Narendra, 18 Oct 2018Samsung J2 pro better than Nokia 2.1 More RAM Removable b... moreMy mother has Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro for 4 months now.

It is true that the screen is gorgeous because of the SuperAMOLED display but the screen resolution is not good.

I can see the individual pixels with my eye.

Bloatwares are everywhere in J2 Pro.

Battery life is not good. It drains fast.

Yes it is pretty fast but I doubt it will stay fast. Samsung devices tend to become slow when more apps are installed.

Software updates are not delivered in regular basis.



If you want a phone for your media content with a gorgeous display then choose J2 Pro.

If you want a phone that has a huge battery and can receive software updates for 3 years, then choose Nokia 2.1.

    I have this phone for a month now. This is my honest review:

    Pros:

    1. The design is gorgeous. I got the white variant and the silver accent is so elegant to look.
    2. It is pretty fast for a phone with 1GB of RAM and a modest Snapdragon 425 processor.
    3. The operating system is clean. No bloatware and hidden processes.
    4. Two-day battery life is fantastic. It has got a 10W charger so I can charge the phone pretty fast.
    5. Dual front firing stereo speaker is very loud. It is clear and very suitable for movies and online video streaming.
    6. Up-to-date. I got a software update upon first boot.
    7. Android Go is amazing. I thought it is a downgraded version of Android One but I was wrong. The only obvious UI tweak that I noticed is the multitasking view. Other than that, there is no significant changes in the performance.


    Cons:

    1. The back cover is flimsy and it doesn't lock perfectly. The polycarbonate surrounding the camera is thin.
    2. Camera is okay. It is slow to focus. The camera UI has limited settings.
    3. No available accessories for this phone. I cannot find a tempered glass and protective covers.
    4. The price is a little bit high. Here in the Philippines, it cost 5,990 pesos or $110.
    5. No one-hand operation feature.
    6. No Gorilla Glass as confirmed by a Nokia representative.


    For the love of the brand, I did not regret buying this phone. It is pure, secure, and up-to-date.

    I hope Nokia can improve its build quality for the entry level phones.

                    Pretty good phone! I recommend this phone to someone who is on budget and wanting a branded phone. It runs pretty smooth too, can run games like GTA San Andreas even on max settings! also it is design for Finnish people cause it's made there. so um yeah, go Nokia!
