Samsung has launched the Galaxy J2 Core which is now available in physical stores in Nepal. This is the first low-budget smartphone they released after the ultra-expensive and ultra-premium Galaxy Note 9. More Samsung devices like the Galaxy A8 star and Tab A 10.5 are on the way. The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core price in Nepal is set Rs. 11,690.
The Galaxy J2 Core is special because it is the first Android Go smartphone from Samsung. Android Go is a stripped down version of Google’s Android software made for low-powered devices. It takes significantly smaller space than normal Android OS on a smartphone. Also, the phone runs smoother due to some memory optimizations. In short, Android Go helps make the most of the limited storage, memory, and battery capacity in budget-oriented smartphones.
Inside, the J2 Core offers the most basic features you could hope from a smartphone in 2018. It has a quad-core Exynos processor paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. So, there won’t be a whole lot you can do on this phone besides calling and texting and scrolling through Facebook occasionally. However, if you are in search of a smartphone to do just that, the J2 Core might be for you.

The screen is a 5-inch not-yet-HD screen. It is still unclear whether the panel used is an AMOLED or an LCD. If the panel is AMOLED then we won’t have much to complain about, but if it will be an LCD panel then an HD screen would have been better. The cameras are there to snap quick photos.
