In its press release, the company stated that it will be holding special promotions for students aged between 18 and 21. Those who purchase the device, can later exchange the device for a Galaxy S-series or a Galaxy Note-series device. The Galaxy J2 Pro also comes pre-loaded with the Diodic4 app that offer Korean and English dictionaries. Besides students, the Samsung is also targeting senior citizens tho might not have use for internet-dependent features.
In terms of specifications, the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro sports a 5-inch qHD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. It is powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM and offers 16GB of inbuilt storage. At the back of the phone is an 8MP camera, while at the front is a 5MP unit. The smartphone is equipped with a 2600mAh battery.
