I bought the J1 (SM-J100ML) in exchange for my MyPhone My32L garbage which has octacore CPU and stuff. This Samsung feels much better on my hand than the MyPhone and I’m not a hardcore user anyway.
Note: in less than a month, the myphone’s speaker broke. What’s the use of octacore CPU and 1GB of RAM when you can’t hear your ringtone going off when you have a call..Using headsets are a pain… Waste of money. I’d rather pay a much higher price for a low-spec branded phone than a monster local brand smartphone that goes haywire in a couple of weeks.
