Archive.org versionAt Rs 10,990, Samsung Galaxy J4+ seems overpriced and doesn’t really have anything unique to offer. It also doesn’t really outshine Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 which delivers far better performance and experience for almost similar price.

Archive.org versionThe Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ offer appealing designs and a good battery life, which are the only things that really work in their favour, but not by much. At these prices, there are a number of options out there that offer even better designs as well as a more rounded performance like the Nokia 5.1 Plus and 6.1 Plus. You also have the Realme 2 Pro, Motorola One Power, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and so on that offer better a processor and cameras compared to the Snapdragon 450-powered Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+. The new Galaxy J phones are average at best, and they would have worked better at attracting consumers if the prices matched their budget hardware.

Archive.org versionSamsung is clearly relying a lot on its brand value and software features to sell these phones. They might have some appeal in terms of physical appearance and software features, but their performance is just not competitive at all as compared to other smartphones in the respective price segments.

Archive.org versionSamsung Galaxy J4+ has a good battery and primary camera performance. However, that is where the best features of this device end. Performance is okay, but, if you are looking to do some serious gaming, there are better devices in the market you can get. Samsung will have a tough time competing with other smartphones like the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, Nokia 5.1 Plus, and Xiaomi’s Redmi 6 Pro given the price tag, and the gaming performance.
