As you may well be aware of by now, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus were recently launched, much to the excitement of many. However, Samsung didn’t stop there with the launches, and it also brought out its mid-range budget friendly Samsung Galaxy J3 Pro in India. The same model had been launched in China in June of last year, and it’s very similar to all other J-series Galaxy phones that Samsung put out in recent years.
Design and Specs
The J3 Pro looks like all other J-series Galaxy phones, with frames with a metal finish. It has a home button, which has been the standard for Samsung smartphones until the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. However, the most exciting feature it brings it its S bike mode, which allows for a handsfree function that comes particularly in handy for bikers.
The catch about the budget-friendly installments in the Galaxy line is that they lag behind their superior siblings in terms of specs and overall technology used.
The J3 Pro runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which is kind of outdated compared to the current version of Android 7.1.2 Nougat that more advanced phones are receiving. It has a 1.5GHz Spreadtrum quad-core processor functioning on 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage. The J3 Pro does offer SD-support for up to 128GB.
As far as the camera goes, it’s also kind of outdated, with just 8MP in the back and 5 in the front. However, the photos it takes are of good quality overall.The phone is powered by a 2600 mAh battery and comes in Black, White and Gold. All in all, it’s a pretty decent phone for its price of Rs. 8490. If it’s worth buying or not is up to you to decide.
