Positioning
Samsung has almost completely abandoned budget segment... By releasing the lineup J, they partially offset the lack of such devices. But in terms of price / quality ratio, these models are far from ideal, rather they are intended for those consumers who do not understand the market and at the same time want to buy a device from a major manufacturer. The payment for the brand in this case is excessive, since similar solutions from other companies cost at least 1.5-2 times less, and operator models look even more attractive. If a regular J1 uses a SuperAMOLED screen, which can become at least some distinctive feature, but is leveled by an even higher price, then there is nothing like this in the J1 Mini. This is a very, if not to say very, very, a budget solution for its filling and a very expensive solution based on the price. However, let's take a closer look at it.
Design, dimensions, controls
The model is available in three colors - white, black and gold. Oddly enough, buyers often choose gold, apparently due to its perception by the target audience.
The phone measures 121.6x63.1x10.8 mm and weighs 123 grams. It is small, but a little fat, which looks unusual against the background of other models, especially since there is a small battery by modern standards. The model fits well in the hand, the build quality is excellent. These are, perhaps, a few advantages of this device.
On the right side there is an on / off button, on the left side there is a volume rocker. On the top there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, on the bottom there is a microUSB connector.
The back cover can be removed, inside is a removable battery, two slots for microSIM cards, as well as memory cards.
Display
The display is 4 inches, 480x800 pixels, TFT, there is no automatic brightness control. The screen is not very bright, it is difficult to see in the sun due to its size. This is a very low-cost solution, which, moreover, loses both to analogs in its price group, and to cheaper solutions. We can say that such screens are already perceived as outdated.
Battery
The Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery provides, according to the manufacturer, up to 7 hours of Internet use (3G or Wi-Fi), up to 8 hours of talk time, and up to 29 hours of music playback. In real conditions, the device works for a day under a very heavy load, ordinary consumers will receive about two full days. This is a good result, which was made possible by both the screen and the slower processor.
The device has a maximum power saving mode, everything is turned off except for the main functions, the operating time increases. Considering that the screen is an ordinary TFT, this does not give any huge increase in operating time compared to a similar function in the company's flagships.
Processor, memory, performance
The device has 768 MB random access memory, this is very little, most budget solutions have 1 GB of memory. The Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset, four cores with a frequency of up to 1.2 GHz, is a super budgetary and very cheap solution. Result? Not a single synthetic test that has three-dimensional tests can be passed to the end on this device - they just crash. Performance is low, noticeably below most budget devices.
In practice, this means that the interface is slow, twitchy and not very pleasant to the eye. This is found in very inexpensive models of last year, in modern state employees the interface is noticeably faster.
Memory cards can be installed up to 128 GB, but who will do that in such an inexpensive device? The main thing is that the built-in memory is 8 GB, of which a little more than 4 GB is available for your needs.
Communication capabilities
The usual and familiar set, there is synchronization with a PC (USB 2.0, KIES), Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, BT 4.0, there is no NFC, but there is support for GPS / Glonass. The positioning speed is low, not because of the quality of the antenna, but rather because of the general brakes of the apparatus.
Camera
Front VGA Camera! What can I say? Nothing. The main camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, but it does not have autofocus, which makes most of the photos blurry, it is good for capturing landscapes. You can find examples of photos and videos below.
Sample photos
What if you need a simple phone? And so that not with buttons, but a smartphone and so that people with it would not be ashamed to go out? It is logical to start with the operators' proposals, the “big three” usually offer budget options. You can also choose a suitable smartphone among the models entry level... Samsung has this recently unveiled Galaxy J1 mini. Let's find out why the budget Korean novelty is good.
Equipment
The smartphone lies in a small white box, besides the device itself there is still Charger... Everything, nothing else, no headphones, no cable.
The smallest galaxy
The budget Samsung is devoid of the attributes of expensive models, no glass or metal, only plastic. But the plastic is of good quality, there is no feeling that you are holding a primitive phone in your hand. When you buy a budget communication device, this is an important point.

The body is black at the front and back, and the central part is made of dark gray glossy plastic. The sides are slightly flattened, so the Galaxy J1 mini resembles others Samsung models... The case comes in three colors: in addition to black, they offer white or gold.
A frame slightly protruding above the surface runs along the perimeter. The phone rests on it when you place it with the screen down to avoid scratching the display cover. Usually Samsung makes the bezels sparkly and shiny, but here it is matte and does not draw attention to itself.

