DHDCW, 17 Oct 2017No, Samsung Galaxy J2 (2017 edition) is running Android Nou... moreWrong.
I've seen websites talking about it running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
But this video shows that "2017 Edition" is just marketing to sell the remaining stock.
It's exactly the Galaxy J2 2015. Only the box that is different even. Even the Android version is the same.

    DHDCW, 17 Oct 2017This phone is running Android Nougat 7.0 because it's alrea... moreWhat?
    It would be nice if his logic were perfect and worked out in reality.
    But that's not quite the way it works.
    And this video will explain to you what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTA9Vnqvdck&t=99s

          Basically it's a generic package.

              mobi 5G, 13 Oct 2017same as J2 (2015) . Fraud by Samsung .It is not the same as Galaxy J2 2015.
              It IS the Galaxy J2 2015, but with Android Marshmallow.

                Galaxy J2 2017?
                It's exactly the Galaxy J2 2015, but with Android Marshmallow.
                It's even stupid for Samsung to call it Galaxy J2 2017, because if it was, it should follow the Galaxy J 2017 series design and specification guideline, and its model number should be SM-J230.
                Funny that the model number of this device is SM-J200G. The "G" is usually used in "Pro" editions of its devices, such as Galaxy J2 (2016), Galaxy J3 (2016), Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017). But Pro models usually have extra RAM and internal memory.
                In practice, as only the Android version changes, it's more for a "Galaxy J2 Value Edition".

                                    There is nothing 2017 about this phone
                                    Its the same j2 of 2015
                                    No software/hardware changes at at all
                                    Even j2 16/j2 pro have better specs
                                    Of course the color of the front grill is now black and you get a new phone box color
                                    With such amazing strategies samsung is digging its grave in india
