Just a few days after Samsung went official with the Samsung Galaxy E5 and E7 (E Series), and also officially announced the super-slim Samsung Galaxy A7 (A Series), we’re now getting our first look at the first member of new Samsung J Series – the Samsung Galaxy J1. This is most probably a smartphone targeted at the lower mid-range to budget market.
The phone will be sporting a 64-bit Marvell 1.2Ghz quad-core processor supported by 1GB or RAM and 4GB internal storage. The device will have a 4.3-inch WVGA (800×480) display – some industry hacks are thinking if Samsung will still utilize its patented AMOLED technology here. We’re thinking not, as it looks like the South Korean gadget giant will have to skimp on the display to keep the price point down.
Sam Mobile is saying that the budget phone will come in four variants – single SIM and dual SIM LTE, and also single SIM and dual SIM 3G. At least those who will be considering this model will have the choice of LTE connectivity. The power consumption of the phone is a bit low that the 1,800mAh battery should be able to take it.
The phone will reportedly have a 5MP/2MP camera combo, and will feature a premium feature in the “Ultra Power Saving Mode” that usually is found in Samsung’s high-end line. The Galaxy J1 will come with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. If compared to the previous low cost, budget-friendly phones from Samsung like the Galaxy Y and others in that mold, we’re thinking the Samsung Galaxy J1 would probably give users better experience. But we’ll have to wait and see when it becomes official. Something tells us this will be very soon.
