South Korean electronics behemoth Samsung has introduced the Galaxy J2 2018, further strengthening its best-selling range of Galaxy J Series smartphones in Nepal.

The company has priced the new smartphone at Rs14,590. Customers can choose from two colour options, Gold and Black.

According to Pranaya Ratna Sthapit, Head IM Biz, the Galaxy J2 2018 reiterates Samsung’s commitment towards meaningful innovations that benefit customers. “The new smartphone comes with Samsung’s proprietary ‘Move to Memory Card’ feature, an advanced memory management solution that de-clutters the internal memory,” said Sthapit.

The Galaxy J2 2018 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The device comes with 16GB internal storage which can be expanded by using a microSD card of up to 256GB. Multitasking on the smartphone will be a breeze thanks to its 2GB of RAM.

Samsung has equipped a 5” qHD Super AMOLED display with vivid colours and deeper contrasts on the Galaxy J2 2018 to provide an immersive experience while consuming media or browsing social media. Gorilla glass is also used on the phone to add a touch of elegance to its look along with increased scratch resistance. Users will be able to take photos using the 8MP rear camera while selfie duties are handled by the 5MP front camera. Both cameras feature LED flash for picture perfect lighting condition.

Weighing in at only 153g, the Samsung Galaxy J2 2018 comes with Android 7.1 out of the box with a 2,600 mAh battery. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB OTG, 3G and 4G support. The phone features proximity sensor and accelerometer.
