Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J100H 4GB Black - smartphones (Single SIM, Android, MicroSIM, GSM, WCDMA, Micro-USB)

Product Information

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. The Samsung Galaxy J1 was available in a 3G and a 4G version. [1] [2] Both models have an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with either two (3G) or four cores (4G) with 512 MB (3G) or 768 MB (4G) of RAM respectively, and 4 GB of internal storage. [8] The phone also has a slot for a microSD card (up to 256 gigabytes) and dual SIM card support. [11] The rear camera's resolution is 5 megapixels while the front camera is 2 megapixels and both film video at 720p 30 fps. [8] Software [ edit ]

Characteristic to Samsung’s Android handsets, the Android control buttons have been moved below the screen, which does mean the bottom portion of the display isn’t taken up with onscreen buttons. The white finish is decidedly plain, but the build quality feels good with everything fitting together neatly and tightly. There’s also the option of a blue finish. Versions: J110M (New Zealand, LATAM); J110F (Australia, Africa, UAE); J110G (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore); J110L with no LTE (Brazil) The front camera is a 2-megapixel unit, and it's pretty good. The photos it takes tend to have some noise, but they also capture an attractive amount of detail and colors. Samsung hasn't skimped on features that let you take selfies with ease – you get the Palm Gesture feature for capturing pictures by waving your palm in front of the device, and you also get a beauty mode to soften/remove blemishes from faces. The only big issue with the front camera is that it takes a few seconds to save a photo. It's not world-ending, but it's odd to see a Processing screen each time you take a photo. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU.Pixels are usually measured in microns (μm). Larger ones are capable of recording more light, hence, will offer better low light shooting and wider dynamic range compared to the smaller pixels. On the other hand, smaller pixels allow for increasing the resolution while preserving the same sensor size. The Galaxy J1 runs a pretty bare bones version of TouchWiz, Samsung's proprietary UX. It's probably because of the meager hardware that's powering this thing, though as you will see in the performance section below, it doesn't exactly help the J1 offer a smooth experience. Samsung's phones are popular (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) for having a lot of additional functionality over what Android offers by default, but most of it is missing on the Galaxy J1. In fact, the J1 doesn't even come with Samsung's music app – it only has Google Play Music, and it's probably because the TouchWiz Music app was a bit too heavy for the phone to handle. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Samsung also uses the slightly bigger case of the current Galaxy J1 to increase the battery capacity a bit. Instead of 7 Wh, the replaceable battery now has a capacity of 7.9 Wh (2050 mAh). Even though some rivals have much bigger modules, the test model obviously benefits from the previously described low consumption values. 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.

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.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.

Samsung still uses a 2 MP sensor at the front, and the results are blurry even under good lighting conditions. The camera is definitely not suited for good selfies. You should not use the front camera for videos, because the resolution is limited to VGA (640x480 pixels). System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoC Gaming performance is thankfully above average on the J1. Temple Run 2 ran without any lag or stutter, though Minion Rush – another game where you have to run endlessly – wasn't very smooth. The phone should let you play basic games with ease, but just don't throw any title that has a lot of graphics and things happening on the screen at the phone.

talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. The Galaxy J1 was announced in January 2015 as the first model of the J series. The 3G model was released in February 2015, the 4G model one month after. [8] [2] In the following months Samsung launched more smartphones bearing the J1 name such as the J1 Ace/Ace Neo, J1 Nxt/mini and J1 mini prime. While the old Samsung Galaxy J1was equipped with a dual-core SoC, Samsung ships the new 2016 model with its own quad-core Exynos 3475. It consists of four Cortex-A7 cores (32-bit) as well as the GPU ARM Mali-T720. The performance is lower mainstream, but the results are actually not that bad within our comparison group. The predecessor is particularly beaten in the multi benchmarks and the difference to the larger Galaxy J3is generally not that big. The old Galaxy J5is usually still the fastest device in the CPU benchmarks. Samsung actually did not change the SoC for the 2016 Galaxy J5, so there are just minor performance differences between the two models.
