Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime will not win any design awards as it basically inherits the old language of its forefathers but it’s what inside that matters, right? If there’s one thing this phone has other devices in its range doesn’t, it’s the user experience of TouchWiz. It’s nice to have a similar UI and small set of extra features done by the manufacturer rather than a lifeless interface.

Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro (2018) review: Simple and affordable
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
With so much of the internet buzz concentrating on the premium end of the market, it is refreshing to see prestigious manufacturers such as Samsung catering to a different demographic. Given the modest camera specs (by comparison with the company’s recent high-end S9 and Note 9 models), Samsung has seemingly prioritized other experiences with this particular model. Nevertheless, providing you keep within practical limits and avoid high-contrast scenes or unduly low light levels, the Galaxy J2 Pro offers a respectable performance. As for video, the results from the J2 Pro aren’t that far off some of the far pricier higher-end models.

60% Samsung Galaxy J2 Core Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Galaxy J2 Core is Samsung's first Android Go smartphone, and it does get a couple of things right. Despite its low-end hardware like just 1GB of RAM, this phone manages to deliver snappy performance. Battery life is another big plus point. The display and the cameras are where corners have been cut the most.
