Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) Launched
Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) has been launched in India. The new smartphone, which is the successor to the Galaxy J2 (2017), comes preloaded with a Samsung Mall app that is claimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to let users shop online by clicking a picture of their desired product. Samsung has also tied up with Reliance Jio to offer an instant cashback of Rs. 2,750 via the MyJio app on recharging with Rs. 198 or Rs. 299 packs. Further, customers would get an additional 10GB of data on every recharge for the next 10 recharges. The Galaxy J2 (2018) price in India is Rs. 8,190 and it will go on sale starting April 27 in Black, Gold, and Pink colour options. The Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) is the Indian variant of the Galaxy J2 Pro (2018) that was launched in Vietnam earlier this year.
Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) features
The availability of the Samsung Mall app on the Galaxy J2 (2018) brings three key features, including a Visual Search, One-stop Shop, and a Universal Cart. The app debuted on the Galaxy On7 Prime back in January and is touted to simplify users' shopping experience. The Galaxy J2 (2018) also comes with a 'Device Maintenance' feature that optimises its performance. Similarly, there is a memory-saving proprietary 'Move to Memory Card' feature that automatically directs content from social media apps to the external memory card.

The dual-SIM (Micro) Galaxy J2 (2018) runs Android 7.1 Nougat and features a 5-inch qHD (960x540 pixels) Super AMOLED display. Under the hood, there is a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC, coupled with 2GB of RAM.

"Galaxy J2 2018 reiterates Samsung's commitment towards meaningful innovations that delight our customers.
