What processors do Samsung Galaxy J smartphones use?

The Galaxy J series comprises models catering to both the low-end and mid-range markets. Its phones, therefore, are equipped accordingly.

The mid-range models usually have Qualcomm Snapdragon chips at their core.

How is the battery life on Galaxy J phones?

Since the Galaxy J encompasses a wide variety of smartphone models, the battery life varies with the specific model. The bigger phones or the Galaxy J models with ‘Pro’ and ‘Max’ in their names are the ones that won’t disappoint you on the battery front since they typically pack in more than 3000mAh batteries. The J7 Pro, for instance, has a 3600mAh battery. The J7 Max comes with a 3300mAh battery. These battery packs are capable of lasting a full working day if you are a heavy user. If you are a moderate to light user, the phone should last much more than a day on a single charge.
