Fair enough truth

Luca Desbois (Jul 11, 2016) on Gadgets 360

I 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.

OTG Supported/4G LTE Misconception

Berwyn John Dela Cruz (Jun 15, 2018) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

I 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 neo5
