Technical Specifications

The Galaxy J2 Core will have a Quad Core processor and 1GB of RAM. Some features on mobile phones from a few years ago, but with Android Go it shouldn't give us performance problems.

Pre-Installed Go Apps

Thus, apps like Youtube Go or Maps Go They are designed to be used on smartphones with low performance. These types of apps come pre-installed as standard on the Galaxy J2 Core, so that users can use them without having to install the original ones, which tend to consume a lot more resources.

For India and Malaysia (in principle)

This smartphone has gone on sale on August 24 in India and Malaysia. Keep in mind that this is a mobile designed for emerging markets, where practically no one spends hundreds of euros on a device. The price with which it has gone on sale is less than 100 euros, ideal for opening up a market in those countries.
