This is just a below average camera setup but performs decent considering it’s a tablet camera. Both cameras are good for natural lighting conditions and you cannot expect much if you have need a good camera.

Gaming Performance

Well this device performs average when it comes to gaming. The basic and the mid-level games ran just fine without any issue. But when we tested it with some heavy games, it struggled at high graphic setting, it skipped lot of frames and lagged a lot. Though they were playable with low or medium setting. GTA San Andreas was playable at medium setting but controls lagged a bit. Heating was normal for a specific time but it got increased after few minutes but nothing major.

Benchmark Scores

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy J Max is a good value for money device at INR 13,400. It doesn’t have anything that makes it stand out of the crowd other than its size. The display, the build, the overall specification is good enough considering its a tablet. The one downside of this device is that it still runs on Lollipop knowing that Marshmallow has already been out. Overall it’s a decent tablet and people who are looking for a dependable tablet with decent specification, will find this tablet quite suitable for them.
