This is a bare-bones budget phone built for calls, texts and light browsing rather than heavy apps or games. The dual-core Spreadtrum chipset paired with just 512 MB RAM keeps things basic, and the 4.3-inch TFT screen at 480 x 800 pixels is functional but far from sharp by today's standards. Android 4.4.4 KitKat runs the show, and 4 GB of onboard storage means you'll want that microSD card slot for anything beyond the essentials.
Camera-wise, you get a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2 MP front camera for basic selfies. Video tops out at 720p, so this isn't a phone for content creators. The 1850 mAh battery is modest too, but the phone's light 122 g build and dual SIM support make it easy to carry around as a simple secondary device.
Samsung Galaxy J1 price in Malaysia starts from RM365, and it comes in White, Black and Blue.
