound, never change their design, always goes mad with dual curve display shit which got no use at all. Now volte support is must coz reliance jio is future. Just for volte am planning to buy it, so I need your experience about its support with Jio sim, like call quality and loud sound from it. Conguse Samsung introduced 1.5gb ram which is Bullshit and which soon replace by 2gb,just like what they did with j7. Sometimes I think it's better to wait until they upgrade it with 2gb. By the way anyone found a 7 inch, volte, dual front facing speakers, 2g ram minimum tab? About J-MAX, howz it's compatibility with REALIANCE Jio, howz call quality, how much the max. 4g speed can we get? Can we make direct video call through native dialer? Is the speaker is enough loud to enjoy audio? Is the Battery is sufficient and at least give 3 hours of continues video watching coz as long as we use Jio, we must on 4g for call purpose? Plz don't mind for long message like this coz instead of searching 100's of websites, I want to know all about real things to know at one place here. Ram, call quality, battery performance, 4g speed of jio with this particular model and max. Speed we can get when we use it as wifi hotspot (using jio sim), heat problems etc. Are the main important things to know I think Rest of the features like cam etc. are not so important One more thing is how much is the available ram after stock apps and is it enough to enjoy and get the speed of max. Of Realiance JIO 4g speed? If we use mx player and play the mkv with hevc or a 4k video than is it playable without any lag?

  • If we use mx player and play the mkv with hevc or a 4k video than is it playable without any lag?

  • Just upgrade it with marshmallow increase RAM and have a VR support (gyroscope) and this phone will be amazing.

  • Poor specs

  • Also not working in J5 2016

  • i want this phone but...please upgrade with marshmallow as soin as possible

  • Can you please share the model number of your device. I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

  • Samsung galexy j7 6 .....camera quality is not setisfation ......

  • I think im satisfied...its not very common for a tab ofering dual sim facility...a good front camera 8 megapixel..images are pretty clear fm fm recording and all other feature of a good smart phone..what else u need..

  • samsung j1(2016) compass is not working

  • Yet, there are no phablet that huge in Canada (I know since I live there!) Your alternatives are the XIaomi Mi Max (Good mid-range phablet the Lenovo Phab2 Pro (great mid-high-end phone, with Tango! , the Galaxy A9 (great phone too, ) Xperia XA Ultra (horrible battery, you've been warned! Xperia C5 Ultra (I do not recommend it but it is up to you. Huawei Honor Note 8 (I honestly recommend it, it is an high-end phone with a beautiful display while being very powerful, take a look at it there: ) The closest to this size is the Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra, with 6.8 inches(but is lower-end than the Honor Note 8; Or you could also consider a tablet with LTE-3G, like the Tab 4 7.0 (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_4_7_­0_lte-6241.php) or a more recent deivce: Tab S2 8.0 with Marshmallow. Ask your Bestbuy/Staples/ other electronic shop if they have the models T719N or T715) I hope I helped! If you have any other question, just tell me!

  • i highly recommended you to purchase any model of OPPP

  • I am looking for a phone this size, but want to buy one with a plan. I live in Canada. What other phones would you suggest?

  • there are better options in the market than this , true things about samsung is that this company is greedy and expensive to satisfy the customers

  • Very bad configuration specially for internal memory

  • I bought it from Bangladesh.

  • Not bad but price is high

  • will this compete with the present mobile world???? veeeryyyy dissappointing samsung!!!

  • "216 ppi pixel density" Where are You going, Samsung? Nokia's way? Sony Ericsson's? What is this... thing? Piece of crap for 3rd World?

  • Is this tablet just for india?or global?

  • Is this tablet gonna be avalibal in the middle east?

  • Stupid, compare the price, It's only Rs 13,400 much lower than Note 4 or 7.

  • Flop model. It should have had 1440p display for this big size. RAM is also very less. Samsung Note 4 or 7 is far more better than this 7 inch crap.

  • It's good, but not the best. Can't expect more from a 8mp rear and 2mp front camera. But with a good lighting it gives clear images !

  • i want know how is its camera quality.........

  • It's a tablet with calling facility!! It's not a low-end 'phone'. And honestly, what do people expect for 13000 ??? Wonder what the fuss is about. It's a great tab to hold and read the news, do some bank transactions and chat and browse and read articles and stuff, all on the move, coz it's got a SIM !!

