Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) SM-J120F / DS

Advantages: Normally holds a charge.
Bright screen.
Good camera. (for my money of course)
Perfectly catches the connection, almost always 4g.
Quickly find gps satellites and does not lose them.
Good in the hand.

Disadvantages: Sometimes it slows down, but rarely.
When talking in windy weather, your interlocutor will not hear you well.

Comment: For your money, the phone is excellent. I have been using it for 7 months.

Advantages: Holds a charge for a long time.
Speed ​​in everyday tasks (calls, sms, e-mail, various instant messengers, browsing pages in the browser, photo sharing, video).
Good speaker.
High-quality display (one of the best in its price segment).
Ergonomic case that consequently pleases when using phone.
Excellent response at the screen.
4G (with what the battery does not have a strong effect when even this mode is on and active).
2 sim cards.
High-quality plastic (not brandy and durable, does not slip in your hand).
Optimization mode. Personally, I noticed that it works, and not just shows beautiful pictures with percentages and checkmarks. If the application has not been opened for more than 3 days, it immediately goes into hibernation and does not burn RAM and battery. Plus, there is a setting for this optimization (quite flexible) that called to set up the device.

Disadvantages: Rather, not a disadvantage, but a feature and a victim of a low price — a weak camera.
Under a weak camera, I mean poor color and sooo long focusing on the object.
And here's another point, there is no auto-adjusting screen brightness. First upset because I always had the previous ones, but I got used to it just in a week. Everything is very simple: I put 50% of brightness from morning to evening (I have enough on the street to see well, everything is on the screen), as dusk falls I reduce it to 25% (approximately) so that the brightness does not catch on when you use low light . and EVERYTHING! Twice a day, you lower the "curtain" to adjust and there are no problems. I forgot about this "flaw".

Comment: Great machine. Balanced at 100%.
Convenient, smart for everyday work. I did not expect the price of such performance from a smartphone pa modest by today's standards.Of course, not the flagship and the game can not be mined (again, looking at which ones).
For several months of use there was a clear feeling of confidence in the phone. I'm going to Moscow by train or by car, I am sure that I will have enough charge for the player and for the navigator.
The quality of the telephone connection and the Internet connection is excellent.
In general, I initially took it as a temporary option before buying a flagship from Sony or Samsung, and now I use it and only pleases.
The result is that the device justifies its price completely and does not cause unnecessary problems to the owner. The only thing that the developers "scored" is the camera.

Advantages: Price. LTE. Screen. Battery.

Disadvantages: Not yet discovered.

Comment: Bought based on the reviews. He expected that he should be good, but he exceeded my expectations. Nimble. Bright screen. The assembly is not dense backlash. The battery holds 6 hours in the Wi-Fi point mode and then not until the end. Hours 4-5 in the navigator mode. Just as the phone is just enough for a day just enough, and saving is not particularly necessary. There is a saving mode - the difference in the functionality is not particularly noticed. Put as early as possible 50%. There is generally an atomic thing super economy mode (b / w screen, minimum of functions) Turbo charging. I did not have time to stick already pumped 100%. Internet 4G flies. The connection clings. Wi-Fi finds and connects it is not clear what side and pulls. Android fresh. The update has come to even newer. A bunch of settings, everything is regulated. All in mind. I am satisfied with the purchase. 10-15 applications openly does not slow down. While loading all sorts of widgets, etc. So far without brakes. Not buggy. Does not crash. The screen is bright. The speaker is excellent, I did not understand, but it seems there are three of them (front, back, and some kind of sound amplification). The proximity sensor is. Communication as if talking to a person live. It is worth every ruble.
Supplement: From the puppy delight, I decided to note that he was still flying, although he had already taught prog .. Compared to the fifth iPhone, it’s just a buzz. No aytyuns, no sync and other mora. He stuck it on the computer like a flash drive. He took the SD card, filled it, moved it to where he wanted in the photo, TV, printer, computer, reader. Kayf. Akkum separately, you can change. Charged by USB. Plays and charges. What about the price? What are 78-50-45-30 thousand? Have you been stunned? I watch ZTE ads for 11 tr. and think how expensive ... for what? For the camera and the screen? I don `t need it.

Advantages: 1) Not expensive
2) Good battery
3) Bright, juicy dysplay (even a chur)
4) Loud speaker
5) It catches the net well

Disadvantages: For such a price, the phone has no flaws. But it is still useful to know that:
1) No notification indicator
2) Touch buttons without backlight

Comment: I chose a phone for a long time, I wanted to make the right choice and scan the information inside and out. The choice stopped at j1 and I do not regret a bit. I use it for a week, I installed everything I need. The phone is not a game, but I did not need one. To me, the main quality is in the details. It works quite quickly, but not fast (it’s understandable, it’s not a flagship). I have enough cameras. The sound is great. The most important thing that I really liked - very long work offline! For me, as a person who needs a phone, not to "play around", but for basic functions, 10% is enough for a day with interest, if only I take it on business. The perfect phone for people who are not picky, who need not for pampering.

Advantages: A small phone that will please those who are tired of shovels. I am great for work. 2 Sims working / home. Calls all day, navigator in the car at least 2.5 hours a day. The battery can withstand the day. 4G started to catch only after updating the firmware, but I didn’t see any real benefit from it on Beeline. A couple of times fell without consequences. I have enough memory for everything. I need applications: 3 social networks, 3 messengers, a navigator, 2 emails, accounting and other tools.

Disadvantages: For this price they are not.

