Samsung is trying to regain its number one spot within the Indian smartphone marketplace and is besieged using more youthful brands together with Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Infinix. At every fee factor other than the extremely-high-quit, its merchandise has not constantly supplied the specs others provide for buyers who do not have large quantities of money to spend. Each little feature and bump to the specifications counts as delivered value.

Samsung is fighting again with its Galaxy J series, that’s aimed toward younger shoppers. The organization tells us that this series is the smart way to styling new fashions and software functions advanced, especially for younger Indians. The new Samsung Galaxy J4+ ₹ 16,250 and Galaxy J6+ are extraordinarily similar, and in reality, they feel like they’re simply variations of the equal device. Priced at Rs. 10,990 and Rs. 15,990 respectively, they will cross up in opposition to a number of the most in-demand models in India right now. We’ve were given both of them for an overview, and we’re curious to peer how Samsung plans to fight again.

Samsung Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ design

The phones are practically the same in phrases of the layout. The handiest outside differences are that the Galaxy J6+ has cameras on its lower back and an extensive, sunken energy button with an included fingerprint sensor on its right. In contrast, the Galaxy J4+ has an unmarried rear digicam and an ordinary power button. Both are to be had in blue and black. However, gold is extraordinary to the Galaxy J4+ while the Galaxy J6+ gets an ambitious crimson alternative, which is unusual for Samsung phones. Other than these items, it’s not possible to inform the two models aside. Both have the exact dimensions and experience identical phrases of weight.

Both the Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ feature 18.9: five screens, which Samsung calls Infinity Displays even though the perimeters of those telephones aren’t curved, and there are nevertheless extensive borders above and under. The glass at the front and rear is barely rounded, and each is pretty slippery. There’s a pattern of very tiny dots under the mirror at the end, and sadly it without a doubt highlights the number of streaks that both phones select up.

On the left of every cell phone, you’ll find individual extent buttons as well as trays — one for a single Nano-SIM and a bigger one for a second Nano-SIM in addition to a microSD card. This manner which you don’t should select between a 2nd SIM and extra storage. Both telephones have 3.5mm audio sockets and Micro-USB ports on the lowest and nothing on the pinnacle. There are tiny slits on the upper proper of every cell phone for loudspeakers, and we noticed that those tended to pick up pretty a variety of pocket lint over the route of some days.

The Galaxy J4+ doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor at all, and its stubby little power button is located a bit too excessive for our comfort. The sensor on the Galaxy J6+ takes quite a bit of having used to as it’s included into the strength button on the facet and is completely flush with the frame in a very subtle recess. The positioning will not be convenient for left-exceeded people. We also observed ourselves groping and sliding up and down the facet of the Galaxy J6+ quite frequently. When this telephone became lying on a table, angling our arms properly proved awkward and irritating, both telephones are incredibly huge, even though nowadays’s requirements. You’ll be satisfied if you like massive displays. However, we found both a chunk too heavy and unwieldy for comfortable everyday use.

Samsung Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ specifications

Samsung seems to have studied the marketplace and prioritized fashion and functions over raw energy. The screens on each telephone measure 6 inches diagonally with resolutions of 720×1480. They’re both vibrant and vibrant despite no longer using OLED panels like Samsung’s extra luxurious fashions; however, they do suffer slightly in phrases of sharpness. The Galaxy J6+, in particular, is priced up towards many phones that do higher in this branch.

Considering how aggressive the Indian phone marketplace is, we had been quite amazed while Samsung introduced that the Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ use Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processors. This SoC launched in overdue 2016, and we’ve seen it in several extraordinarily low-give up telephones consisting of the Xiaomi Redmi 4A (Review) and Redmi 5A (Review), 10. Or D (Review), Infinix Hot 6 Pro (Review), Moto E5 ₹ 6,969, and Nokia 2.1 ₹ five,908. The Snapdragon 425 has four ARM Cortex-A53 cores jogging at 1.4GHz, and the very simple Adreno 308 included GPU.

Both phones have the same 3300mAh battery. However, there’s no quick charging, although the processor used helps Qualcomm Quick Charge 2. Zero. VoLTE is supported on both phones, but 4G can most effectively be energetic via one SIM at a time.

Other miscellaneous capabilities encompass Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, GLONASS, and a gyro sensor. Thankfully each telephone does have ambient mild sensors, which Samsung skimped out on with the Galaxy J6 (Review) no longer too lengthy ago. Also, Samsung has said that both phones are Widevine L1 DRM certified to support HD video streaming, no doubt in reaction to other high-profile manufacturers identifying that this isn’t important.

Samsung Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ run Android 8.1 with Samsung Experience nine. Five, and both acquired the September 2018 Android protection patch at distinct factors during our evaluation duration. There are a variety of customizations along with Samsung’s promotional apps and widgets. My Galaxy particularly became highly aggressive, sending us a couple of notifications every day for “entertainment and different offers” on the whole lot from Bollywood to music, movies, product sales, or even coverage consultations.

There’s a lot to find inside every smartphone’s Settings app. You can choose to reorder the navigation buttons or disguise them and swipe upwards in each one’s region to trigger their movements. Given most of these telephones, we determined the gestures inconvenient, but your mileage might also vary. There are various gestures, Dual Messenger mode, which best works with positive apps, a blue light filter out, game mode, smooth mode, and significantly information saving mode. Samsung’s J collection is also acknowledged for Indianised capabilities, including S Bike Mode to enhance on-avenue protection, S Power Planning for battery control, and the ability to put in apps to a microSD card.
