SAMSUNG MOBILE originally released the J1 model in 2015 but they upgraded the device to accommodate more advance feature which result in J1 2016 model which has tons of upgrade from its predecessor.
BUILD
The phone has an overall plastic build and feels durable when touch. The front has the 4.5 inches super Amoled screen with 2 megapixel camera and sensors on top and touch capacitive on the lower part .the screen panel gives nice and vibrant color very good for gaming and movie watching while keeping the same quality outdoor in a bright sunny day, thanks to that super amoled screen they put in. The power button is located on the right side while the volume control is on the left.
Charging port is at the bottom and the earpiece jack is on top. flip the phone and you will see the 5 megapixel camera together with its flash and speaker. The phone has thick black bezel and the overall size is larger than my expectation and a little hefty but feels good in the hand.
CAMERA
The samsung galaxy J1 2016 model has 5mp f2.2 aperture shooter with flash at the back and 2mp in front. The back camera can produce good quality images and video (Samples below). I was surprized when I took a video sample for you guys, the outcome was AMAZING!!. Sometimes the outcome of the photos were a little washed and bright but the image was still clear and detailed. the phone struggles on low light and produce less detailed photo especially the front camera.

BATTERY
It has 2050 mah capacity. For a phone that has 4.5 super amoled screen and quad-core processor running on 1.3 Ghz, this should be enough to last you for a day on regular phone call,
texting, some social media sites using data connection and acceptable gaming endurance that will last for about 3 hours 'give or take' for straight game.
VERDICT
From the short time I had the Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 model, I can say that its worth it. The price maybe a little higher compare to the local entry level smartphone in the market, but the J1 outstand in terms of display quality, durability and for its price, every penny is worth it. But of course the phone may not satisfy everyone especially the heavy gamers in terms of performance since I experience a lot of minor lags. You can also get a more powerful smartphone even below this price range. Overall, the SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 2016 gets the job done.
