Samsung officially presents the Galaxy J1, the first J series smartphones

After the Galaxy series which was introduced last year, Samsung started in 2015 with two other new family of Android smartphones: Series E (announced earlier this month), and, now, series A. The first member of both the Galaxy J1 (already seen in some images leaked ).

On this day, the Galaxy J1 - SM-J100H model number - Samsung Malaysia presented on the website, so we assume it will be released in the region. Previously, we reported that J1 will be powered by a quad-core 64-bit processor Marvell, but this contradicts the official specs sheet, a list of dual-core processor 1.2 GHz instead of make unknown.

J1 is the entry-level smartphone with a 4.3-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display, dual SIM capabilities, and Android 4.4 KitKat on board. It has a 5 MP camera with LED flash on the back, and a 2 MP snapper on the front (this one assisted by Palm selfie function that detects motion and lets you take selfies using hand gestures).

The new Galaxy offers 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 1850 mAh removable battery that should be able to provide up to 10 hours of talk time. Ultra Power Saving mode is also available. Weighing 122 grams and measuring 129 x 68.2 x 8.9 mm, Galaxy J1 comes in three color versions: blue, black, and white.

The lack of a press release (or something like that) on the Galaxy J1 may indicate that Samsung does not intend to launch the handset too much market - although we know that, apart from Malaysia, to be released in Russia. We assume we will know more about this soon.
