Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy J1

40% The Moto E has nothing to worry about
Source: Expert Reviews
The Samsung Galaxy J1 has respectable build quality for a smartphone this cheap and the display was also a pleasant surprise, putting the low resolution aside. However, those are the J1’s only positive qualities. The Moto E 2nd Gen is available for a little less and is superior in practically every way. It’s quicker, runs a newer version of Android, has better battery life, higher resolution display, more storage, the list goes on. It’s still the budget handset to beat.

86% Galaxy J1 review – Samsung is getting stronger in the budget class
Source: Laptop Media
Galaxy J1 is a good choice for Samsung fans who can’t spend much on their next phone, but are looking for an affordable model from their favorite brand. They will be happy with the classic Galaxy design and the good-looking TouchWiz interface. The 2-core Spreadtrum processor doesn’t have much power, but it’s sufficient for lag-free work in the KitKat operating system.
