Samsung Galaxy J4+ — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Samsung Galaxy J4+ (also written J4 Plus) is Samsung's 2018 big-screen budget phone — a 6.0-inch handset with the Snapdragon 425 chip, a 13MP rear camera, and a 3,300mAh battery — notable as one of Samsung's first phones with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Discontinued for years, it trades in Pakistan today only as a used phone — never brand-new or box-packed. This guide covers its verified specifications, clears up the common AMOLED confusion, and lays out the honest limits of buying it in 2026.

Design and Build Quality

The J4+ is a tall, slim plastic phone — glass front, plastic back and frame — measuring just 7.9 mm thin. Its party trick was the side-mounted fingerprint sensor in the power button, a first for Samsung at this price in 2018. But GSMArena notes the sensor is region-dependent, so some units don't have it — check the actual phone. The dual Nano-SIM tray keeps a dedicated microSD slot. On a used unit, inspect the side button's click, the microUSB port's fit, and the plastic back for hairline cracks around the camera.

Display Features

Here's the fact sellers get wrong most often: the J4+ has a 6.0-inch IPS LCD — not AMOLED. Samsung reserved the AMOLED panel for the Galaxy J6; the J4+ uses an LCD (verified on GSMArena). At 720 x 1480 (~274 ppi) it is sharp enough for everyday use, with decent viewing angles and adequate brightness for indoor use. If a listing promises an "AMOLED J4+," it's mislabeled — either the seller is confused or the phone is actually a different model.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 425 (quad-core 1.4 GHz, Adreno 308) was entry-level in 2018 and is firmly dated now. With 2GB or 3GB of RAM, the J4+ handles calls, messaging, YouTube, and light browsing — but heavy multitasking and 3D games are beyond it. The 3GB/32GB variant is noticeably smoother than the 2GB/16GB one; if the store's unit is the 2GB version, keep expectations strictly to basics.

RAM and Storage

Samsung sold three combinations: 16GB+2GB, 32GB+2GB, and 32GB+3GB — all with a dedicated microSDXC slot (up to 512GB per regional listings). The store listing doesn't specify which variant its unit is, so ask before paying: the 3GB/32GB version is the one worth having in 2026.

Camera Features

The single 13MP rear camera (f/1.9, 28mm wide, autofocus) with LED flash, panorama, and HDR records 1080p video at 30fps. The f/1.9 aperture was decent for the class and helps a little in low light, but this is a basic 2018 budget camera — daylight shots are fine for sharing, night shots are noisy. The 5MP front camera (f/2.2) also gets an LED flash, which genuinely helps night selfies and video calls. There is no ultra-wide, no depth sensor, and no stabilization — keep expectations modest.

Battery and Charging

The 3,300mAh non-removable battery was one of the J4+'s selling points. In 2026, surviving batteries are about eight years old: test backup time yourself, watch for swelling or heat during charging, and note sudden percentage drops. Charging is over microUSB 2.0 at standard speeds (no fast charging specified). If the battery is tired, replacement means a repair-shop job — negotiate accordingly.

Software and Updates

The J4+ launched on Android 8.1 Oreo and officially received Android 9 — and updates stopped there, years ago. No security patches, no newer Android. Before buying, install your essential apps — WhatsApp, banking, JazzCash/Easypaisa — on the actual unit and confirm they install, open, and keep working. Don't take a seller's word for app compatibility on an Android 8/9 phone in 2026.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Full 4G LTE support on Pakistani networks, plus GSM/HSPA fallback. Wi-Fi is 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot; Bluetooth 4.2; positioning via GPS, GLONASS, and BDS. You get a stereo FM radio with recording, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microUSB 2.0 with OTG, and NFC on some markets (market-dependent — verify on the unit). Sensors are basic: accelerometer and proximity on most units, with gyro and compass only in some regions.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The J4+ (SM-J415F, SM-J415FN, SM-J415G and siblings) came in Black, Gold, Pink, and Blue. It was discontinued in 2019; every unit in Pakistan now is used. Naming traps: the J4 Core is the Android Go version (1GB RAM, 8MP camera — a lesser phone), and the J6 is the AMOLED sibling (Exynos 7870 — a better phone). If a "J4+" shows an AMOLED screen or 1GB RAM in its About screen, it's mislabeled.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Galaxy J4+ is listed at Rs. 17,000 on Zohaan Mobile Gallery's product page (verified 2026-10-11). As a used phone, the fair price depends on condition, battery health, and which RAM/storage variant the unit is — the 3GB/32GB version justifies more than the 2GB/16GB one. Confirm the current price, the exact variant, and the unit's condition with the store before buying.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model. Before paying, send the phone's IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status — how to check PTA approval. Also match the IMEI in settings against the one on the device.

Warranty: Zohaan Mobile Gallery gives a 7-day check warranty on used phones — speaker/ringer claims only; no claim for LCD/touch, dead/display, or camera/screen faults, no claims over phone calls, same handset only, and void on water damage, breakage, opening, or unauthorized repair. Confirm the exact terms on the unit before paying.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Large 6.0-inch 18.5:9 display — good for media and reading at this price
• 13MP f/1.9 rear camera was strong for the 2018 budget class
• 3,300mAh battery; dedicated microSD slot plus dual SIM
• Side-mounted fingerprint sensor (on units that have it); front LED flash; FM radio
• Up to 3GB/32GB variant exists — meaningfully better than the 2GB base

Limitations:

• IPS LCD, not AMOLED — don't pay an AMOLED premium for this model
• Snapdragon 425 is slow by 2026 standards; 2GB variants struggle
• Android 8.1/9 with no security updates; app compatibility must be verified
• Sealed ~8-year-old battery — check backup and swelling in hand
• Fingerprint sensor and NFC are region-dependent, not guaranteed

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: a buyer who wants the biggest screen Samsung offered at this budget tier for videos, reading, and calls — as a secondary phone or light-use daily driver, ideally the 3GB/32GB variant. Look elsewhere if: you need smooth multitasking or gaming, want an AMOLED display (that's the Galaxy J6), or rely on apps that may have dropped Android 8/9 — verify your must-have apps on the unit first. Compare alternatives in the Samsung collection or all mobiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Galaxy J4+ in Pakistan?

Rs. 17,000 listed (used) on Zohaan Mobile Gallery's product page, verified 2026-10-11. Confirm the current price, exact variant, and condition with the store before buying.

Does the Galaxy J4+ have an AMOLED display?

No — this is the most common misconception. The J4+ uses a 6.0-inch IPS LCD. The AMOLED model in this family is the Galaxy J6.

What is the difference between the J4+ and the J4 Core?

The J4+ is the better phone: 2–3GB RAM, 13MP camera, side fingerprint option. The J4 Core is the Android Go edition with 1GB RAM and an 8MP camera.

Does it have a fingerprint sensor?

On most markets, yes — side-mounted in the power button. But GSMArena notes it's region-dependent, so verify it on the actual unit.

How much RAM and storage does it have?

Three variants were sold: 16GB+2GB, 32GB+2GB, and 32GB+3GB — all with a dedicated microSD slot. Ask the store which one its unit is.

Will my apps work on Android 8.1/9 in 2026?

Many will, but not all — app developers keep raising minimum requirements. Install and test your essential apps on the actual unit before paying.

Final Verdict

The Galaxy J4+ is the big-screen budget Samsung of 2018 — and it still does that one job: a large 6-inch display, decent 13MP camera, and big battery for light use. At Rs. 17,000 used, it only makes sense as the 3GB/32GB variant in good battery health, with your essential apps verified working. Don't pay extra for a promised "AMOLED" (it isn't one).
