Camera and Internal Storage
The Galaxy J1 4G is given a 5 MP primary snapper at its back that is teamed up with auto focus and LED flash for an enhanced low light photography. This snapper is accompanied by a front facing 2 MP camera for video conferencing and clicking self portrait shots. Given the pricing of the device, these imaging aspects seem to be less capable as there are better offerings in the market. Storage wise, the Samsung phone comes with a paltry 4 GB of native storage space that can be expanded externally by another 128 GB with the help of a micro SD card. Of course, the internal storage space is too low, but the whopping additional memory capacity helps in this segment.
