Samsung has come out with quite a simplistic yet efficient device with the Galaxy J6. The smartphone comes in a plain shell incorporating Samsung's premium features like the Infinity display and offers ample firepower for base smartphone users who would not require too heavy performance output out...

Samsung may have made a bang with the Galaxy S9, S9 Plus and their dual aperture capabilities, but the Korean tech-giant has been losing it's market share in India continuously in the past two quarters.

Micro USB charging port; 13MP rear camera; Entry-level chipset

Once the market leader in the entry-level and mid-range smartphone segments, Samsung has been lagging behind for the past couple of years thank to the influx of extremely affordable devices from the likes of Xiaomi and others.

The Galaxy J-series by Samsung has a variety of options to cater different users with varying budgets in the affordable smartphone segment. The devices which represent Samsung in the segment might not have the highest-rated specifications, but come with a brand value and a familiar user experience...

Before Xiaomi, Motorola and a few others sold feature-packed smartphones offering tons of features, Samsung used to dominate the budget-midrange smartphone market. Their Grand series of Android smartphones offered the best one could expect from a phone at that price point.

Full-front display The Samsung Galaxy J6 2018 has an ample 5.6" Super AMOLED full-front display. This fills more of the front screen for a more immersive experience. There is a 18.5:9 screen aspect ratio with HD+ (1480 x 720 pixels) resolution.

Since the in-pouring of Chinese smartphones in the Indian market, it has become difficult for the handset makers like Samsung, HTC and LG to make a dent in the mid-range smartphone segment.

The Samsung Galaxy J6 starts at Rs 13,990. It comes with a fingerprint sensor and face unlock feature. The Galaxy J6 runs Android 8.0 Oreo OS. Samsung was once the budget king in the affordable and mid-range smartphone segments.
