A 5.0-inch Super AMOLED screen is the standout here, giving colours more punch than the usual budget LCD panel at this price point. Under the hood is an Exynos 7570 Quad chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, enough for basic apps and messaging but not much multitasking headroom. There's a microSD slot if you need more room, supporting cards up to 256GB.
The 13MP rear camera with f/1.9 aperture handles daylight shots decently, and it comes with HDR and panorama modes for extra flexibility. A 5MP front camera covers selfies. NFC is onboard too, which is handy for contactless payments, something not every phone in this segment offers.
Battery capacity sits at 2400mAh and it's removable, a feature increasingly rare on newer phones. Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) price in Malaysia starts from RM700, running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. It's set for an August 2017 release in White, Black, and Gold.
