Samsung J6+ review: Sturdy phone that can weather falls like Nokias of yore

If you are pathetic at handling phones and drop them once in a while, this device could be trusted to weather the falls well like Nokia phones used to once upon a time. This reviewer was involved in an accident while using the device and can vouch for it.

Samsung Galaxy J4+, Galaxy J6+ review: Budget phones at not so budget prices
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
The 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.

Samsung 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.