  • I don't understand why there is so much of fuss out here.. It's pretty good with decent features and affordable price.. More than expected for a user who expects good using experience..

  • to much high amount compare to lenovo zuk z1 is the best

  • Very costly phone and the cost is 13400 but features is bad and other brand are very good feature is very strong mostly samsung j max is bore and idiot phone

  • Defenitely no... 8mp cam,1.5 gb ram?... this phone is only for idiots...

  • 8 GB internal memory 1.5 GB Ram useless

  • Samsung can't compete in d market with 1.5 GB ram

  • IT should be atleast 2 or 3 gb ram and high resolution pixel camera with marshmallow even for some more

  • You look like an idiot with something this big slapped against your face, just saying...

  • why samsung always gives 1.5 RAM ,remaining all are on 4 & 3 RAM ,your all samsung phones below 2 gb RAM are getting hang

  • Yes otg support

  • off course support...........

  • It would be better if it is 6 inch rather then 7inch and 16 Gb And Full HD

  • Shall it support otg or not

  • Weird size, 7inch not comfortable for one hand operate and still smaller than a 8inch tab, Samsung please concentrate for all your phones specially update....

  • Guys, this thing is not new, this is an almost copy-paste of the Galaxy W. Same thing, a huge phone. Only improvement: PPI (+6) and OS (W is stuck at 4.3) But what the W has that this hasn't: 16 GB storage, Video at 1080p Compass Proximity sensor So yeah do not get too hyped, it is just an other tablet you can make calls on it, so it is like an enhanced Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with LTE

  • Please, white colour too

  • It's a phone. Not a tablet.

  • Pleasure. Sri.

  • This tab is one of the worse tab in the market. Am expecting to see an up lift of spec.

  • Thank you Reesan.. Cores of a Processor are basically termed to pipeline the activity thereby increasing the rate of processing. that means when a single core processor can process only one at a given clock signal, the quad core can process four chunks of data parallelly. This can be achieved at a faster rate only if the RAM is of a larger quantity. That is the reason why I emphasized on cores. Anyway.. I am thankful to you..

  • Sri, Core count is not everything. sd820 is just Quad core. did you know? and that price... would be fairly hard to produce using a budget of 140$ or so...

  • That was really shocking to know.. Why is the Samsung Releasing Similar Phones and Or Phablets a.k.a. Tablets with no design improvements.. As in the case both the Specifications are similar to each other. Instead of Releasing Same kind of devices, Samsung must try to improvise Device Performance as well as Design. Since 2007, I have been seeing the same design and the same physical button.. Samsung and Apple Never Change the Designs.

  • Samsung is trying to sell a low end device as a mid range device, Samsung is supposed to giving out devices like these for free to kids in third world countries but they are trying to cheat consumers into buying another crappy device just because it has a Samsung logo on it.

  • I was thinking that the J Max may carry a 7" FHD SAMOLED Display, Iris Scanner, 6mm thick, Stereo Speakers, NFC, Infra-red, Removable Battery of 7000mAh rating, 20MP Rear, 8MP Front Camera, Snapdragon Octa Core Processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB Storage, 128GB Expandable Storage, Single nano SIM, Type C Connector, Wireless Charging, Multicolour Status LED, Corning Gorilla Glass Display Protection, No Physical Buttons on the Front, at a decent price of &#8377;20,000.00 But all my expectations shattered into bits and pieces when I learnt that the J Max is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 G7102, with just a large screen and sealed battery of 4000mAh (See Specifications as well as Summary Icon of a Lock beside the Battery indicating sealed battery) at &#8377;13,500.00 ~Sri~

  • Samsung, I mean, why do you even try making one when you just can't! It's quite weird to see the hardwork you put in, and still struggling like Nokia did. You are long gone from this tab market scene, and in that sense, you are responsible for ill conditions of tablet market. After GT P3100, there's not even a single tablet device you can claim has moved forward!

  • yes

  • voice quality and pic quality ,feachure altimate phone

  • Hi Samsung, Please hear me : Return to Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Path ! But !! For flagship : Snap 823 or 821 Exynos 8890 or Neo Exclusive SoC by yourself 5 or 6 GB ram Stereo speakers 4K display For midrange : Snap 652 or neo snap or neo Exclusive SoC by yourself for midrange tabs 2K display 4 or 5 GB ram Stereo speakers Still ! Galaxy S 8.4 is brilliant tab. ...

