The FCC documents reveal that Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J3109 has been tested and passed the tests for 2G, 3G, as well as 4G LTE connectivity.

Same as its launch date, the specs and features of this handset have not been confirmed yet. However, the multiple rumors about it that made it online so far mention the following:

• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC with Adreno 306 graphics

• Display: 5-inch multitouch
• Cameras: 5 MP front, 8 MP back

Although the import documents that revealed its arrival to India for testing mentioned a price per unit of roughly $100 USD, the Galaxy J3 might hit the market priced around $150 USD. The Galaxy J2, its predecessor, has been launched in India back in September for about $130 USD.
