Currently basking in the glory of its most recent flagships, the S8 family, Samsung has quietly launched another smartphone called the Galaxy J3 Prime exclusively in the US market for now.

The device in question is a variant of this year’s version of the Galaxy J3, which is yet to be out by the company. Apart from minor upgrades, this year’s J3 would also have a few tweaks on the design front, something that is more of a custom rather than anything else.

This is also the same design which is being associated with the J7 Prime is also most probably what all J-series phones in 2017 will look like.

Right now, there’s still speculation regarding the make of the processor that has been put to use with the phone, but it is surely one that has a quartet of cores and clocks in a maximum frequency of 1.3GHz. Furthermore, the processor’s functioning is supported by a 1.5GB RAM.

The inbuilt storage provisions made by Samsung in the Galaxy J3 Prime amount to 16GB, which can be elongated further upon the usage of external sources. The optics the phone comes equipped with include a 5MP camera on the back (with LED flash) and a 2MP one up front for selfies.

For those wishing to buy the phone, but live outside the US periphery, there’s no word out yet as to when they will be able to buy it and, for that matter, how much it be priced at.