  • I can sell 10 inch tablets as phone, yet that won't make that device a phone. Neither my old Xperia will became tablet , if I call that name. This device is tablet, actualy it's a galaxy tab A with different name. The specs and designs are the same.

  • Why is the J2 and J Max using very cheap processors. Please build quality mobile phone which are faster and better. Stop using tricks like giving very good spec and using a very very cheap processor.

  • This is phablet....so expesive than smartphone.

  • its like mix tabs s with j1 ace and the result will be this. so the specs is not good for programing and gaming and the size is not good for telephony. so for me better tp wait for huawei mate 9 or asus zenfone 3 ultra

  • It's a Tab A-7 in a fancy dress.

  • Good phone but not sho any application

  • Still using Cortex-A7, worst specs..

  • Samsung why 8 gb ??

  • 1.5 gb of ram? WTF?! The note 2 had 2gb. Is this better ram than the Mega had? It damb well better be or this thing is CRAP! I WANT IT! But with 1.5gb of ram I feel like I got F*C*ED AGIAN just like with the Mega. I want a GIANT phone but it also has to WORK PROPERLY! I have the Note 4 (only because Samsung dosent make anything larger that works) with 3gb and IT could use a bit more ram. Thanks for nothing F*C*ERS!

  • Yes, I would if Samsung came up with a Note 5 having a 7 inch screen, Snapdragon 820, 4Gb RAM, Dual Sim, separate slot for Memory Card, FM Radio and 6000 mAH Removable Battery. I wouldn't mind paying more for it.

  • Had a Mega 6.3 and loved it, the big screen was wonderful. Size was no problem, but weight of 200g was too heavy... bought an S6 Edge 130 g only much better...J7 Max is 276g far too heavy to be brought with you

  • If it is not pocketable it is a tablet.

  • Is it calling tab?

  • It's not a tablet, because Samsung is not selling it as one. It's a big ass smartphone for them and you'll find it in a smartphone category in the shop.

  • Den u buy note 5

  • I think its good that samsung release a phone with this price but for such a big phone 800*1280 is really bad I think its the only bad thing about this device

  • I don't think that will be coming out soon. If this one is a success of course it will come out. This is a testing phase for samsung. (This is my opinion nothing confirmed what so ever)

  • 1.5 gb of ram even is nor worth of buying. better to go for huawei p8 max or xiaomi mi max if you want phablets.samsung never listen to customer's ideas. this phone is completely similar to galaxy w 7 inches which was released 3 years ago

  • same lightless back buttons ?

  • Recycling Galaxy W which launch in 2014 for South Korea inoy market.

  • go put your coment on note 7 section. it is a low end phone and you are talking about s820!!!

  • You have mentioned 8GB Storage I think it is wrong, Please give correct information to buyer, don't miss guide about samsung Galaxy J max

  • It has 16gb not 8gb

  • 1.5 GB ram ! TFT display !! 8 GB internal !!! Spreadtrum SC8830 !!!! lollipop in 2016 again !!!!! Mali-400MP2 even not Mali-450MP4 !!!!!! Totally : MediaPad M2 7.0 with 320 euro is better choice, however MediaPad M2 released with AOS 5.1.1

  • since this "phone" is a member of Galaxy J-series, i presume it has a removable battery just like other Galaxy J-series, right?

  • Did I Read it Wrong? 7" Phone with 4000mAh Li ion Removable Battery.. That is Awesome to hear.. A Big Size Galaxy Grand 2 with a decent pricing in India.. Learnt from Local Newspapers that it may cost around &#8377;13,500+.

  • Thats a tablet not a phone to big shoe

  • yeah and price will be 800$ ?

  • this mobile looks bad of specification

  • well then i would have also loved it

  • Everything is fine except it would have been better if there was 4 Gb RAM, Snapdragon 820, 16 mpx & front 8 mpx camera with laser autofocus,OIS, Dual Tone LED flash and 6000 mAh Removable battery. I wouldn't mind paying more for it.

  • This is not a phone, this is a tablet. Tablets are considerated tablets from 7 inch, up to 10+ inch. It is not pocketable anymore. Maybe a 2.20 meter tall guy could easily fit this in his pocket, but a smaller person can not!

  • Galaxy E Max? Galaxy S Max?
