Samsung has a bunch of Galaxy J series smartphones
in the pipeline, but none have been officially unveiled yet. We already
reported about the Galaxy J4 and Galaxy J7, which recently popped up in various
benchmarks.
The newest J series smartphone that's been spotted
in a benchmark, the Galaxy J8 has mid-range specs. It is yet unclear when
exactly Samsung will announce these smartphones and how much they will cost,
but these leaks may be an indication the South Korean company plans to launch
them very soon.
We only have Galaxy J8's partial specs since
Geekebnch doesn't store every component inside a device when it's tested. Even
so, we've been able to learn the mid-range handset will be powered by a 1.6GHz
octa-core Exynos 7870 processor, paired with 3GB RAM.
Also, the smartphone runs Android 8.0 Oreo operating
system and goes by model number SM-J800FN. Many of these Galaxy J series
smartphones landed in the United States, though carriers have used different
names to set them apart from the competition. Samsung may use the same strategy
again if it helps the company bring its cheaper smartphones in the US.
