Samsung once again decided to expand its Galaxy J line of youth smartphones, releasing after the J1, J5 and J7 models, a new device that was released in September 2015 was called the Samsung Galaxy J2 Duos J200H. As the name implies, the smartphone should occupy a niche in the middle between the frankly budget Galaxy J1 and aimed at the mid-price J5. The cost of new items at the time of writing the review was about $ 170.
In terms of design, the Koreans have not demonstrated anything new. For many years now, Galaxy smartphones have been coming out like a blueprint. The differences between them relate only to the thickness, dimensions, degree of roundness of the corners and the materials used. The Samsung Galaxy J2 was no exception, which received a classic body with a silver trim and an oval home button below the screen. On the back cover of the smartphone (it is plastic) there is a camera eye, which is framed on the sides by a flash diode and a speaker grille.
The specifications of the J2 do not allow the device to be classified as a middle class device, and the cost (which, we hope, will decrease slightly) does not allow holding the position of a strong state employee. With its pricing policy, Samsung resembles a tightrope walker, who only has vast experience and skill to effectively stay over the abyss. As soon as Chinese competitors raise their heads a little more confidently in world markets, the position of the leader of the South Korean company will be under great threat. After all, the same Xiaomi for the same money offer eight cores instead of four, and FullHD instead of an HD display.
The Samsung Galaxy J2 is powered by an inexpensive Exynos 3475 processor equipped with four 1.3 GHz cores. The Mali-T720 accelerator is responsible for the graphics. In terms of capabilities, the smartphone matches competitors based on the Snapdragon 400 series and MediaTek MT658x.
Most modern toys are tough for the device, but you won’t be able to enjoy the quality of the graphics. Medium settings in the same WoT - the limit of the smartphone.
The RAM in the Samsung Galaxy J2 is 1 gigabyte, which is good news. Previously, Samsung was greedy in this regard and equipped budget smartphones with, at best, 768 MB of RAM.
The built-in storage has a capacity of 8 GB, of which about 5 are available for downloading content. The lack of free space is eliminated using MicroSD cards. Fortunately, their maximum volume is 128 GB.
Given the relatively small screen size, a 2000 mAh battery should be enough for a smartphone. In practice, this is how it turns out: Samsung Galaxy J2 is able to last up to 2 days in the mode of gentle use, and when playing a video, it will be discharged in about 7-8 hours. Games will force the user to look for an outlet in about 3.5 hours. The figures are not that impressive, but similar to competing smartphones.
The main camera of the device has a matrix of only 5 MP, but it is equipped with a flash and autofocus. Comparing the quality of her shots with Chinese smartphones from second-tier manufacturers, one can note the almost complete absence of a difference.
And given that most inexpensive handsets from China are equipped with photomodules, sort of like 8 MP, the Samsung Galaxy J2 looks good with its 5 MP.
The front lens is equipped with a modest 2-megapixel matrix. For Skype, its capabilities are enough for the eyes, but it is quite difficult to take a good selfie. This is especially true for shooting indoors, where the noise of the picture immediately catches the eye.
"It's done!" - I want to say when getting acquainted with the screen of the Samsung Galaxy J2. Finally, Samsung stopped equipping budget models of WVGA smartphones with display matrices. Undoubtedly, on diagonals up to 4.3" the picture looks normal, but for 4.5" and more - 800x480 is not enough. The manufacturer took into account the mistakes and equipped the smartphone with a 4.7-inch SuperAMOLED screen with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. 
The picture on the display looks nice, the colors are bright, but not acidic. Viewing angles approach the ideal value of 178 degrees, and you can see the screen when you tilt the device. The brightness is also decent, it's a pity that there is no automatic adjustment.
The smartphone, as befits a budget device, supports GSM and 3G networks. To the delight of residents of cities where there is LTE coverage, the device can work in these networks. Also on board the Samsung Galaxy J2 are today's standard Wi-Fi, fourth-generation Bluetooth and GPS satellite navigation.
Boasting something special in terms of multimedia Samsung Galaxy J2 is not destined. He, like most smartphones, can play FullHD video, play music on headphones throughout the day, catch local FM radio stations and write videos in HD. The sound volume is decent and sufficient not to miss a call. A little worse with purity: the loudspeaker “dries” the bass and treble. However, with headphones, the smartphone demonstrates a more pleasant sound and listening to music without experiencing discomfort is real.
The OS on the smartphone is Android 5.1 with a proprietary graphical shell from Samsung. Its capabilities are more modest than those of the same Galaxy S6 or Note 5, but remembering that the RAM in the Galaxy J2 is only 1 GB, this is even good. 
Advantages of Samsung J2:
Smartphone cons:
A review of the Samsung Galaxy J2 Duos J200 showed that, in comparison with its predecessor in the face of the J1, progress has not bypassed the smartphone. Although the device is far from the flagships in terms of characteristics, it is enough for basic tasks. The screen does not shine with high resolution, but the conditional threshold of 220-230 PPI has been passed and the pixels are not striking. You can consider them, but only if you do it intentionally.
Thrifty supporters of Samsung products will be able to appreciate the capabilities of the device. But those who want to extract the maximum functionality by paying a minimum of money will be disappointed in the smartphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gross783 from solid device Successful model. I really liked the battery at first, it ran out pretty quickly, but then apparently it swayed, I reset the settings to the factory settings and installed the programs (Yandex maps, metro, trains, whatsapp) again. The phone also has an “optimization” function (in the settings) It tidies up the memory. You can also make programs that can be sent to sleep so as not to waste battery power. Fotik shoots EXCELLENT both macro and video, for processing photos there are various gadgets that are quite interesting. Determines my location exactly, does not heat up either during charging or during operation, for testing I played Real Racing and did not heat up. I immediately bought a silicone case and glass for the phone. The speaker is loud, ringtones and notifications are very interesting. In general, I am very pleased..

Rated 4 out of 5 by JIrinaL from Convenient phone I have been using the phone for over six months now. It seems that everything is fine, there is a lot of memory, but the camera is terrible, especially the front one, the camera narrows the face, and the effect of a flattened face is obtained, and the main photo is taken with some kind of pale film, this is bad ... And what else upset me that there is no application for music. But it's still a very good phone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sandro from Samsung messed up in front of customers I have been buying Samsung products since 1995 for a long time, but last year your company disappointed me a lot when I bought a replacement Grand Prime J2 with the same built-in memory as the first - 8GB. However, on the second, that is, on J2, the shell, unlike Grand Prime, took almost all of these 8GB. By making the smartphone almost an ordinary phone, since now many applications are simply not installed on the card. Samsung should not have put this gadget on sale, as it simply deceived people. Or let them in, but with a warning and at a very large discount, since they did it without thinking! And I think you, the specialists of this company, understand very well what I mean ...

Rated 3 out of 5 by Maria 07 from Declared by the manufacturer 8 MP Good afternoon. We purchased a Samsung prime j2 (2018) phone (purchased on 12/06/2018), the first thing we noticed was that the contact photo was uploaded to the address book and, in fact, it produces a fuzzy pixel image. then we try to set up the camera, which is not a photo, then a disgusting picture is grainy or not clear. A clear photo is extremely rare. Before that, there were many different samsungs and push-buttons, and the prime core galaxy was used for three years. There has never been such a thing. The child J1 and also everything was ok Rebooted, the settings were reset. I was not lucky????
