Samsung Galaxy J6 launched with Infinity Display and Android 8.0 Oreo

Samsung Galaxy J6 has been launched alongside the Galaxy J4 we reviewed earlier. The Galaxy J6 comes with lots of advanced features than the J4, the Infinity display is the first thing you’d notice on this device.

This offers a much better and viewing experience than its predecessor. There’s an octa-core processor here as well, a rear fingerprint scanner, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. Want to know more? Stay with me.

Still sports the same Plastic body on the J4, but at least there’s a fingerprint scanner now to unlock the device even faster. On top of the fingerprint scanner is the rear camera, while sitting beside the camera is the LED flash.

It’s also little too bulky than the J4, measuring 8.2mm in thickness and weighing just 154g overall. The fact that it weighs less than the J4 is also an advantage to this stunning beauty. You can get it in Black, Gold and Blue colors.

To the highlight of the device, the Infinity display is here to stay on the J series. The J6 is the first to sport the trending bezel-less screen. The bottom bezel has no navigation buttons this time around and it’s quite minimal. While the top bezel houses the usual features.

Under the hood, the Exynos 7870 chip takes charge with an Octa-Core processor and 64-bit CPU architecture. The 8-Cores of processor here runs at a fast pace of 1.6GHz with 14nm FinFET process technology. In the graphics department, the Mali-T830 MP1 is in total control.

There are two versions in terms of RAM and storage space, there’s a standard version with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM. While the cheaper variant packs 32GB storage and 3GB of RAM, you can upgrade both storage up to 256GB. The Samsung Galaxy J6 runs on Android 8.0 Oreo.

Camera

The same 13MP rear camera on the J4 here with f/1.9 aperture lens. There’s OIS, autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, face detection, panorama, HDR and other quality features. The much clearer 8MP selfie camera takes care of selfies with f/1.9 aperture and a dedicated LED flash as well.