I think everyone has held a Samsung smartphone in their hands at least once in their life, so the layout of the buttons will seem painfully familiar. The volume control is on the left, the power button is on the right, and under the screen is a block of three keys. The wide central physical button works with a clear click, error-free pressing. The key on the left launches a menu of running applications, and the right key takes you one step back. The buttons have no backlighting, which is not very pleasant, but you can get used to it over time.

At the back there is only a speaker hole and a camera lens, and what more could you want, the most cheap smartphone Samsung has a laconic design.

Aim more accurately
The case cannot be called thin, the thickness here is more than a centimeter. But the phone itself is compact, so it is easy and convenient to operate it with one hand. Although for a baby it is weighty - 120 g. Small smartphone fits easily in pockets, it does not stick out or protrude from clothes.
But after large diagonals, typing on a 4-inch screen is no longer very convenient, fingers often miss the characters on the keyboard. I solved the problem by using predictive input in the spirit of Swype. You can also type more accurately by sacrificing speed for grammar.
Only 4 inches
The screen size is 4 inches, the resolution is 480 x 800 pixels. For 2016, these are modest numbers, but first Samsung The i9000 Galaxy S was just such a screen back in 2010. After this nostalgic pause, let's evaluate the quality of the screen, since they are most often saved on in budget devices.
.jpg)
Here is a TFT-TN panel, so the viewing angles are far from maximum. If you turn the phone in your hand to the left or to the right, the picture on the screen fades or brightens, but there is no distortion vertically. On sunny days, the brightness has to be turned to the maximum, otherwise you will not see anything on the screen.
There is no light sensor in the smartphone, the brightness must be adjusted manually. This limitation is often found in the most available smartphones large manufacturers, although inexpensive Chinese brands do not save on this.
Slow gas
The filling is quite modest: a 4-core Spreadtrum SC7731 processor, Mali-400 graphics, 768 MB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, of which 4.7 GB is free. AnTuTu gives out a little more than 20 thousand "parrots". Yes, that's not a lot, but at least the menu does not work at the speed of a turtle.

Although there are delays: you switch between applications and see a blank screen for a moment, and not the desired program... I used the phone without pain and suffering, as is sometimes the case with budget devices. Galaxy J1 mini, according to Samsung, sees a microSD card up to 128 GB, but hardly anyone will put such a volume here, the card costs like the phone itself.
The Nature UX framework, also known as TouchWiz, although this is already an outdated name. The model uses Android 5.1, which appeared about a year ago. You can't count on 6.0 Marshmallow. Change the font size in the settings, you can also select the character style. Of course, we set the background image, arrange icons on desktops, add widgets.

Just a camera
The 5-megapixel camera is quite simple, there is no autofocus, no flash. Because of this, we have lost the "flashlight" function. Pro mode with manual setting looks like a mock: what to customize? But you can quickly launch the camera by double clicking on physical button under the screen, just like in the older Galaxy. Examples of photos below, due to limited capabilities, it is difficult to shoot texts or small objects here. In general, a typical camera "for show".

The front camera is 0.3 megapixel, you can recognize facial features in the pictures, nothing else is required from it. The video quality is limited to a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
Dual SIM, but no LTE
Galaxy J1 mini has a couple of microSIM slots, 3G works, reception is normal. Alas, there is no LTE, it is better not to use a smartphone as a modem for a laptop, because with 4G the Internet works much faster. There is also a GPS for navigation, Bluetooth keeps a stable connection with the Bose SoundLink On-Ear headset.

To charge every other day
Battery capacity 1,500 mAh, replaceable battery. Charging is enough for 1.5-2 days of work with checking mail, occasional use of the browser and applications for social networks. The battery life is good, but the stuffing is simple here, you wouldn't expect other numbers. The smartphone has an energy-saving profile, when we limit the number of running applications.

Outcomes
Samsung Galaxy J1 mini is the cheapest smartphone from the Korean company. It costs 5 490 rubles, like two cases for. He is capable of simple games, he cannot be called nerdy or scary in appearance. A simple smartphone from a well-known brand, and the brand name often plays a decisive role in the purchase.

