                The Galaxy J3 (2017), which succeeds last year's Galaxy J3 (2016), drops the Super AMOLED display in favor of a TFT display, but comes with a vastly improved processor as well as increased RAM and storage. It also features higher resolution front- and rear-facing cameras, and a newer version of Android.Jun 7, 2017
