The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016).
This is handset which debuted back towards the close of last year and since then has routinely been noted heading towards other markets including India and Europe. More recently, the handset has made its way over to the U.S. through the likes of Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, as well as becoming available to buy unlocked through Amazon. Now, the latest carrier who has announced they are stocking the Galaxy J3 is Verizon. The company has today announced they are carrying the Galaxy J3 and currently have it priced at $109.99. Prepaid customers can make use of the handset on any of the Verizon prepaid plans including a Wi-Fi only plan which includes unlimited talk & text for $30 per month. For those looking for data plans, the Galaxy J3 can be used against Verizon’s $45 per month plan which comes with 1GB data, as well unlimited talk and text or their $60 per month plan which offers 3GB data, as well as unlimited talk and text.
If you are unsure of what is on offer for the price, then the Samsung Galaxy J3 is a smartphone which comes packing a 5-inch display, which makes use of a 1280 x 720 resolution. Inside the Galaxy J3 comes loaded with 1.5GB RAM and is powered by a 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor.
