The Samsung Galaxy J6 brings with it a sturdy design, good display for consuming content and average everyday performance. However, its camera is lacklustre and if you are looking for a performance workhorse, you have better options to choose from.

The Samsung Galaxy J6 seems to be a decent mid-range smartphone that offers a compact design, great display, good battery life, and decent cameras. Not to mention, the software features that are not much different from other higher-priced phones in the Galaxy line.

Samsung Galaxy J6 Review: A Budget Galaxy A6 (2018)
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
In all honesty, it’s hard to recommend the Galaxy J6, considering that it is almost similar to the more expensive Galaxy A6 (2018). While it may be a few thousand pesos cheaper, you get a plastic build, downgraded cameras, and several hardware compromises on the Galaxy J6.

70% Samsung Galaxy J6 review: Old wine in a refreshing new bottle
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
If you're someone who's into the hardware side of things, and I know there will be many since Xiaomi and Asus have spoiled us all, the Galaxy J6 won't be as appealing. It would, in fact, seem frustrating because even though the Galaxy J6 aspires to be modern, it's lacking even the basic resources like an ambient light sensor, gyroscope and LED light. It's not as powerful as the competition too.

However, this phone is a much-needed refresh in Samsung's budget series, and won't get lost in the crowd. Some of its advantages are its Super AMOLED Infinity Display, sleek and lightweight body, and reliable battery life. Overall, it does have some appeal, and is also not likely to suffer from the same availability issues as most its competitors.

5.60":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure.

Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.


71.31%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
