Samsung unveils Galaxy J2 in Hyderabad

Samsung India Electronics on Thursday announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy J2, the latest entrant in the Galaxy J family, and the entry level 4G Smartphone from the brand.

The Galaxy J2, apart from being a 4G enabled smart phone, is tailor-made to meet Indian consumer needs. “The genesis of Galaxy J2 is Samsung's desire to extend a differentiated 4G experience by addressing three key consumer requirements of a rich and immersive display, a cost-efficient Internet experience, and an enhanced performance device. Samsung has thus equipped Galaxy J2, with a diverse range of premium features including a qHD Super AMOLED screen, a powerful 1.3 GHz Quad Core processor, to deliver an unparalleled 4G smart phone experience,” informed Asim Warsi, Vice President, Marketing, IT & Mobile at Samsung India.

Samsung has also developed an India-centric innovation by introducing Ultra Data Saving Mode, which delivers up to 50 per cent data saving and up to 2X battery standby time, thereby making Samsung Galaxy J2 the most cost-efficient 4G device in the market.

"The Galaxy J2 reinforces our commitment to 'Make for India'. Ultra Data Saving Mode, which is the key feature in the device, has been developed at our Indian R&D facilities to deliver the most cost efficient 4G device." added Asim Warsi.

Ranging from India-centric user interface themes to the revolutionary Ultra Data Saving mode, the Indian R&D team has played a key role in the overall development of the device.

The 'Ultra Data Saving' (UDS) mode also ensures that the user has access to more internet while using less data. UDS mode provides up to 50 per cent savings in data and also frees up to 11 per cent RAM.The new Samsung Galaxy J2 device will be available from September 21 across all channels, at a price of Rs 8,490.
