Samsung Galaxy J1 (Unlocked, Used)

Product Description

In recent years, smartphones have slowly gotten bigger as a result of the clamor to bridge the gap between phone and tablet. It was in an attempt to allow people to carry just one device that covers everything from sending texts to watching movies. The only problem with this is that such devices are too big for anybody with small hands. Or it may just be out of reach for those on tighter budgets. Samsung, confirming their position as leaders in the smartphone world, have recognized this. They have produced a range that is a little smaller, and a lot less expensive. All the while staying very much within the high-spec domain of the Galaxy S. In this range sits the Samsung Galaxy J1, a phone which out-performs its modest size in some way and does so at a price that is hard to beat.

Samsung Galaxy J1 Specs

Processor

The first thing to go as we get a little way down the range of any brand is the power. Many use older and cheaper processors to keep the price low. The galaxy J1 bucks this trend by incorporating a quad-core 1300Mhz processor and dedicated graphics chip.

Storage

Built-in storage is also greater than most at this price point with 8GB. You always can increase this by another 128GB by utilizing the MicroSD card slot.

Data and Connectivity

It’s locked to the AT&T network. The Galaxy J1 means you get full use of the fastest 4G data speeds available, with a 3G fallback for more remote or non-4G areas. If you have Wi-Fi available, the J1 offers 802.11 b/g/n compatibilities. Included as well are tethering and a Wi-Fi hotspot so you can share your data connection with family and friends.

Samsung Galaxy J1 Battery Power

A massive 2050mAh battery gives up to 12 hours of talk time or 10 days on standby. So you’ll never be scratching around for power outlets.

Front and Rear Camera

A 5MP rear camera brings 720p video capture and video-calling. It also offers face detection, geo-tagging, macro and panorama modes, special effects, and even a self-timer.

The front camera is 2MP, meaning plenty of pixels for all those selfies!

Screen

The 4.5” Super AMOLED display makes for easy-on-the-eye movies and gameplay. It has a built-in light-sensor for automatic brightness adjustment as well as a proximity sensor for touch-free glances at notifications and other app-specific features.

And that’s a Wrap

Bluetooth 4.1 and A-GPS make up the already impressive specs, and mean that the Samsung J1 3 is the perfect choice for anybody wanting a high-spec smartphone without breaking the bank.
