Standard screen, not Super AMOLED
Compared to its predecessor the Galaxy screen J2 Prime bit bigger. So originally used more cool to enjoy contents presented in it. But unfortunately, this sector even untouched improved performance. Screen resolution is still made similar long series, 540x960 pixels (qHD). Impact 5 inch screen capability looks not optimal. The overlay is not soft.
In fact, the Super AMOLED technology previously used in Galaxy J2 is now gone, replaced by ordinary TFT type screen. This makes the screen look more "bleak". Lose much of the clarity and sharpness of the preceding series.
Even so the performance of the Galaxy screen J2 Prime is still reliable. Access screen transitions, tap, scroll, sweep and others can work well without any constraints. Typing on the virtual keyboard is also nice and comfortable. Minimal typo incident, although the fingers of users is relatively large.
In outdoor use (outdoor) such as under the sun rays, overlay Galaxy phone screen is still clearly visible. If it is less bright can activate "Outdoor Mode", which is on-Display Settings menu.
CPU Faster

8 MP camera and 5 MP
Power snap camera phone is better than the seniors. Galaxy J2 camera resolution 8 MP Prime ie in the rear and 5 MP on the front (previously 5 MP + 2MP). Each supported LED flash.
The results of the main camera portrait at adequate light conditions (outdoor) spelled good for the size of the camera phone in its class. The picture is bright, object details and natural colors. But somewhat different when in indoor. His picture is a bit dark and quite a lot of his noise. Indeed, the flash can dimaanfaatkan to help the lighting, but the noise is still visible.
For selfie? 5 MP front camera is its relatively qualified. Moreover seconded flash lights up the results of a portrait remains bright despite the air-Selfie in dim light conditions. The results of this selfie would be optimal if the shooting is done under the lighting plentiful.
There is a shortage in the front of the camera's Galaxy Prime J2, which could not accommodate the action video calls (via WhatsApp) well.
