Samsung Galaxy J6
Samsung Galaxy J6 is a budget range offering from Samsung and is designed with many great features and good specifications. Samsung Galaxy J6 is the entry level device and is priced at about Rupees 11500 for the 3GB/32GB variant and Rupees 12900 for the 4GB/64GB variant.
The Samsung Galaxy J6 has a 5.6 inch Super AMOLED display which is good and you can see good color reproduction on the screen and the blacks look good. The sunlight brightness is good with the brightness turned to full and one can easily see the display.
The camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy J6 is a single camera at the rear and a single selfie camera in the front. The single rear camera has a 13 MP lens with an aperture size of f/1.9. The rear camera takes decent pictures but the colors are a bit dull and washed out and this stands out even more due to the Super AMOLED screen. Even close-up shots are drab and the picture quality leaves you unsatisfied. The front camera has a 8MP lens with an aperture size of f/1.9 and the selfies are just okay enough when taken in the natural light of the day and not good enough in low light conditions of the night.
The Samsung Galaxy J6 has a Exynos 7870 Octa chipset with Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and a Mali-T830 MP1 graphics chipset for the performance of this device. The device runs most of the apps easily but multiple apps make the device to stutter and slow down. The 3GB RAM is sometimes insufficient and there is lag when running heavy games and apps like PUBG etc.
Samsung Galaxy J6 has a 3000mAh battery which is not user replaceable can easily last for a day and a half with average usage on a full charge and about a day with heavy usage. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge the device from 0 to 100.
The Samsung Galaxy J6 is available in Black, Gold and Blue color variants.

The Ultimate Review
Samsung Galaxy J6 is a device that has many good features for the price range it is being offered. The Super AMOLED display and the 3GB RAM are some of those.
The camera on the device clicks average pictures in natural light with the colors looking a bit dull and washed out and the night photography suffers a lot due to low light conditions.
The performance of the device is not great but above average and runs most apps without lag but suffers when running heavy apps and displays frame drops.
Buy this device only if you want to have a Samsung device in your pocket otherwise there are much better options available in the market from Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Asus, Realme etc.
