Samsung Galaxy J6

The Samsung Galaxy J6 is a stylish new smartphone with some high-quality features thrown in as well. Under the hood, a modestly powerful configuration is available that should be ample for day-to-day tasks and a little light gaming too.  A primary 13 MP camera and 8MP selfie-clicker are par for the course in this price range and get the job done with very few complaints. The 32GB storage of the smartphone is good enough for day-to-day use and can be further extended in a dedicated Micro SD card slot up to 256 GB which is twice the 128GB cap usually available below this price range. The 3000 mAh battery while being just a tad less for heavy use, should easily last a whole day of normal day-to-day activities. No adaptive fast-charging option is included unfortunately so a power bank might need to be kept handy for emergencies. Overall, the smartphone Samsung Galaxy J6 is a competent contender in this price segment.

For selfie lovers, an 8MP front snapper is present with an LED flash to help in low-light conditions.

Configuration and Connectivity
