Samsung Galaxy J2 Is Your Entry-Level 4G Smartphone Designed To Compress Data!

Just imagine if the Great Wall of China was built entirely out of glass pieces and smartphones, then undeniably a large portion of that wall belongs to Samsung.

Why? Because Samsung has released so many phones in the last 3 years that we have lost count. Yet this Korean company was generous to share the exact numbers while announcing the new Galaxy J2 smartphone.

In fact, Galaxy J2 is the 23rd device flying out of Samsung’s suitcase this year, in the last 9 months. And this is only in India.

It is also the 17th 4G-enabled device from Samsung.

Introducing Samsung J2: An Entry-Level 4G Smartphone!

Samsung Galaxy J2 is a special device for two reasons: one is related to data network, and the other to pricing.

Talking about the data network: Samsung has designed Galaxy J2 to support 4G LTE. And this means faster access to the Internet right from your smartphone.

And what about the price? Samsung calls Galaxy J2 as an “affordable handset” as it is priced at Rs. 8490.

These two factors – data network and price – have become very common in such a competitive mobile industry, and the company understands that.

For that reason, Samsung Galaxy J2 also has a built-in feature that goes by the name UDS and if you didn’t know…

UDS Saves Data Big Time

UDS is Ultra Data Saving. It is a feature created with a single goal in mind: to save your cellular (3G/4G) data.

When UDS is turned ON, you have the power to compress and save your mobile data. Before we go ahead, note that through UDS mode you can:

  • Save data by enabling data optimization.
  • Allow and block individual apps from using mobile data.

Samsung claims that you can save as much as 50% of the 4G data when using the new Galaxy J2. It is possible because of Opera Max, which comes pre-installed with the device.

Opera Max’s data-optimization technology reduces data consumption on images, webpages, videos and audio streams, especially with image-heavy or video apps, such as Instagram, YouTube, Vine, IMDB and Flipboard.

In short: Opera Max takes care of the “saving data” part. And then, for those souls who fear they may use more data, you have the option to play safe by allowing and blocking apps.

Way it works is simple: Just add the apps from the UDS mode (as shown in the blurry screenshot). Once done, only these apps will consume data from your data plans.
