Samsung Galaxy J2 Smart Glow

The Galaxy J2, part of Samsung’s most affordable series of Android handsets, is poised for a refresh. Someone who was briefed on the phone’s features and specifications ahead
of next week’s launch, which could happen as early as Monday, has revealed to VentureBeat what can be expected.  Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro features Turbo Speed Technology, which claims to help the phone in delivering superior performance including loading of native apps up to 40% faster. The company said it has rewritten frequently used native apps like Camera and Contacts for this purpose. The phone can also shutdown idle processes running in the background to boost RAM, using its intelligent memory management system.

The other major feature on the Galaxy J2 (2016) is what Samsung is calling Turbo Speed Technology (TST). See, the J2 (2016)’s internals aren’t very powerful (a 1.5GHz quad-core Spreadtrum processor and 1.5GB of RAM), and TST is simply a fancy name for system-level changes Samsung has made to improve performance. The company has optimized a few basic apps (like the phone and messaging apps) to be 40 percent lighter on memory usage, and TST also kills idle processes in the background to make sure the phone remains fast and smooth at all times.The J2 (2016) also comes with S Bike mode, which was introduced on the Galaxy J3. According to Samsung, 56 percent of users who have a device with S Bike mode use the feature for upwards of 90 minutes every day. That’s impressive but not entirely unsurprising, as motorbikes are the primary mode of transport for a majority of the Indian population. There’s no NFC for quick activation of S Bike mode, however – Samsung doesn’t think people use NFC enough to make it a permanent feature on its budget smartphones.
