Fair enough truthLuca Desbois (Jul 11, 2016) on Gadgets 360I still have not bought, but I would like, as a friend has it and the truth seems fine. Plays video in good quality, SUPER AMOLED screen gives you an incredible touch, his camera .... good. Actually, I personally recommend.Is this review helpful?

OTG Supported/4G LTE MisconceptionBerwyn John Dela Cruz (Jun 15, 2018) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsI think Samsung and Review pages such as this should make it more clear when selling their products. There are just several J1 which are 4G (J120F), but so far it's a good phone for those who want to have a cheap with a good quality smartphone. I consider it more than y53 or neo5Is this review helpful?
