Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) shows off a relatively slim plastic body, coming in at 7.9mm thick. While to an extent it looks like some other Samsung phone in its range, it is set apart in a way by the two-colour design of the front section.

The phone sports a sharp 5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This touchscreen should enhance the excitement when gaming or watching movies.

Camera and Storage

For image capturing, the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) rocks an 8-megapixel or 5-megapixel sensor on the rear, depending on markets. This is accompanied by a 5-megapixel or 2-megapixel front-facing snapper for selfies.
