Newly arrived in Brazil, the Galaxy J6 is the newest member of the company's J-series. The entry-level smartphone, won the famous Super AMOLED infinite screen of the more expensive models and also brought Digital TV, for the Brazilian who loves football and soap operas. The J6 comes in four colors: black, silver, violet and gold; and in two storage sizes: 32GB and 64GB (we tested the black and 32GB model). 5l4f6v
The J family currently represents 31% of all smartphone sales in the Latin America region, with more than 47,4 million units. In Brazil, 47% of the devices sold in the first half of 2018 were of the J line, according to a survey by GFK.
Design 145g70
to leave the Galaxy J6 with a model look, Samsung chose the model to be the first of the J family to win the “Infinite Display” design. The device features a 5,6-inch super AMOLED screen with HD+ resolution (1480 x 720 pixels) and 18,5:9 aspect ratio. With this, the smartphone gains refinements of a device.
A Samsung hit this front of the device squarely, leaving it almost all the front just for the screen and throwing the fingerprint reader to the rear, below the sensor of the main camera. The company could have paid more attention to the back, as it left the model with a non-removable back and matte plastic finishing on the sides. But we understand that the problem here is the cost of improving this.
His grip is not good, even for those with big hands. And at the end of a heavy day of use, the material of the rear casing adheres a lot of oil, fingerprints and some scratches.
Performance 58a2u
With just 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage and its own old eight-core processor, the Exynos 7870 1,6 GHz, we cannot expect it to “fly without turbulence”. Performance and storage are very limited. But at least they didn't forget about the expansion by microSD and still offer a free 15 GB storage on the Samsung Cloud.
the tray of Galaxy J6 it's not the hybrid format, which is very good, so you can use 2 SIM cards and the expandable microSD at the same time.
Performance with many apps open at the same time has always been a problem for a device that doesn't have a powerful processor and low RAM. The never closes if both don't deliver a powerful set, don't expect to be able to open everything and zap from one to the other without the little ones lagging appear.
It's fine to keep the P2 headphone jack, even if the accompanying headphones aren't one of the best, but keeping an exclusively HD+ screen resolution and micro-USB port with no fast-charging option is indeed a shot in the arm. foot for this renewal of the J line.
The speaker has a powerful audio output, but its location on the side is another serious problem. In tests, I always found myself covering the sound with my hand when watching something on the big screen in horizontal mode.
For the accustomed to the initial models, the adaptation to the Samsung J6 It will be very quiet and will perhaps even surprise you. But if you made a downgrade of the intermediate or model, I warn you that we are not dealing with a device that bursts.
I left to talk about the 3.000 mAh battery further down in this review and I will also talk about another very interesting point that is the for digital TV in high definition, aimed at the Brazilian version of the gadget.

It's 2018, Samsung! Screens with Full HD resolution within the company's own devices appeared there in 2013. Since it is to take advantage of the new 18,5:9 aspect ratio, it should come at least with 1920 x 1080 pixels.
We know that even more expensive models like the brand new iPhone XR, do not have Full HD resolution, but the Samsung J6 could bring this option of offering the choice of image quality to the (when he doesn't have a fast connection or simply wants more screen time on).
Apart from the resolution, the sharpness and color contrast are very good. Most of the times we used the device, it was always with “Blue light filter” mode activated by default, so that the light intensity of the super AMOLED screen doesn't strain the eyes in dark environments. Even outdoors this mode was always on.
Cameras 353z5z
The model's camera set is very simple, with 13 MP and f/1.9 aperture on the main camera and an 8 MP secondary camera with the same f/1.9 aperture. Despite having good results in low light and in everyday life, the Galaxy J6 sensor is inferior to other models in the J family.
In photos with a lot of light, in open environments, the result is acceptable, but could deliver better performance. In the photos in blurred selfie mode and normal selfie, in both cases, we find flaws in contours and a lower level of detail than many older devices. Many of the photos had noises or burst scenes, with too much light.

System and extras 4n3a2m
Android 8.0 arrives with a very pleasant system in conjunction with Samsung Experience 9.0. Usability and performance in various applications has always been a pleasant point in the daily use of the device.
In of security, the device proved to be very fast in reading fingerprints and facial recognition. Even in dark environments and wearing prescription glasses, the device recognized the editor's face most of the time. More than positive point for these functions in the Samsung J6.
The performance within Instagram it was a serious problem in the day to day of the device. Any video or image posted in mode stories, that included some “GIF”, made the application crash and it was necessary to uninstall it from the device and reinstall it again to get it working again.
With DualMessenger, you can connect two different s to your favorite messaging app: Messenger, WhatsApp and others. We tested the system with two WhatsApp s and found no problem at any time.
Bixby voice assistant is always present in Samsung's flagship models and the J6 is the first product in the J-series to receive the assistant. For those who have always been used to other options, such as the Google assistant, for example, know that you don't even need to turn on the South Korean giant's voice assistant. The company could even review its application on some devices, offering the option to remove it from the smartphone.
A Digital TV It had very fast and stutter-free signal capture, both indoors and outdoors. Giving one more option to the boredom of waiting or in the traffic of big cities, like in Rio de Janeiro.
Battery 554u5p
The 3000 mAh battery is a plus point of the device. Since the performance is average, the battery has plenty of breath to last up to 12 hours, even in extreme use throughout the day. If your day starts at 7 am, only at 19 pm will you need a Powerbank or an outlet nearby.
Even spending a lot of time on YouTube or playing games that aren't too heavy, the performance is quite satisfactory for an entry-level model.

Conclusion 60664y
If you want to show that your device has a super infinite screen and follows the design of more expensive models, the Samsung J6 It is indeed a device to think about. But if you're looking for high-performance gaming and a lot of open apps together, run away from the choice fast, even if you find it in the 32 GB version with a current price in the range of R$ 900.
The hardware didn't keep up with the external revamp done on the J6. The market always asks for the best performance and great experience, even in cheaper models. No wonder, Samsung has already noticed this movement and should bring a new model later this year. The J6+ or J6 Prime, we still don't know with what name it will come to Brazil. But we already know that it will have a better battery of 3.300 mAh, two rear cameras, 3 GB of RAM and an even bigger 6-inch screen.
