The app then does a visual search of the product, thereby saving the users from doing the same manually.
The app first debuted in the Galaxy On7 Prime and is projected as an intelligent solution for effective online shopping. The app is also relevant given the emergence of mobile as the preferred platform for doing shopping online.
Another interesting feature that the J2 boasts of includes ‘Move to Memory Card’. The feature is aimed to reduce dependence on the phone’s native memory and will shift stuff from the social media apps to external memory cards.
