Samsung Galaxy J1 Price in the Philippines is Php 5,490 : Complete Specs, Release Date, Key Features
In the Philippines, local handset companies like Cherry Mobile, MyPhone, and Starmobile as well as international ones like Gionee, O+, and THL (among others) have already started to eat away at Samsung's massive market share in the entry-level to lower midrange smartphone echelon. The Korean Giant used to reign supreme in those price categories with releases like the Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Y, and Galaxy Young, which all captured the fancy of students and yuppies who were just starting to discover the wonders of an Android phone.
Samsung's dominance in the budget-friendly phone category may be under fire now more than ever but the company continues to churn out affordable models like recently launched Samsung Galaxy J1, giving consumers more options for their hard-earned money.
There's nothing about the Galaxy J1's looks nor technical specifications that will tell you that it's a powerhouse release. As you can see, the handset flaunts a simple design language reminiscent of affordable Samsung phones of old. The body is made of plastic and the only thing that gives it a hint of elegance is the thin metallic accent framing the display.
As for specs, well, the device is equipped with a 4.3-inch 480 x 800 pixels TN display, 5 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash, and a 2 MegaPixel front cam for taking selfies.
Under the hood, Samsung Galaxy J1 runs its TouchWiz-skinned Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system with a Dual Core 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A7 and Mali 400 GPU based Spreadtrum chipset, has 512 MB of RAM, and comes with 4GB of internal storage that users can augment up to 128GB using the microSD card slot.
TP Friends, Samsung Galaxy J1 has just been released in the Philippines. The phone is available in three colors, namely, White, Black, and Blue and comes with an official suggested retail price of Php 5,490.
Is it the right smartphone for you? If your budget for gadgets is rather tight and you're a big Samsung fan, I would suggest that you check this one out. But if you're open to owning handsets by other manufactures - especially local ones, there are many, many releases in this price category with far better technical specifications, build, and features that you might want to consider.
