Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016)
RM 625.00
Price last checked: 7 Dec 2018. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM625, putting it firmly in budget territory. The 5.0-inch Super AMOLED screen is the standout feature at this price point, running at 720 x 1280 pixels with roughly 294 ppi, which gives sharper colours and contrast than the LCD panels typical of this segment.
Under the hood you get a quad-core chipset (Exynos 3475 or Spreadtrum SC9830 depending on variant) paired with 1.5GB RAM and either 8GB or 16GB storage. That's tight by modern standards, but a dedicated microSD slot lets you add up to 256GB more. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop runs the show.
Camera-wise, the 8MP rear sensor with LED flash and autofocus handles daylight shots fine, while a 2600mAh removable battery keeps things running. Dual SIM support and Wi-Fi Direct round out a spec sheet built for basic daily use rather than heavy multitasking.
