It’s good to see a larger range of devices coming into Australia, even if the Galaxy J2 isn’t the device for you, it could be for someone else. Previous devices in the Galaxy J-range have been quite popular with budget-conscious consumers, and the J2 is sure to continue that lineage.
Do you know someone who would benefit from the Galaxy J2?
Should note this is the 2015 version, not the 2016 version.
