Not too long ago, we saw some leaked specifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) on Geekbench, hinting at the launch of the handset.
Recently, the alleged Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) with model number SM-J327P passed through the FCC which is usually the last stop before the handset is officially launched.
Majority of information on the FCC was preserved due to the confidentiality application from the Korean company, but it did mention the model number of the handset.
Expected Specifications and Features
Previous rumors suggest that Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) is expected to come with a 5-inch display, which is a standard size for a mid-range smartphone, providing a good balance between usability and screen real estate. The processing is handled by a 1.4Ghz Snapdragon 430 processor paired with 2GB of RAM. This combination should offer decent performance for everyday tasks such as browsing, social media, and light gaming.
The handset is also equipped with a 2,600 mAh battery, which should provide enough power to get through a typical day of use. Additionally, it ships with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow pre-installed out of the box. While this is not the latest version of Android, it still offers a solid user experience with features like Google Now on Tap, Doze mode for better battery life, and improved app permissions.
Additional Features and Launch Information
In terms of storage, the Galaxy J3 (2017) is expected to come with 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot. This is a useful feature for users who need more space for apps, photos, and videos. The camera setup is rumored to include an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera, which should be sufficient for casual photography and video calls.
Connectivity options are likely to include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The handset may also feature a dual-SIM variant, which is popular in many markets for users who need to manage two phone numbers on a single device.
There’s no word about the exact launch date of the handset, but it should launch very soon since it has passed through the FCC. The FCC certification is often one of the final steps before a device is released to the market, indicating that the Galaxy J3 (2017) could be available in the coming weeks.
Samsung has a history of launching its J-series smartphones in various markets around the world, so it’s likely that the Galaxy J3 (2017) will be available in multiple regions. The J-series is known for offering good value for money, making it a popular choice among budget-conscious consumers.
We’ll update you as soon as we get any other information about the launch of the handset. Keep an eye on official announcements from Samsung and other reliable sources for the latest updates.
