First Samsung launched the Galaxy J3 last year and followed it up with an upgraded Galaxy J3 Pro earlier this year. Now, a fresh image leak hints that the successor Galaxy J3 (2017) is set to be unveiled soon.


Prolific tipster Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has shared a press render of the Galaxy J3 (2017) indicating that its launch is imminent. The smartphone's design is synonymous with all Samsung's low-budgeted Galaxy smartphones with a capsule-shaped Home Button at the bottom of the display and capacitive navigation buttons on either side. The power button is seen resting on the right edge, while the volume buttons are housed on the left edge. As the first Galaxy J3 was launched in November last year, it is likely that Samsung will follow tradition and launch the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) in the same timeframe this year as well.
