Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy J3, a new budget Android smartphone next year, which showed up several months back despite the lack of announcements. The attention rose after it was certified in China last May.

The phone is reportedly being tested, which brings the good news that it may get launched pretty soon. This new phone, carrying model number SM-J327V, has been spotted on Indian export import website Zauba.

As per Zauba's listing, the Galaxy J3 (2017) carries a price tag of 6,843 or approximately $100, and features a 5-inch AMOLED display. However, there is no other information available about its specs.

Additionally, this upcoming entry-level phone is powered by 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, which does fine for a budget phone, 2GB RAM, and perhaps 8GB internal storage. It is guessed to carry 8-megapixel rear with LED flash and 5-megapixel front camera.

It is also expected to run on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, according to TENAA listing. However, we can still be optimistic about Samsung's approach to a newer version.

The Galaxy J3 (2017) will be available in two versions: one with 1080p Full HD and the other with 720p HD display. The latter phone is liable to be launched in developing markets; rest of world might enjoy the better international version.

The battle of the flagship, as well as budget devices, is on, and Samsung looks all braced up for it, and so are its competitors. Watch out for this space as we keep on updating you with more news on the most recent gadgets.