In 2016, Samsung launched one of the smallest devices on the smartphone market: the 4-inch Samsung Galaxy J1 mini. In addition, the J1 mini is the cheapest smartphone from the manufacturer, with a price tag of around 80 USD at the time of writing.
This model has another name - Galaxy J1 Nxt mini, but it appears mainly in other countries. In this review, we will try to figure out what this device is.
In 2016, other devices followed, reviews of which you can find here:,,,.
Characteristics Samsung Galaxy J1 mini SM-J105H
The technical part of the smartphone is very modest by the standards of 2016.
Design
The appearance of the device is very simple, no frills. With a high probability, it can be argued that earlier budget models were taken as the basis for the design. There are 3 color variations available: black, white, gold. The product is made of matte plastic, the frame is made of metal, which is very pleasing and distinguishes the J 2016 series from last year. We had a gold color and the plastic had a pearlescent tint. The design is collapsible, the battery can also be removed. The case is 121.6 mm high, 63.1 mm wide and 10.8 mm thick. Such a "well-fed" device, but thanks to this, it lies more confidently in the hand, given the small width and height.
CPU
The device is equipped with a 4-core Spreadtrum SC8830 processor (1.2 GHz). The graphics are processed by the Mali-400 MP2 video chip. The solution is budgetary, but, in general, it is enough for work. In the interface, there are no noticeable problems with the speed of work, as well as delays in the work of applications.
The smartphone can run demanding 3D games, but it is not suitable as an affordable gaming solution due to the small screen. Demanding games like Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5, surprisingly, run smoothly, but at the smallest graphics settings. Even on a small screen in games, pixels are visible, straight lines have turned into a ladder.
Memory
The built-in memory is 8 GB, of which a little less than 4 GB is available to the user. This volume is enough to install common applications. Interestingly, a microSD card with a capacity of up to 128 GB can be installed in the memory card slot: as a rule, this is not yet found in state employees. This feature makes the Samsung Galaxy J1 mini an excellent candidate for MP3 player and voice recorder replacement. After all, this volume is more than enough to store a solid collection of music tracks.
But with the RAM, not everything is so much fun. Its volume is only 768 MB, while the generally accepted standard in modern budget devices is 1 GB of RAM. 
Battery
The battery in this smartphone is modest: only 1500 mAh. But given the specifics of such devices, they are usually not used for games, watching movies and surfing the net. Therefore, the energy consumption is more gentle. The classic scenario for using such a smartphone is calls, SMS, and occasionally social networks, listening to music from time to time, calculator and alarm clock as needed. In this mode, he will calmly hold out for one day, perhaps up to two days. It all depends on the intensity of use.
Also, the situation is partially saved by the "Maximum energy saving mode". When activated, it automatically dims the screen backlight, optimizes performance running applications, and restricts their hibernation network access.
Camera
The smartphone has 2 cameras, but here they are most likely for show. The main one is completely lacking such basic features as autofocus and flash. As for its level in daylight, it shoots tolerably well, but without autofocus it is very difficult to get a more or less clear picture of text. There are settings in the camera, and they are most likely for show. Having selected the "Sport" mode, the following picture was obtained on the main camera:
Click on image for full size
And below is a photo without the "Sports" mode. There is not much difference. 
Well, a shot with the main camera close up, with sufficient lighting:
The maximum video recording resolution is HD (1280 x 720), it is recorded at a frequency of 30 frames / s.
The 0.3MP front camera is even worse, but it will do just fine for video calls.
Will take a photo on the front camera: 
Display
The diagonal of the display is only 4 inches. V recent times this is a great rarity, and buyers can and would like to purchase a modern compact device for calls and work, but the choice is small. With a modest diagonal, the resolution is 480 x 800 pixels, but this device does not need more. The pixel density is 240 ppi, which is very low. Individual pixels can be seen. if you look closely.
The display itself is the most budgetary one and is made using TFT technology. The viewing angles are small, so if you look not at a right angle, but at least slightly to the side, the colors will darken a lot.
The reserve of brightness is enough for comfortable use indoors, as well as in places where direct sunlight does not fall.
Network communications
The smartphone is two-SIM, both slots are designed for Micro-SIM cards. One SIM can work in 2G networks, the second in 3G. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are present, the device can be used as a pocket portable access point. Navigation presented GPS support and GLONASS.
The manufacturer saved on the proximity sensor, but there is software solution, which locks the screen when you call (the screen stays on when you call). To unlock the screen during a call, you need to tap on it twice. You can accidentally, with your ear or cheek, unlock and open the notification shade, turn on Bluetooth or other functions. This is in theory and according to reviews on the network, in practice it was not possible to unlock the screen with the ear.
Sound
The hole for the main audio speaker is on the back panel near the camera. The maximum volume is sufficient to hear a call in a not particularly noisy place. There are no complaints about the quality and volume of the spoken dynamics.
Operating system
The OS is Android 5.1 Lollipop. The system is not overloaded with unnecessary elements, the shell is quite simple, so it does not slow down. There are no plans to upgrade to Android 6, but Android 5.1 is enough for this device, and even earlier versions of OS would be enough.
Pros and cons of Samsung Galaxy J1 mini

