Background and Identification

The Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt (also called the J1 mini) is an Android smartphone released by Samsung Electronics in February 2016. The J1 mini was succeeded by the J1 mini prime (also called the Galaxy V2) in December 2016. The J1 mini includes models SM-J105F, SM-j105H, SM-J105H, SM-J105B, SM-J105Y, SM-J105M, which are technologically identical but sold in different regions with different carriers.

The Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt features a 4.0-inch display with a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. It includes Hybrid Dual SIM capabilities with Micro-SIM cards, meaning it can contain two different SIM cards and operate with one while the other is in standby. The Galaxy J1 mini was released with 8 GB of internal storage and 768 MB of RAM (J1 mini) or 8 GB of internal storage and 1 GB of RAM (J1 Nxt). It includes a 5-megapixel main camera and a VGA selfie camera (VGA cameras are equivalent to 0.3 megapixels). The Galaxy J1 Nxt contains a 1500 mAh removable battery, meaning its battery's adhesive is not permanent, making repair and replacement easier than for non-removable batteries.

The J1 Nxt was released in white, gold, and black body colors. Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt phones include the name “Samsung” in capital letters in the center of their backing and in the center of the phone’s front top bezel. The phone’s main camera is located directly above the Samsung name and the LED flash is located to the left of the camera. The J1 Nxt includes an elongated ovular home button with straight sides as well as a back button with an arrow symbol on the right side of the bottom bezel and a show-all-open-applications button with one rectangle overlapping another on the left side of the bottom bezel.
