Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro Price

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro comes from the same family of devices as the Galaxy J2 and the J Max. The three phones were launched in what one could say a little understated manner, but Samsung has been really aggressive in pushing the phones. The reason being, all the three phones are priced under the range of Rs 15,000, a budget that an average Indian puts aside when buying a new smartphone. So, what is it that makes the J2 Pro special? Let’s look at it in detail:

Display and Design

The design of the J2 Pro is very much in line with what we have seen on the J2. You have a nice curved form factor on the phone that makes holding the phone in your palm really good. There is a Notification LED around the camera module, which gives the phone a really unique feel. Largely the phone is like any other candy bar design phone from Samsung with a Home button that is flanked by a couple of capacitive buttons. The display on the phone is a 5 inch panel, with 720P resolution, giving it a healthy pixel density of 294PPI. This is a SuperAMOLED panel so you should expect the colours on the phone to look really good.

Hardware and Features

Samsung has been really pushing the S-Bike Mode for their budget phones and the J2 Pro comes with the mode too. This would help you ride your bikes safely without being disturbed by random phone calls. The phone also comes with Turbo Speed Technology that we have seen on the J2, which basically helps the phone load the apps faster in the memory and keep the phone running well. Powering the phone J2 Pro is Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset, which is a Quad-core chip. The RAM onboard is 2GB. On the software front, you have TouchWiz, running on top of Android Marshmallow.

Camera & Storage

The J2 Pro comes with 16GB of internal storage and you do have a dedicated slot for expansion that potentially can add another 128GB of space on your phone. Since the phone comes with Marshmallow, you will be able to use your external memory on the device as internal memory too. The rear camera here is 8MP with a f/2.2 aperture and an LED flash light. The front facing camera is a 5MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture. The rear camera is capable of recording videos in 720P only.

Battery and Connectivity

The battery on the J2 pro is a Removable Li-Ion 2600mAh unit. This basically means that you can at all times carry a spare battery with you that you can replace and put in your phone if you run out of power and cannot immediately charge your phone. On the connectivity front, you have support for two Micro-SIM cards with LTE on board. There is also WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as a proximity sensor and an accelerometer.

Competition

At just under the Rs. 10,000 mark, the J2 Pro is up against the likes of the Redmi Note 3 and the LeEco Le 1s, both the devices that come with far superior chipsets, Full HD screens as well as a fingerprint scanner. These devices also boast of a metallic built quality and while they may not have a fancy notification LED, you would not be wrong to consider them over, what feels to be a slightly inferior J2 Pro.
