Samsung has announced the new Samsung Galaxy J2 Core. It is the first phone with Android Go from the company, so we are talking about a low-end device optimized to run with little RAM.
New Samsung Galaxy J2 Core: this is the first Android Go smartphone from Samsung
More space, more battery and better performance. Those are the three promises of Samsung with the new Samsung Galaxy J2 Core your first Android Go device. The idea is to offer must-have features at a good price. It should be remembered that Android Go is the version of Google's operating system adapted to low-end devices, which have little RAM and little internal storage.
From the Korean firm, the three key points stand out as follows:
- Android Go (Oreo Edition): Before the official announcement there were rumors that it would not be an Android Go mobile itself, but that it would only have adapted apps. This is not the case, and the Galaxy J2 Core It has Android Go (Oreo Edition) output and may be upgraded to Android Go (Pie Edition) in the future. The main advantages are that it will work faster than previous models. In addition, the Optimized Data Control tool is highlighted to control the use of mobile data.
- More internal storage: The operating system takes up less space, freeing up more memory for applications and files. There are fewer pre-installed apps and they use less memory.
- Battery for the whole day: This is perhaps the most dubious section, since we are talking about a 2.600 mAh battery. Even so, they assure that with the adapted system and applications, it will allow autonomy for the whole day.
A low-quality screen and a two-year-old processor
If we move on to the raw features, we are talking about a screen 5-inch quadHD with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. They claim that it is perfect for consuming multimedia content, although the cut in resolution is notable (which would also explain the decision with the battery). Consuming leisure seems to be a goal of Samsung with this smartphone, as they stand out Ultra Data Saving, a system to save mobile data.
We are also talking about 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. The processor is a Exynos 7570, which is two years old. If we look at the cameras, we are talking about unique sensors both in the front and in the rear area. The rear camera reaches 8 MP and has flash, the front camera reaches 5 MP. Both have a focal aperture f / 2.2 and stand out for being wide angles. Beauty modes and filters are included.
The terminal will be available from today in Malaysia and India, and will begin to reach more markets in the near future.
