Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) with S Bike mode


Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) is launching in India with a new S Bike feature. It's a sort of Do Not Disturb feature that prevents unwanted distractions while riding a bike. The feature is enabled using the included NFC tag and will handle incoming calls.

Normally, the Galaxy J3 won't show any notifications so as not to disturb the rider. It will play a message, explaining that the phone's owner is riding a bike and can't answer. If it's an emergency, the caller can press 1 and the call will go through. You still can't answer the call - Motion Lock makes sure you're completely stationary before the phone lets you answer.


The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) features a 5" Super AMOLED screen (720p), quad-core processor with 1.5 GB of RAM, LTE and dual-SIM connectivity, plus a 2,600 mAh battery. The phone has two cameras - 8 MP/1080p on the back and 5 MP on the front.

The J3 is available right now for INR 9,000 (US$ 135/€ 120).
