We’ve recently got our hands with the Galaxy J1 2016’s little brother, the Galaxy J1 Mini and despite having really low-end specs and whatnot, it felt like the phone still brought out its A-game nevertheless. With that, we figured to highlight a few great traits that can be found on this budget-centric Samsung smartphone.

The Galaxy J1 Mini isn’t exactly something that you’d expect to pack a smooth and excellent performance in software and hardware since it’s a budget phone and all though nevertheless it still stood on its own. We were able to run Clash Royal and Clash of Clans with ease using the device (though, those games don’t necessarily have the heaviest graphics) as well as delivering a complete Android experience for its software.
I know this isn’t actually something that can get anyone hyped on the Galaxy J1 Mini 2016, but nevertheless, it’s something worth to take note of. Samsung is widely known to incorporate various past handsets into developing new ones, namely in the design department and that seems to be the case on the Galaxy J1 2016 and the Galaxy J1 Mini 2016.

Yeah, you can see that we shouldn’t many changes in the specs department, since both are rather quite close, especially in the price range, but nevertheless, the almost-consistent specs list of both handsets are quite interesting to see. The more affordable Galaxy J1 Mini’s major difference in specs is under the RAM and screen department, though other than that, both are quite identical.

Hands down, the Galaxy J1 Mini 2016 is Samsung’s most affordable Lollipop smartphone in the PH market today. It runs with a low-end, but still manageable specs list and has a really good price tag. The Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini 2016 might look rather unimpressive to someone who’s an authority in the gadget world or has had its fair share of smartphones in the past, but for a beginner, the user-friendliness and light specs it has could make it a majority pick in the entry-level category.
One of the huge saving graces on the Galaxy J1 Mini was its rather impressive rear speaker. It convincingly delivered a pretty decent job in terms of audio quality and sound quality overall. Vocal output was seen to be really clear, while bass is flat out, but still right on its mark.