Comment: I wanted to buy a flagship SONY, then I asked for a smart at work and I bought this one. Now I don’t understand at all that I was given a phone for 25,000 rubles if I don’t take a selfie and don’t play toys ?!

Advantages: - Value for money / brand
- Optimal diagonal of display 4.5
- Amoled display and picture settings (juicy, auto, games, regular)
- 2 SIM
- 4G LTE support
- Holds a good charge (for 2050 ma) and emergency power saving mode
- Branded mechanical button Samsung
- A good autofocus camera.
- Loud bass speaker for both music and conversational
- Very accurate and tenacious GPS + GLONASS (20 satellites against 7 on the previous Phillips, on which the navigation worked in general through ... op)
- Useful utilities included (optimizer, antivirus)
- Bright flash diode - great flashlight
- After Phillips - almost not heated
- Viewing the video because of the low resolution of the screen is not so "sits" the battery ...

Disadvantages: - The display, though amoled, but the resolution is rather weak ... (but for the money))))
- No light sensor
- No event indicator (SMS, missed calls)
- The screen is not HD so on YouTube viewing video quality is not higher than 480.
- There is nothing in the set except the charger, there is not even a data transmission cable (for me it is not critical - the cables are already there and the headphones are still cheap in sets)

Comment: Banal phrase - but an excellent phone for your money from a reputable brand. If you are interested in calls, Internet, navigation, social. networks, music - this smart meet your expectations. Its price is 7900 re in ordinary networks (in online stores you can find it for 6800) - it justifies every ruble spent on it. It is at least incorrect to compare it with phones for 20-30 kilorubles ... According to reviews and video reviews, this model is purposefully targeted.

Advantages: Speed, very high-quality display, tightly assembled, 4 g, good sound, not tupit, not buggy.

Disadvantages: Slippery, battery 1-1.5 days with active use of the Internet and Wi-Fi, although it may be a plus. Lousy charging in the kit and nothing more, but this is not critical)

Comment: Took over 7200, satisfied. Before that, there was a powerful phone, a gaming one, so to speak, so this internet one. Call, write, internet, work - perfect.

Advantages: Amoled display, battery (1.5 days of work - the rest is 56%), 4G, Android 5, not a shovel (for me, dignity), the mode of extreme energy saving.

Disadvantages: I did not see.

Comment: For such money (8990r.) Smart device !!! Yes, by the way, I read somewhere that in this phone there is no reminder of missed calls or unread SMS. It's all there! You just need to run through all the menu items once and examine your phone. And who does not want to do this, will prompt Settings-> Special features-> Notification reminder;)

Advantages: Excellent build and quality of the device as a whole. It works very smoothly and stably.
High-quality screen, bright, legible, easy to read in the sun.
Good sound quality from the headphone output, the smartphone is quite suitable for use as a music player.
Long battery life, I have enough for 2-3 days.

Disadvantages: I did not find any significant shortcomings, there are more likely some budgetary costs, namely:
There is no light sensor, the screen brightness will have to be adjusted manually.
No NFC.
Buttons are not highlighted, rather large frames at the screen.
Does not catch wifi 5GHz.

Comment: Despite the budget, the smartphone is distinguished by its smooth operation both in the menu, and in the browser, and in third-party applications, the screen is very responsive. This parameter is no worse than for example the iPhone 5s.
The AMOLED screen is very good, the resolution is sufficient, although if we compare it with flagships like the Galaxy S5-S6, then some kind of image blurring is felt. The films look just fine, it is also very comfortable to read. Oleophobic coating seems to have, finger slides normally.
In the hand is good. The back cover is a bit slippery, but there are almost no fingerprints left (I have a black device).
All the programs that I installed - WhatsApp, PowerAmp, MX Player, Yandex maps, taxi, metro, AlReader, Smart AudioBook Player and others work absolutely without problems, smoothly and clearly.MX Player with neon codecs plays HD video perfectly. The built-in browser also works as it should.
There are no complaints about the work of the wireless modules, WiFi catches well, LTE too, GPS determines the position quickly, headphones work perfectly with Bluetooth. The quality of the conversation is very good both ways.
The 5MP camera is average, quite suitable both for photographing texts, and for ordinary photos without big complaints. There is a bright flash that can work as a flashlight.
The 64GB memory card works fine, the device understands the exFAT file system. Copy speed to a memory card from a computer is good.
Very pleased with the sound from the output of the headphones, the smartphone easily “pumps” even professional Audio-Technica ATH-M50.
Overall a great inexpensive phone, I recommend. It should be borne in mind that this phone is available in two versions - model J120F and J120H. I advise you to take the J120F model, it has a more powerful processor and a video accelerator, it has 4G, more battery life, there are other differences for the better.

Advantages: + Android 5.1
+ 2 SIM cards
+ size is medium, not too big.
+ AMOLED color and juicy screen
+ smart, the Internet works fast
+ build quality
+ the interlocutor is clearly and clearly heard when talking, there are no extraneous noises
+ there is a memory card slot
I stuck the protective glass on the screen. Someone wrote in a review that it is not possible to stick the glass, because The screen itself is plastic and that only a protective film can be stuck. Everything is very well glued and it is for this phone that the glass has already appeared on sale.

Disadvantages: - The camera is rather weak, the pictures are blurry, but friends, forgive it, this is a phone, not a camera!
- The edging of the phone looks like a metal one, in fact it is a silver colored plastic. But this is the little things!

Comment: I think, this line of phones will quickly disperse among users, judging by the category — price and quality — it occupies a leading place! I put 5-ku.
I advise!
