Samsung Introduces Galaxy J2: Makes 4G Accessible and Relevant for India
Samsung India Electronics today announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy J2, the latest entrant in the Galaxy J family. With the launch of Galaxy J2, Samsung has further strengthened its portfolio of 4G LTE smart phones allowing customers to have superfast internet connectivity and faster downloads.
The Galaxy J2, apart from being a 4G enabled smart phone, is tailor-made to meet Indian consumer needs. The genesis of Galaxy J2 is Samsung’s desire to extend a differentiated 4G experience by addressing three key consumer requirements of a rich and immersive display, a cost-efficient Internet experience, and an enhanced performance device. Samsung has thus equipped Galaxy J2, with a diverse range of premium features including a qHD Super AMOLED screen, a powerful 1.3 GHz Quad Core processor, to deliver an unparalleled 4G smart phone experience.
Over and above these premium features, Samsung has also developed an India-centric innovation by introducing Ultra Data Saving Mode, which delivers up to 50% data saving and up to 2X battery standby time, thereby making Samsung Galaxy J2 the most cost-efficient 4G device in the market.
Mr. Vishal Kaul, General Manager, Mobile Business at Samsung India, said “We at Samsung are committed to empower our customers with the best-in-class and innovative technology across price segments. Samsung Galaxy J2, our entry level smart phone, has been specially made keeping in mind the Indian consumer’s sensibilities to make 4G accessible and relevant for all”.
“The Galaxy J2 reinforces our commitment to ‘Make for India’. Ultra Data Saving Mode, which is the key feature in the device, has been developed at our Indian R&D facilities to deliver the most cost efficient 4G device.” added Mr. Asim Warsi.
Made in India, Made for India:
Key features of the new Galaxy J2 have been developed in Samsung’s Indian R&D facilities, strengthening the company’s commitment to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make for India’. Ranging from India-centric user interface themes to the revolutionary Ultra Data Saving mode, the Indian R&D team has played a key role in the overall development of the device.
The ‘Ultra Data Saving’ (UDS) mode ensures that the user has access to more internet while using less data. UDS mode provides up to 50% savings in data and also frees up to 11% RAM, thereby refining customer experience on a smart phone.
