Samsung India Electronics today announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy J2, the latest entrant in the Galaxy J family.

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.
