Of the three that have been shown—the Samsung Milky way J7, J5, and J1—only the last entry of the 3 made it to our PCMag Bounding main Labs. As per announced at the Malaysian launch consequence for these devices, this particular unit comes with a bundled Yes 4G prepaid SIM card that packs in 30GB of free bandwidth to use.

What I find most interesting near the unboxing is how the package for the Samsung Milky way J1 (2016) comes with a in-ear headphone set with inline mic.

The Yes 4G prepaid SIM that is bundled with this device, and for all entries within the Samsung Galaxy J-Series (2016) for that matter, confirms the fact that this seemingly basic smartphone rocks a couple of high-finish advancements. This includes Vocalism over LTE (VoLTE) capabilities, TD-LTE connection support, and HD Voice delivery. The last feature tin only come into play when it has digital vocalization calling, a specific part that only Yeah 4G now offers fully on its LTE network.

Complementing the enhanced 4G connection is the Ultra Data Saving Mode that Samsung has incorporated into the Samsung Milky way J-Series (2016) family. When engaged, the organisation will streamline data consumption by optimising content usage in heavily used mobile apps and services, ensuring that mobile information would not be used and so speedily. This, in Samsung's words, will allow for limited data capacity to exist stretched out for longer periods.

Having sized upwards the Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) personally, this pint-sized smartphone is definitely not some pushover. Its heft reflects the somewhat bulky expect of its chassis. While somewhat backwards, I similar to think it fits the small blueprint. If anything, information technology offers a nice grip and user treatment feel.

Like all Samsung smartphone offerings, the push button layout is pretty much the same as before - left side sports the SIM tray while the power and book rocker buttons are parked on the correct. The top and bottom, respectively, sport the audio jack and microUSB port.As for camera optics, taking the peak half of the backplate for the Samsung Galaxy J1 is a 5MP main photographic camera while up front is a 2MP shooter.

Underneath the backplate are ii micro-SIM slots, both of which are 4G LTE ready and able to operate together in a tandem procedure.

If annihilation, the Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) lives up to the expectation of existence a direct-forward smartphone that offers some extras that make it worthwhile to ain.
