Samsung has finally unveiled the 2017 iteration of its Galaxy J series in Europe. The lineup includes the Galaxy J3 (2017), Galaxy J5 (2017) and the Galaxy J7 (2017). All three smartphones will be available in two color options of black and gold and are set to go on sale starting this month. The Galaxy J3 (2017) had been launched in the US last month via AT&T but with a different design. This model could be an AT&T exclusive only. However, the new Galaxy J series unveiled is expected to be the global variants and is expected to see a wider release very soon.
This first noticeable change in the 2017 iteration of the Galaxy J series is the design, as reported by AndroidWorld. All three smartphones come in a metal body sporting a Galaxy S7-like look with a vertical camera module. There are two antenna bands in a curved shape placed on the top and bottom part of the Galaxy J5 (2017) and the Galaxy J7 (2017). The Galaxy J3 (2017) differs on the design front a little as its antenna bands extend till the sides of the smartphone. Up front, the physical Home button is accompanied by the capacitive touch buttons on the sides. On the right side, the power button is located while the volume rocker is placed on the left.
In terms of specifications, the Galaxy J3 (2017), Galaxy J5 (2017) and the Galaxy J7 (2017) all run on Android 7.0 Nougat with Samsung’s custom UI on top. The Galaxy J7 (2017) and the Galaxy J5 (2017) feature a fingerprint sensor embedded under the physical Home button. Connectivity wise, the Galaxy J7 (2017) comes with a USB Type-C port while the other two variants feature the microUSB port. There are more similarities between the three smartphones, but a detailed look will give a better idea on what each smartphone brings on the table.
