Android version and market relevance

Announcement! We need more new products from Samsung. This time these guys announced Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018). This is a smartphone on Android 8 Oreo in 2018.

More detailed characteristics of this smartphone you can see below on the page, and in short we will describe the most important of them. So, firstly, there are no updates for this model the manufacturer does not release, so feel free to search for other smartphones in 2018 and choose from them. And, secondly, Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) unfortunately, it does not support two SIM cards. Therefore, we advise you to look in the catalog all smartphones with 2 sim cards from different manufacturers, not only from Samsung. And thirdly, Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) it does not support work in the fifth generation networks (5G). If this is very important and necessary for you, we advise you to choose any 5G smartphone in our catalog. Next about the screen, the camera and the processor with memory.

Screen, body and battery

The screen Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) is made using the IPS LCD technology, has a diagonal 5 inches. Such a large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case, which has a thickness of 8.9 mm. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 2 600 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

Take photos and videos on smartphone Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) possible on the main camera (8 MP with a regular lens) and on the front camera (5 MP with a regular lens). We tried to group all smartphones in the catalog into segments and this model with such a main camera got in the segment of weak chambers. And today there are a lot of camera phones at affordable prices, which we recommend that you look at.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) is installed 4-core processor on the chipset Exynos 7570 Quad. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 2 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications both on the built-in smartphone memory, and on memory cards microSD up to 256 GB. You are only available 16 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

Price for Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018): buy or not to buy?

So we told about cheap average power smartphone Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) with a large screen, conventional main camera and weak frontal, and still there is a weak battery.

All these characteristics in 2018 may be good, but the time goes by and the smartphone will somehow become obsolete in half a year of the beginning of sales. And by the way, to sell it start in June 2018 at a price of $150. This is the official price from the manufacturer without taxes and fees, so it can differ in each country, and not only for different sellers.

Before you buy Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018), be sure to check out all the photos and video reviews on it, or better still go to the offline store (electronics supermarket) and twist it in your hand. And already then, based on the emotions received from the smartphone, make the decision to buy.

And if Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) is not already sold, when you are reading this text, then do not be upset. We advise you to always visit the page DROID smartphones, where we collect only the most current models on new versions of Android OS.

Budget smartphone Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) with very good performance

The new version of Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) received an IPS screen with a diagonal of 5 inches (for some reason they decided not to use their native Super AMOLED), a quad-core Exynos 7570 processor and just 2 GB of RAM. This «iron» is likely to be enough for ordinary tasks, resource-intensive games are unlikely to be able to work quickly on this device. The amount of internal memory is also not very large — only 16 GB. But it can be expanded with microSD memory cards up to 256 GB. As for the multimedia capabilities of the Galaxy J3 (2018), there is a main camera with an 8 megapixel lens and a f / 1.9 aperture, and the front camera received 5 megapixels with a f / 2.2 aperture. The battery has a capacity of 2 600 mAh.

Sales of Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) will begin this month, and the price starts at $180.
