At the high-end, Samsung's all about Infinity
Displays and small bezels and the 18.5:9 aspect ratio, but the Korean company
also churns out quite a few low-end offerings each year. And now we're fast
approaching the launch of just such a device: the Galaxy J2 (2018), previously
thought to be Galaxy J2 Pro (2017). The handset has received the full leak
treatment today, with specs accompanying the press renders you can see below.
The Galaxy J2 (2018) will come with a 5"
540x960 Super AMOLED touchscreen, 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage.
It's powered by the Snapdragon 425 chipset, which has a 1.4 GHz quad-core
Cortex-A53 CPU.
Camera-wise, you're getting an 8 MP shooter on the
back, and a 5 MP unit on the front, and they both have an LED flash
interestingly. The J2 (2018) has dual-SIM support, Bluetooth 4.2, LTE Cat.4 (up
to 150Mbps down), and 802.11n Wi-Fi. A 2,600 mAh replaceable battery charges
through a microUSB port.
The phone weighs 153g and runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
It will be available in Russia and other emerging markets in the coming weeks,
retailing for around €115.
