Overview

The Samsung Galaxy J1 is an Android smartphone created by Samsung Electronics. Launched in January 2015, it represents the inaugural model in the Galaxy J series.[1] Positioned as an affordable option, its initial price point was approximately $100.

History

In January 2015, Samsung introduced the Galaxy J1 as the inaugural device in the J series. The 3G variant became available in February 2015, followed by the 4G version a month later.[2][3] Subsequently, Samsung expanded the lineup with additional models under the J1 designation, including the J1 Ace/Ace Neo, J1 Nxt/mini, and J1 mini prime.

The next iteration, the Galaxy J1 (2016), was launched in January 2016.[4][5]

Hardware

The Galaxy J1 was offered in two variants: one supporting 3G and another with 4G capabilities.[1][3] Both versions feature an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, with the 3G model equipped with a dual-core processor and 512 MB of RAM, whereas the 4G model includes a quad-core CPU paired with 768 MB of RAM. Each comes with 4 GB of built-in storage.[2] Additionally, both support microSD cards up to 256 GB and offer dual SIM functionality.[6] The device is equipped with a rear camera of 5 megapixels and a front-facing camera of 2 megapixels; both cameras can record video at 720p resolution at 30 frames per second.[2]

Software

Out of the box, the J1 operated on Android version 4.4.4 "KitKat" complemented by Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz interface. The original model did not receive an official upgrade to Android Lollipop, but enthusiasts developed an unofficial custom ROM based on Android Nougat version 7.1.2, available through XDA-Developers.

There is also an unofficial build of TWRP recovery tailored for this smartphone.[1][3]

A Verizon Wireless-branded version of the J1 4G was released featuring Android Lollipop version 5.0.2 initially, with an update to version 5.1.1 rolled out by September 2015.[7][8]
