The inexpensive Samsung Galaxy J3 and J7 are already
available in the United States, but you can only get them from various carriers
in the country. Both devices made their debut on the market recently, but they
are sold under different names, which might confuse consumers.
Samsung has decided to offer
customers the option to purchase either of the two budget-friendly smartphones
from just about any major retailer in the country. The South Korean company
announced that unlocked versions of the Samsung Galaxy J3 and J7 would be
available for purchase on July 28.
The Galaxy J3 will be available for purchase for US$ 149.99 outright, while the Galaxy J7 will cost US$ 219.99. Both can be bought via
major retailers and enterprise distributors, as well as at Samsung.com.
Even though they're on the cheap side, the Galaxy J3
and J7 come with Android 7.0 Nougat on board. The more expensive Galaxy J7 has
a 1.6GHz octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB expandable storage, whereas the
cheaper Galaxy J3 packs a 1.4GHz quad-core CPU, 1.5GB RAM, and 16GB internal
memory.
The Galaxy J7 comes with a larger 5.5-inch HD (720p)
display and a better 8-megapixel primary camera. There's also a 3,300 mAh
battery inside, along with a 5-megapixel selfie snapper on the front.
On the other hand, the Galaxy J3 sports a smaller
5-inch HD (720p) display, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, and battery with
less capacity (2,600 mAh).
