Samsung Officially Releases The Galaxy J Series in Pakistan

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.

Despite the low price tag, the phone does offer a superior viewing experience thanks to the Super AMOLED display of 480×800 resolution.
