Is Samsung Galaxy J2 a good phone?
darryl.herzog

The Galaxy J2 Core is Samsung's first Android Go smartphone, and it does get a couple of things right. Despite its low-end hardware like just 1GB of RAM, this phone manages to deliver snappy performance. Battery life is another big plus point.

Why is my Samsung J2 so slow?
von_reynolds
over 1 year ago
Uninstall or Disable Unused Apps (60 Seconds) The first thing that you need to do on your Galaxy J2 is to identify all the unnecessary apps. Because your device doesn't have a large storage space and it sure doesn't have a good RAM support. Your phone's performance will suffer quite a mouthful if it has large apps.
