History

Being positioned at the mid-range and low-end segments., all models in the series have the essential features of a smartphone, and differ in size and design. The letter J stands for Joy. However, new features are left out or other materials are used, with Samsung targeting Asian markets or the European entry-level market. The models are updated at least annually, minor updates or variants are displayed with name additions such as Pro, Prime, Max, etc.
Despite having a similar name, the original Galaxy J, released in 2013, does not actually belong to the Galaxy J series as this phone was only available in few markets, and also positioned as a "flagship" smartphone, as it was based on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
In September 2018, there were rumors that Samsung will reorganize their smartphone lineup by discontinuing the Galaxy J series along with the online-exclusive Galaxy On in favor of extending the mid-range Galaxy A series to lower-end segment and introducing the Galaxy M series as the new online-exclusive series of smartphones to better compete against Chinese smartphone brands, such as Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Samsung later introduced Galaxy M10 and M20 in January 2019, followed by Galaxy A10, A30, and A50 the following month, and eventually announced that the Galaxy J series has officially merged into the Galaxy A series during the 2019 Galaxy A series launch event in April 2019 held in Thailand.
