The 2016 edition of the Samsung Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 handsets recently went through Bluetooth SIG certification, meaning that the two devices will roll out soon.
It is no secret that the first edition of Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 was a success, marking Samsung's dedication to developing markets. The two smartphones hit the shelves in the summer of last year.
This year's Galaxy J5 and J7 appeared in vast number of leaks, the latest of which indicates that the phones passed through the Bluetooth SIG page. The J5 and the J7 were sent for certification at the beginning of 2016, which means that they will be market-ready in a few months.
The initial J5 and J7 came out in June 2015, and there are reasons to believe Samsung will give its customers one year between the new models arrive.
Looking at the rumored specs, the Galaxy J5 (2016) will probably host a 5.2-inch display capable of 720p resolution. It will take processing power from a four-core Snapdragon 410 CPU and 2 GB of RAM. Galaxy J5 (2016) should have a camera combo made of a 5-megapixel front selfie snapper and a 13-megapixel main camera on its back. The videos and photos that users will take will find their place in the 16 GB of storage of the device.
Specs of the Galaxy J7 (2016) are slightly more powerful. The phone purportedly features a 5.5-inch screen that displays 1080p resolutions, 2 or 3 GB of RAM and a formidable 4,300 mAh battery. There are two possibilities when it comes to the CPU of the J7: either it will be a Snapdragon octa-core or the new Exynos 7870 processor from Samsung. Some insider information points at the possibility that the device will sport a fingerprint sensor.
The Galaxy J5 and J7 from previous benchmarks show Android 5.1.1 as well as Android 6.0.1. Seeing how the devices could enter stores in June 2016, we might see Android Marshmallow loaded on them from the get-go.
If the two new models will take notes from the sleek design of the Galaxy J3 and will offer bang for the buck, Samsung might set a powerful foothold in up-and-coming markets.
As soon as we have more details about the affordable devices from Samsung, we will let you know.
