There is nothing so spectacular about Galaxy J2 (2017). Most of its features are copied from the 2016 version. Some persons have even criticized Samsung for demanding up to 120 euros as cost price for J2 without giving commensurate features that match the prices. Once again the woes of Samsung continues to rage up. In our rating, we will give 6 stars out of ten.
