Samsung seems gunning a month ‘s record for a smartphone in Nepal. Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime launched in March and the Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo debuted in April. Now, the much-anticipated update to the popular Samsung Galaxy J2 for Rs.14,590 has been introduced by Samsung.
Not much has improved cosmetically as of 2017 the phone still looks like the Galaxy J2 you knew. Within, however, there are several improvements that make this phone ready to take on the 2018 budget market. The major focus of this device is two things that are very popular in today’s time, social media, and online shopping.

In January 2018, the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) smartphone was introduced. The phone comes with a 5.00-inch touchscreen display with a 540×960-pixel resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) on the rear packs 8-megapixel camera as far as the cameras are concerned. For selfies, it sports a 5-megapixel camera at the front.
Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) based on Android 7.1 and built-in 16 GB storage packs that can be expanded by microSD card (up to 256 GB). The Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018) is a dual-SIM smartphone (GSM and GSM) that accepts both Micro-SIM and Micro-SIM cards.

Apart from the other things what is interesting is that this phone lets you save the device’s memory by automatically saving contents from social media apps to external memory card. This feature helps in better memory management. Similarly, this phone also has a feature where one can click pictures of one’s desired products and shop online using visual search.
This is an AI-enabled feature that makes online shopping convenient for users.
