Screen

The difference between him and AMOLED-display flagships significantly, but in comparison with the Samsung Galaxy J2 display progress there.

The front facing camera is also good – fair 5 MP, and with its own flash. It works better than the “flash screen” (when the display for a short time becomes white), so worthy selfie obtained. By the way, you can turn the flash on and talk on Skype or other video chat at night, even under a blanket – a trifle, but nice.

We should also mention the firmware application “Camera”. Settings here at least, but in auto-mode, everything works fine. Agree, it is necessary to catch the frame often in a split second, “twist” settings just once. Autofocus in our tests was wrong a few times. Noise occurs when shooting night, but it is a problem of mobile cameras. By the way, the camera is launched from sleep mode by double-clicking on the button “Home”.
