About this deal

Samsung hasn't really experimented with its smartphones' design in the past couple of years, and so it isn't surprising the Galaxy J1 looks like a lot of other phones from the company. However, there's a small design aspect that makes the J1 look different – the top and bottom of the phone have this slightly raised edge at each side, making it look like it has a rugged covering on top. That's not actually the case, but it certainly helps in adding a touch of flair to what is otherwise as basic a design as can be expected from Samsung. Rakesh (11 August 2016). "Codenames of Samsung Galaxy Devices". DroidViews . Retrieved 2 January 2018. Samsung was clearly focusing entirely on the camera experience when developing the Galaxy J1, as the cameras on this thing easily outmatch the rest of the hardware. Now, these aren't great cameras by any means, but when you consider how average an experience the phone provides in other areas, the cameras certainly stand out. The rear cameras of mobile devices use mainly a LED flash. It may arrive in a single, dual- or multi-light setup and in different arrangements. As for network performance, I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary. Calls never dropped, but like most low-end phones, the J1 did struggle to find as good a signal in areas with low network strength as costlier devices. Overall, call quality isn't a strong suit for the Galaxy J1.

Call quality on the Galaxy J1 is below average. The sound from the other side comes out with quite a bit of compression, which made understanding the other person hard at times. Call volume on the earpiece wasn't very loud either, though thankfully my own voice was pretty clear at the other end. Information about the number of pixels per centimeter (ppcm) or per inch (ppi) of the display. The higher the pixel density, the more detailed and clearer is the information displayed on the screen. Crop factor is the ratio of the dimensions of a full frame camera's sensor (36 x 24 mm, which equals the frame size of a 35 mm film) and the dimensions of the image sensor of the device. The number shown is the ratio between the diagonals of a full frame sensor (43.3 mm) and the sensor in question. Networks A mobile (cellular) network is a radio system, which allows a large number of mobile devices to communicate with each other. GSMWrap your mitts around the Galaxy J1 and its budget-price becomes immediately apparent. There’s no dressing this one up as anything but a budget handset and it’s all plastic as you’d expect. It’s very clearly a Samsung, though, with the silver edge strip and shape reminiscent of older Galaxy S generations. We wish that Samsung would do something a little bolder with its low-end models than simply make cheap copies of its more expensive designs.

Estimated volume of the device, calculated from the dimensions provided by the manufacturer. Applies for devices in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The capacity of a battery shows the maximum charge, which it can store, measured in mili-Ampere hours. The Outdoor setting is accessed from the notification menu and then boosts the brightness all the way up to 485.5cd/m2. This is limited to 15 minutes but should be plenty to fire off a few messages when out basking in the sun. Even then, with Outdoor mode off but brightness dialled all the way up, the J1 is stillusableoutside. Colour accuracy isn’t one of its strong points at 69.4% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut butlargely the display was a pleasant surprise.

Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. The Samsung Galaxy J1 model year 2016 left a somewhat mixed impression in our review. Samsung improved the entry-level device at some points. This clearly includes the SAMOLED screen, which can convince in all areas except for the low resolution. Samsung also tweaked the performance and the features, because this time we get a quad-core SoC, LTE, and even NFC. Battery The batteries of mobile devices differ in capacity and technology. They provide the electrical charge needed for the functioning of the devices. CapacityThe Galaxy J1 comes with a 4.3-inch PLS LCD display with a resolution of 800×480 pixels. There's nothing special about the viewing experience on offer here. Being an LCD unit, the colors aren't at all vibrant, and the display feels a tad drab in terms of colors and contrast. The viewing angles are also average – you will be able to make out what's on the screen when viewing it an angle, but you won't find it to be as clear as it would be on more high-end handsets (which isn't unexpected given the price range.) I spent a week with the Galaxy J1 as my main smartphone, so here's our review of what is one of the most talked about (read leaked) budget Android phones from Samsung in a long time.
