Samsung Galaxy J6+ — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Samsung Galaxy J6+ (also written J6 Plus) is Samsung's 2018 big-screen all-rounder — a 6.0-inch phone with a Snapdragon 450 chip, dual rear cameras, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a 3,300mAh battery. It traded the regular J6's AMOLED screen for a larger LCD and a second camera. Discontinued for years, it trades in Pakistan today only as a used phone — never as a new device. This guide covers its verified specifications, the important J6-vs-J6+ differences, and the honest reality of buying it in 2026.

Design and Build Quality

The J6+ is a big, slim phone — glass front, plastic back and frame, just 7.9 mm thin — and it was Samsung's first phone with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor in the power button, a genuinely convenient placement. At 178 g it's light for a 6-inch phone. Build is standard Samsung mid-range plastic: solid when new, but check a used unit for a loose side button, back-panel creaks, and microUSB port wear. The Red colour variant was the head-turner of the range if you find one.

Display Features

The 6.0-inch IPS LCD at 720 x 1480 (~274 ppi) is the J6+'s biggest compromise versus the regular J6 — Samsung traded the AMOLED panel for size and the dual camera (verified on GSMArena). It's a big, readable screen for videos and browsing at this price, and LCD means no burn-in risk — a real advantage on an 8-year-old used phone. But if a seller promises an "AMOLED J6+," they're describing the wrong phone.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 450 (octa-core 1.4 GHz on 14 nm, Adreno 506) was a solid 2018 budget chip — efficient and notably smoother than the Snapdragon 425 in the J4+. With 3GB or 4GB of RAM, the J6+ handles everyday apps, YouTube, and browsing decently; the 4GB/64GB variant is the one to look for. It's still an 8-year-old budget chip: no heavy multitasking, no demanding games.

RAM and Storage

Two tiers were sold: 32GB+3GB and 64GB+4GB, both with a dedicated microSDXC slot. In 2026, the 4GB/64GB version is strongly preferable — 3GB/32GB works for light use but fills and slows faster. Ask the store which variant its unit is and check Settings > About phone yourself. The dedicated card slot keeps your second SIM and your storage expansion independent of each other.

Camera Features

The dual rear camera pairs a 13MP f/1.9 main sensor (autofocus, LED flash, panorama, HDR, 1080p video) with a depth auxiliary lens — be clear about this: the second camera is for portrait-mode background blur, not a second full camera, so don't expect ultra-wide or telephoto shots. Daylight photos are decent for the class; the f/1.9 aperture helps a little at night. The 8MP front camera (f/1.9) gets an LED flash and records 1080p video — good for video calls. Modest, honest 2018 cameras.

Battery and Charging

The 3,300mAh sealed battery was generous for 2018 and, paired with the efficient 14 nm chip, gave genuinely good endurance when new. Eight years later, test it yourself: check backup time, feel for heat while charging, and watch for sudden percentage drops or swelling. Replacement means a repair shop opens the body. Charging is standard-speed microUSB 2.0 with OTG — no fast charging.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 8.1 Oreo and officially updated to Android 10 — matching the regular J6's software ceiling, which keeps app-compatibility odds reasonable in 2026. But security patches ended years ago. Before buying, install your essential apps (WhatsApp, banking, JazzCash/Easypaisa) on the actual unit and confirm they install, open, and work properly. Android 10 still runs most current apps — verify rather than assume.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE on the common bands works on Pakistani networks, with GSM/HSPA fallback. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS/GLONASS/BDS, stereo FM radio with recording, 3.5mm jack, and microUSB 2.0 with OTG. NFC is market-dependent — check the unit if you need it. Sensors: side fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. The side fingerprint sensor is fast and well-placed — test enrollment on the unit.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The SM-J610 (and regional variants) came in Black, Gray, Red, and Blue in the two RAM/storage tiers. Discontinued years ago; every unit today is used. The essential comparison: J6 = 5.6" AMOLED + Exynos 7870 + single camera; J6+ = 6.0" IPS LCD + Snapdragon 450 + dual cameras + side fingerprint. Neither is "better" outright — the J6 has the better screen, the J6+ the bigger screen and newer unlock placement. Verify the About screen shows SM-J610 and Snapdragon 450.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Galaxy J6+ is listed at Rs. 20,000 on Zohaan Mobile Gallery's product page (verified 2026-10-11) — the highest price in this slice, reflecting its bigger screen and dual cameras. Whether it's worth it depends on the variant (push for 4GB/64GB), battery health, and screen condition. Confirm the current price, exact variant, and 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:

• Big 6.0-inch 18.5:9 display — the largest screen in this slice
• Dual rear cameras (13MP + depth) for portrait shots; 8MP front with LED flash
• Side-mounted fingerprint sensor — fast and convenient
• 3,300mAh battery with an efficient 14 nm chip; up to 4GB/64GB; Android 10 ceiling
• LCD means no burn-in risk on an 8-year-old used phone; dedicated microSD slot

Limitations:

• IPS LCD, not AMOLED — the regular J6's screen is plainly better
• 8 years old — no security updates; 720p resolution
• Second rear camera is depth-only, not a real second camera
• Sealed 3,300mAh battery is aged; check backup and swelling in hand
• Snapdragon 450 is dated; NFC is market-dependent

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: a buyer who wants the biggest screen in this group with Samsung's convenient side fingerprint unlock — for videos, reading, and light daily use, ideally the 4GB/64GB variant. Look elsewhere if: screen quality matters most (that's the AMOLED J6), you need strong performance or cameras, or you want guaranteed app support — compare newer options in the Samsung collection or all mobiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Galaxy J6+ in Pakistan?

Rs. 20,000 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.

Is the J6+ display AMOLED?

No — the J6+ uses a 6.0-inch IPS LCD. The AMOLED display belongs to the regular Galaxy J6.

What is the difference between the J6 and the J6+?

J6: 5.6" AMOLED, Exynos 7870, single 13MP camera, rear fingerprint. J6+: 6.0" IPS LCD, Snapdragon 450, dual cameras (13MP + depth), side fingerprint. Bigger screen and newer unlock on the Plus; better screen on the regular.

Does the second camera do anything useful?

It's a depth sensor for portrait-mode background blur — not an ultra-wide or zoom camera. Manage expectations accordingly.

Does it have a fingerprint sensor?

Yes — side-mounted in the power button, Samsung's first at this price. Test enrollment on the actual unit.

Which variant should I get?

The 4GB/64GB version — noticeably smoother and roomier in 2026 than the 3GB/32GB one.

Is the battery removable?

No — the 3,300mAh battery is sealed. Check its health carefully; replacement needs a repair shop.

Is it available at Zohaan Mobile Gallery?

Check the Galaxy J6+ product page or WhatsApp +92 305 8452080 for current availability and price.

Final Verdict

The Galaxy J6+ is the big-screen, dual-camera Samsung of 2018 — and at Rs. 20,000 used, you're paying for that 6-inch display and the side fingerprint sensor. It's a fair light-use or media phone as the 4GB/64GB variant with a healthy battery. But don't pay an AMOLED premium (it isn't one), and don't expect the second camera to do more than portraits.
