Samsung J Series targets low and mid-range segment of the market and has made a place for itself among the Galaxy Aces, Plusses, Primes and the rest of the uncategorised low-end segment. These phone have been around for a few months, but Samsung has finally decided to officially release the phones to Pakistan.
The Galaxy J series phones offer typical plastic designs combined with adequate processing speed, 4G connectivity and high-quality Super AMOLED screens. The phones are also optimised for the Asian market with data savings features.
The killer feature of the Galaxy J devices is the Ultra Data Saving Mode which reduces data savings by up to 50% for videos, 40% for social networks, and 30% for normal browsing. The feature is powered by Opera Max but is much more integrated than a separately installed app.
Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace
Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace is a slight downgrade over the regular J1, which is already available in Pakistan, and comes in as the low-end entry in the Galaxy J series. Offering the age old typical Samsung plastic design and big bezels, the phone is no looker, but that is to be expected from phones in the targeted price range. Despite the low price tag, the phone does offer a superior viewing experience thanks to the Super AMOLED display of 480×800 resolution. The 4.3 incher comes with a dual-core processor, half a gig of RAM, 4GB of storage plus microSD support, adequate cameras and dual-SIM support. There’s no 4g connectivity though available on the J1 Ace.

Samsung releases more phones than a person goes to a toilet.
talking about toilets … MOST of those budget specs are just CRAP :p !
HAHAHAHAHA
Samsung releasing phone speed > A person having Diarrhea going to Toilet
WTF ?!
wats with the 1.5 gb ram ?!
samsung trolling :/
800×480 resolution ? I mean seriously ? It’s almost 2016
BTW Samsung phone’s designs are crap. seams like they design their phones for old people only :P
*Galaxy S2
The Galaxy S was an iPhone copy
It had a larger screen by 0.5 inches, over twice Processor Speed, a larger battery/talk time, a much better display resolution and a secondary camera. -Yet it was an iPhone COPY! Hilarious…!
Copied as in design. We are talking about the design.
Facts are facts and I am no apple fan
do a research before writing any thing. Apple it self copied the htc design and it is also copying all android features with every update.
Everyone knows Apple is doing it and has done it before. Its just sad to see android OEMs doing the same thing.
U argument doesn’t prove me wrong!
Ur argument doesn’t prove my point wrong!
ugly design , pathetic feature , no more samsung. better to get huweai instead samsung on low or mid prices phone. infinix is decent option as well when it comes to cheap and rich feature phone. i am happy user of infinix .
use galaxy j7 for 5 minutes and you will love it. bager use kiye kisi cheez k barey mein baat karna munasib nahe.
j7 kitnai ka hai bhai ? i hope es sawal kay jawab mien ap maa bhen ki galiya na nikalnai lago , i thought sirf relgious and political disagree par log offended hotay they
galaxy j series is here in Pakistan since 3 months.
And for the people here who are talking about crap j series, i would like to tell you that the galaxy j7 is super fast even than galaxy s4 and s5. it’s latest gen processor Exynos 7580 is pretty super fast, and i am getting almost 3 days with a single charge with my j7 because of it’s latest gen processor. what else you need in a 28k phone.
28k for this shit ? where u can get p8 lite and zero 2 under 20k. j7 has ugly out dated design , lolz plus u r not getting 2gb in 28k.
These phones are not 4G in Pakistan. Aur abhi official launch krega to pehle kaise launch kiye thy?
Pehlay Unofficial thai.
un official mein advertisement kaise de sakte hain? aur konunofficial deraha hai
Hmm it’s possible advertisements were launched before the phones actual release.
I dont understand that concept
Its Pakistan, nothing is based on logic. Maybe they wanted to create hype, maybe they they made a mistake.
Aj kal log brands k mamley pe bhi janooni ho jatey hain
baat janoni honey ki nahe hai, baat ye hai k bager experience k ya bager kisi cheez k pata honay k bad comments dena shuro ho jatey hain,
WTH is this crap..!!!
This is the original Galaxy J that i want.
Dear this is the Japanese version specially released in Japan and for Docomo. You can get it online for around 35 to 40 K. check on homeshopping.pk
It was made for the Japanese market, wasn’t supposed to global but still made it to few more countries.
Dear All, Samsung wants to place a smartphone in every hand around the globe in comparison to Apple that only wants communication for people that have loads of money. We should appreciate what Samsung is doing. Not every person in this country can afford a 30K or even a 20k mobile bro. not everyone is as blessed as we are by Allah, so we should be thankful to Him for the bounties that He has bestowed upon us.
well said bro,
512mb ram is nothing for our latest androids even including 4.4.4, won’t be able to customize it.
you are right brother, 512 mb ram waley theek nahe hotey, but ye phone aek aam bandey k liye jis ne bus call sms whatsapp skype aur fb k liye phone use karna hai os k liye kafi hai
Samsung and Good Ram, two Opposite things. They are enemy to each other.
28k ka hai bhai
p8 lite mein keya khas hai bhai? aek sim aur sdcard ya 2sims aek sath, plus on screen button, aur 2200mah battery,
j7 mein 3000mah battery hai, jo k 3 din tak chalti hai, aur rahi baat ram ki to 1.5gb ram enough hai is ki, har qisam ki game bager lag k chalti hai, aur background apps kill bhi nahe hoti, pi lite se bohat acha hai aur zero2 se bhi,
