Discontinued line of Android smartphones
This article is about the smartphone series. For 2013 smartphone, see
Samsung Galaxy J
.
The
Samsung Galaxy J
series
is a discontinued line of entry-level 32-bit
Android
smartphones produced by the
South Korean
company
Samsung Electronics
, first introduced in 2015 and focused on
emerging markets
. This series is a part of
Samsung Galaxy
series, preceding the current
Galaxy M
Series and placed below the mid-range
Galaxy A
Series.
History
[
edit
]
Being mainly positioned low-end segments, all models in the series have the essential features of a standard entry-level smartphone, and differ in size and design. The letter J stands for "Joy" or "Junior". However, new features such as
slow motion
and video recording at any resolution above 1080p and any frame rates above 30 frames per second are left out entirely.
Other materials are used,
[
vague
]
with Samsung targeting Asian markets or the European entry-level market. The models are updated at least annually, minor updates or variants are displayed with name additions such as Pro, Prime, Max, etc.
Despite having a similar name,
the original Galaxy J
(SGH-N075/SC-02F), released in 2013, does not actually belong to the Galaxy J series as this phone was only available in few markets, and also positioned as a high-end smartphone based on the
Samsung Galaxy S4
.
[2]
In September 2018, there were rumors that Samsung will reorganize their smartphone lineup by discontinuing the Galaxy J series along with the online-exclusive
Galaxy On
in favor of extending the mid-range
Galaxy A series
to lower-end segment and introducing the
Galaxy M series
as the new online-exclusive series of smartphones
[3]
to better compete against the increasingly popular Chinese manufacturers, such as
Huawei
,
Oppo
,
Vivo
, and
Xiaomi
in the budget smartphone market. Samsung later introduced
M10
and
M20
in January 2019,
[4]
followed by
Galaxy A10
,
A30
, and
A50
the following month,
[5]
[6]
and eventually announced that the Galaxy J series has officially merged into the Galaxy A series during the 2019 Galaxy A series launch event in April 2019 held in
Thailand
.
