Samsung has officially unveiled a new entry-level smartphone in India. The model dubbed Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (2020) takes over the rein from the Galaxy J2 Core from 2018. Despite the two years gap between both launches, the new Galaxy J2 Core (2020) doesn’t really have so many improvements in the hardware and specs. The major improvement is in the storage as this model doubles up on the storage size of the earlier version. Here’s a look at the design and specifications.

The Galaxy J2 Core (2020) presents with a 5-inch PLS TFT LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. The display retains the 16:9 aspect ratio and has large bezels at the top and bottom edges. We expect the display to retain the Gorilla Glass protection on the 2018 model.

The smartphone is powered by Exynos 7570 Quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz. The chipset is a 14nm chip with four Cortex-A53 cores and a Mali-T720 GPU.  The processor pairs with 1GB of RAM while there is 16GB of internal storage onboard. The storage can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD slot.

For photography, the Galaxy J2 (2020) packs a single 8-megapixel camera at the rear. The rear camera supports autofocus and can record 1080p videos at 30fps. For selfies, there is a 5-megapixel front camera just by the front speaker.

One important aspect of this entry-level phone is that it runs Android Go Edition even though it still runs Android 8.0 Oreo. The OS and apps are optimised to run on low-end hardware, in this case, a 1GB RAM phone. Android Go also comes with a Smart Manager which gives users the option to move apps and contents to the microSD card.

Keeping the lights up is a removable 2,600mAh battery which can last up to 14 hours when browsing the web over LTE and even longer over Wi-Fi (2.4GHz). You get two SIM slots and a dedicated SD card slot.

As for the pricing, the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (2020) is priced at RS. 6299 (around $82). It’s available in Gold, Blue and Black.
