Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 800 chipset, a Quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 setup paired with Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB RAM. That was flagship-level muscle when this phone launched in December 2013. The 5.0-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at full HD (1080 x 1920), giving a sharp ~441 ppi pixel density, and storage comes in at 16GB with microSD support up to 64GB if you need more room.
The rear camera is a 13MP unit with autofocus, LED flash, and HDR, plus it can shoot 2160p video. Front-facing duties go to a 2MP camera for video calls. A 2600 mAh battery handles the power side, and it ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, upgradable to KitKat. Samsung Galaxy J price in Malaysia starts from RM999, and it's available in White or Pink.
Connectivity covers NFC, infrared, GPS with GLONASS, and LTE Cat4 speeds up to 150 Mbps download, rounding out a spec sheet that was built to compete at the top end for its time.
