NEW DELHI: Samsung has launched in India its low-budget smartphone Galaxy J2 Core, the latest addition to Galaxy J smartphones series. Galaxy J2 Core has been conceptualized for users who are yet to upgrade to smartphones as well as entry-level smartphone users. The Galaxy J2 Core has been designed to deliver fast and smooth experience while ensuring best-in-class battery performance, Samsung said. In order to deliver faster performance, free space on the device plays a critical role; Galaxy J2 Core has been developed on the latest Android Oreo (Go Edition) platform. Android Oreo (Go) is essentially made for entry-level Android smartphones with less than 1GB RAM and hence uses less storage space, less memory and still functions smoothly. The smartphone features 8MP rear camera and 5MP front camera and comes with a 5-inch display. The device is powered by Samsung's proprietary Exynos processor that is especially tuned for Android Oreo (Go Edition), the company claimed. It comes with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 256GB via an external memory card. Also, the Galaxy J2 Core allows consumers to not only install apps but also direct social media content to an external memory card. "Galaxy J2 Core’s 2,600 mAh battery delivers up to 1.5 times longer video playback than popular devices in the entry-level segment," Samsung said. “We are pleased to integrate industry-first smart memory management solutions that allow apps or content on the memory card. We are also pleased to partner with Google in bringing the latest Android experience for entry-level smartphones with Oreo (Go Edition) on Galaxy J2 Core," Sumit Walia, Director, Mobile business, Samsung India, said in a statement. "This approach eradicates current consumer pain points by opening apps 15% faster, delivering 2X storage out of the box, and allowing consumers to stream content for up to 11 hours on YouTube Go. This is indicative of Samsung’s commitment to a digitally enabled India by allowing our customers to Go Faster & Go Longer.” The Galaxy J2 Core will be available from August 28 in three colours – Gold, Blue and Black. It will be priced at Rs. 6,190 and will be available across all retail stores and Samsung e-shop website.
