Samsung Galaxy J1 Review: What was Samsung Thinking?

By on Email @exolete

It seems there is a huge disconnect between Samsung Mobile's marketing, engineering departments and its customers. With such a mammoth organization, its not that difficult to imagine. Back to the topic of our discussion, the Samsung Galaxy J1. With just 512 MB RAM, 4GB storage, bland/bulky design, software issues and lackluster performance, the Galaxy J1 is not worth your time or money.
