Performance
Powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor paired with a Mali-400 GPU, the Galaxy J1 offers basic performance capabilities suitable for entry-level use. It runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, an aging operating system even upon its release, indicating its positioning for users not reliant on the latest app functionalities. With only 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage, multitasking and storage options are limited, though the latter can be somewhat alleviated by a dedicated microSDXC card slot.