Our review Samsung Galaxy J1 mini SM-J105H
The smartphone may be of interest to those who do not need a camera, high performance and at the same time the need for phone conversations without using a headset. Considering the cost, the Samsung Galaxy J1 mini absolutely cannot compete with other devices of the lowest price segment, with the same characteristics. Yes, it is cheaper than all other smartphones from this manufacturer, but more expensive than its competitors. So Samsung, in this device, has hope for the brand and so far for the lack of a large number of fresh compact smartphones on the market.
This device is well suited for:
- using instant messengers, if the user has small fingers and he will accurately hit the letters;
- for people who fundamentally like compact smartphones and this is the main criterion when choosing;
- for a child who has this first smartphone;
- for the music lover who is not picky about sound quality. You can install a 128 GB card on the device, which can accommodate many tracks.
It's safe to say that everything that is in this smartphone is budgetary, but it works well without brakes.
Our video review of this smartphone:
Today we have to figure out what kind of reviews the Samsung J1 Mini gets from its customers, and in general, to understand what kind of phone we are talking about. Indeed, as practice shows, before making a purchase, you should pay attention to the opinions of the owners and the main characteristics of the device. This is the only way to fully realize how high-quality the gadget is in front of the user. Considering that modern world full of various phones, the choice is difficult. All mobile phones have pros and cons. They are emphasized just by the reviews. So what about the Samsung J1 Mini?
Short description
First, you should pay attention to what constitutes this device... "Samsung J1 Mini" reviews are varied, but overall they are positive. After all, the proposed gadget is nothing more than a phone with new version operating system based on "Android".
It is compact and modern device to keep in touch with the whole world. Samsung J1 Mini performs all the standard functions of a regular smartphone. But the advantage of the device, as many point out, is its size. The proposed phone is compact, small in size, but this does not prevent it from performing all the generally accepted functions. What features and characteristics does the device have and what type of feedback does it receive? Sorting out all this is not so difficult.
Dimensions (edit)
It is worth noting that Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini receives mostly positive reviews for its size. There are negative opinions, but there is no significant negative.
The thing is that the dimensions of the phone are small, especially by modern standards. This gadget is ideal for women and children. Unlike smartphones of similar characteristics, you can use it without any problems, even if the buyer has small palms. It is very convenient. At the same time, "Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini" does not receive the best reviews from customers with big hands. It is noted that this smartphone is not suitable for men. It will not be very convenient to hold it, therefore the model is called female.
Device dimensions:
- 63.1 mm - width;
- 121.6 mm - height;
- 10.8 mm - thickness.
Find with similar parameters touchscreen phone now it is very problematic. Some people are not satisfied with the thickness of the gadget. But this indicator is not so critical. In any case, it is convenient to carry "Samsung J1 Mini" in pockets.
Screen
The next component is the screen. Another important nuance that people pay attention to when choosing a smartphone. Here Mini "earns mixed reviews. Why? The diagonal of the screen is only 4 inches, and the resolution is 800 by 480 pixels. These are not the best indicators for modern smartphone... At the same time, do not forget about the size of the device. Taking them into account, we can say that the phone is quite good in display dimensions.
The screen of "Samsung J1 Mini" is capacitive and equipped with multitouch technology. Recognizes 262.14 thousand colors. The image on the screen is good, clear and of high quality. There is a function of auto-rotation of the image on the display.
Many point out that the screen has some drawbacks. For example, the phone "Samsung J1 Mini" does not receive the best reviews for the fact that the viewing angles are not very good. And in bright sunlight it is very problematic to work with the device. It is also noted that the sensor does not have a proximity sensor. This is very inconvenient during conversations. But not critical.
Memory
What other characteristics do users pay attention to? For example, for memory. There is an operational one, which is responsible for the power of the gadget, and there is a regular one, designed for these users.
The Samsung J1 Mini smartphone receives not the best reviews for the specified components. Many owners of such devices point out that this gadget is far from a gaming phone. In particular, due to the very small amount of RAM. Its only 768 MB. This model is not intended for powerful games and programs.
