On Monday, the long-rumored Galaxy J3 (2017) in a series of leaked press renders, and now the Chinese variant of the handset has been spotted on the Wi-Fi Alliance’s online database.
As you’d expect, the listing doesn’t cast a light on any of the device’s internals, but it does reveal something else that’s particularly interesting: the submitted for testing was running Android 7.1.
Why’s this interesting, I hear you ask? Well, all of Samsung’s other Nougat-touting smartphones — like the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ — are still on Android 7.0.
What this essentially means is if the Galaxy J3 (2017) ships running Android 7.1, there’s a good chance Samsung will bring the build to other handsets in the not-too-distant future.
Seeing as Samsung typically launches all of its J series smartphones in China first, it’s possible that the and will also come with Android 7.1 preloaded.
According to , the Galaxy J3 (2017) will feature a 5-inch display, a 1.4GHz Exynos 7570 CPU, 2/3GB of RAM, 16/32GB of expandable storage and a 2,600mAh non-removable battery.
