Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (2020) technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (2020) suits basic phone use, but its 2,600 mAh battery is among the smallest of its time. This compact phone pairs a 5-inch PLS LCD display with Android 8, and its 154 g weight puts it among the lightest phones of the period.
The display has 220 ppi, among the lowest pixel densities of its time. That is a notable limitation for anyone who prioritizes a detailed screen. Its 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage are also among the most limited configurations of the period. Storage is expandable, and the processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425.
The 8 MP rear camera resolution and f/2.2 aperture are each among the weakest of their time for those respective specifications. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps, and an LED flash is included. The removable battery charges at 5 W, among the slowest rates of its time. Connectivity includes dual Micro-SIM with Dual SIM Dual Standby, LTE, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou. There is also an FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Its overall NeoScore is 2.4, placing it among the weakest phones launched around the same time. It may suit someone looking for a lightweight phone for basic tasks, provided the limited battery capacity, display density and memory are acceptable.