But with ordinary memory, everything is much easier. The built-in space in the phone is only 8 GB. Of these, about 4.4 GB will be available to the user. The rest is the space that the operating system takes up. Agree, this is not too much for these users. The Samsung J1 Mini phone receives positive reviews from the owners for the fact that it can expand the memory up to 128 GB. Not all modern gadgets provide such an opportunity. Therefore, if necessary, everyone is able to buy an additional memory card of a fairly large size and use it.
Processor and system
The processor and operating system are also important components. There are no particular complaints about them. Moreover, many are satisfied with these indicators. The thing is that the Samsung J1 Mini, the characteristics and reviews of which are presented in the article, has a 4-core processor. The power of each is 1.2 GHz. Not too much, but not too little. This is enough to work with the phone quickly and without brakes.
The operating system is what pleases many model owners. After all, Samsung J1 Mini is equipped with Android 5.1. A relatively new build that most Android fans are interested in. Works fast, no brakes. The only nuance that is emphasized is the relatively small amount of RAM. Without it, it is impossible to use 100% Android capabilities 5.1.
Battery
The next nuance is the battery. An important component of every smartphone. For her, "Samsung J1 Mini" reviews are mostly positive. Although some emphasize that working with the device will not work for a long time. In general, the battery lasts about 8 hours in the talk mode. Standby time - up to 3-4 days. But if you actively use the phone, the battery can run out the next day. Therefore, reviews vary in the information provided.
"Samsung J1 Mini" is a phone that is designed for fairly active users. But it should be borne in mind that the battery can drain very quickly. In any case, not faster than most similar phones. Among the advantages, it is also emphasized that the battery is removable. You can replace it if necessary. And this is not so difficult to do. There are many Samsung batteries in stores.
Camera
Of course, the Samsung J1 Mini has a camera. She is only rear. There is no frontal. This solution seems to some modern users not the best move. However, the rear camera shoots at 5 megapixels. This is a pretty good indicator. In experienced hands, the camera allows you to take high-quality pictures. She also has disadvantages, but they are not so significant.
The disadvantages of the Samsung J1 Mini model include the lack of an autofocus function, as well as a flash. Therefore, shooting in poorly lit places becomes very problematic. Each user should take these disadvantages into account. Otherwise, the camera is unlikely to suit. After all, some people are initially looking for a phone that will take high-quality pictures in the dark. Samsung J1 Mini is not suitable for the specified purpose.
additional characteristics
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the smartphone is equipped with additional standard functions. What can be attributed to them?
Additional features include:
- GPS navigation;
- the possibility of voice control;
- use of 2 Sim cards;
- 3G network;
- "Bluetooth";
- Wi-Fi.
All this allows you to use your phone with maximum convenience. It is not very comfortable to work on the Internet because of the small ones, but this is not such a big problem. All of these services operate quickly, efficiently, and without interruptions.
Price
Samsung J1 Mini gets positive reviews for its value. Despite some negative aspects, the owners are still generally satisfied. And all this is due to the cost.
It is noted that the specified device is a budget smartphone. It will cost a modern buyer about 5-6 thousand rubles. Not too high a price for a modern gadget with a new operating system based on "Android". Just what many need so much.
As soon as users find out how much the Samsung J1 Mini costs, the reviews change from negative, as already mentioned, to positive. After all, this phone is really good for its price, which means you can take a closer look at it.
Outcomes
What conclusions can be drawn from all of the above? Phone "Samsung J1 Mini" reviews are generally positive. it compact smartphone with very good parameters and budget cost. Perfect for working with the Internet, a camera and just to keep in touch. It is not gaming, although some programs run on the device without problems. Rather, this phone is a business and educational gadget. This should be remembered.
Should you buy the Samsung J1 Mini? If you are not embarrassed by the flaws in the form of screen flaws, absence and far from the most best camera- Yes. But if you need to purchase a powerful game device Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini needs to be excluded from options. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to all the previously listed characteristics and reviews regarding each component. Due to the lack of a proximity sensor, many call this model"the phone is not for talking."
