The Galaxy J5 turns things down a bit with a 5.2-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM, the same octa-core processor, 13MP cameras, and a 3,000mAh battery. It, too, runs Android 7 and will cost €279 when it launches in Europe this month.

Finally, as we’ve previously seen, the Galaxy J3 sports a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM, a 1.4GHz Exynos 7570 octa-core processor, 16GB of expandable storage, a 13MP rear camera and 2MP front shooter, and a small 2,400mAh battery.
