14 DAY TRIAL // Last month, we reported that Samsung was working to introduce a new notification LED system on its smartphones. We now know that Smart Glow will be featured on the company's Galaxy J2 (2016), set to launch next week, since there are leaked images of the upcoming device with the notification on the back.
Samsung is expected to feature the Smart Glow on multiple upcoming handsets, but it seems that the company has picked Galaxy J2 (2016) to be the first to have such a LED notification system. So you might want to know that images of the phone’s front and back have surfaced at SamMobile.
The pictures show a gold color variant of the Galaxy J2 (2016) with the Smart Glow ring around the rear camera lens. The ring is set to light up in different colors depending on functions that were previously assigned. Smart Glow can use different colors for contacts, incoming messages or emails.

In addition, the ring can alert you if the phone's battery is getting low, but that requires users to make some initial settings. Smart Glow has the capability to indicate weather information, as it can light in different colors depending on the forecast.
Moreover, it will have a function that reads the user's heart rate. One neat feature that Samsung has included on the Smart Glow is the ability to take selfies with the rear camera. Smart Glow takes only a few seconds to detect the user's face and light up in a certain color when the camera is focused and ready to capture the image.
Smart Glow is certainly an exciting feature, and it will come on the Galaxy J2 (2016), said to feature a 4.7-inch display and run 1.5GHz Spreadtrum SC8830 quad-core processor. The smartphone is also expected to come with 2GB of RAM, with internal storage set at 16GB. There's also an 8MP rear camera, coupled with a 5MP one on the front. The handset is set to launch next week in India.