More recently, a new budget smartphone from Samsung appeared on the market, which captivates with support for working with two SIM cards, a very affordable price tag and a relatively fresh operating system in the form of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
It's about a smartphone Samsung Galaxy J1 mini... The device is equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. The amount of RAM is 768 MB, and the built-in 4 GB with support for installing memory cards up to 128 GB. Rear camera has a 5-megapixel sensor, and the front one has a 0.3-megapixel one. The processor uses a 4-core Spreadtrum SC8830 chip with clock frequency 1.2 GHz and graphics accelerator Mali-400MP2.
The phone comes in a cardboard box, which is not particularly durable and does not make any impression. On the front of the large fonts the inscription Samsung Galaxy J1 mini flaunts, and the back side contains the main specifications and advantages of the device.
You will not be able to open the box without cutting the Samsung seal. It is precisely its safety that indicates that no one has used the device from the factory. If it is damaged, and the seller convinces of the newness of the smartphone, then you should think twice about purchasing.
The first thing he sees Samsung shopper Galaxy J1 mini after opening the package, the front of the smartphone with a huge blue sticker on the whole screen. The phone itself is wrapped in plastic so as not to be damaged during transportation. This solution is used in most budget smartphones, so there is nothing surprising in this.
After pulling the device out of the box, inside you can find a small instruction, warranty cards and certificates, a battery, and a power adapter with a microUSB cable attached to it.
The battery for the smartphone is lithium-ion and has a capacity of 1500mAh with a bandwidth of 4.35V. Samsung has never produced low-quality batteries that would somehow inflate over time, like the products of the Finnish Nokia. It is hoped that the instances used in this smartphone will not tarnish the manufacturer's reputation over time.
Power adapter supplied with Samsung Galaxy J1 mini outputs 0.7A or 5.0V to the output. The South Korean manufacturer chose an inexpensive, but quite high-quality plastic as the material for its execution, which does not feel like "china" and does not have an unpleasant odor. The microUSB cable is attached to the adapter, so you will have to purchase a separate USB cable to synchronize your smartphone with your computer. Fortunately, you can buy it in any store, but any modern person should already have it.
The Warranty Card represents themselves absolutely nothing of interest. It should only be used for warranty repair smartphone, although Samsung has been practicing electronic warranty coupons for many years, which begin to operate from the moment the phone is purchased from an official seller (Rostest).
The front of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy J1 mini, out of the box, is sealed with blue protective film, which will not allow you to check the screen for dead pixels in the store. Tearing it off completely from the front of the device, plastic is immediately felt in the hands. This is really unfortunate, as sliding your finger across the plastic surface of the display leaves a lot to be desired. Couldn't Samsung have slightly increased the cost of the device but replaced the plastic with tempered glass? Most likely, there is an explanation for this, but more on that later.
The back cover of the phone is also covered with a protective film, but this time transparent. At the top of the lid there is a protruding camera, and just to the right of it is a cutout for speakers. The back cover material is rough, so the phone should not slip out of your hands.
All side faces of the phone are also made of plastic, stylized as metal. The headphone jack is located at the top, and the slot for connecting the microUSB cable is at the bottom.
The back cover can be removed quite easily, and a dozen small latches are used as its fasteners. Under the compartment for battery there are notches for installing two SIM cards, while a microSD memory card can be inserted into a smartphone without having to pull out the battery.
The general design of the latches is not credible and there is a feeling that when falling even from a small height back cover will fly off, breaking a couple of latches. It is impossible to find out why Samsung engineers decided to use plastic protection for the phone screen, but most likely for the sake of increasing the strength of the structure. It is much more difficult to break a plastic screen than a glass one, and users budget phones, as a rule, do not differ in respect for technology.
After turning on the smartphone for the first time Samsung Galaxy J1 mini you must go through the initial setup procedure standard for all Android devices. Upon completion, the user is presented with the operating room desktop. Android systems 5.1.1 with the TouchWiz shell.
The phone's screen has a decent margin of brightness, but it's still not enough to stay readable in sunlight. Reading information from such a phone on a bright sunny day will be difficult, if not impossible.
