New Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) images show up

Samsung is getting ready to release a new Android smartphone that should be called Galaxy J1 (2016). Obviously succeeding the Galaxy J1 from 2015, the Galaxy J1 (2016) has at least three color versions: black, white, and gold, all of which can be seen below, thanks to renders revealed by @evleaks.

As previously rumored, the new Galaxy J1 is expected to sport a 4.5-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels. This is slightly larger than the 4.3-inch screen of the older J1, but it's still pretty small for today's standards. Size aside, the screen's pixel resolution automatically makes the new J1 a low-end smartphone. It's said that the handset is powered by a quad-core Exynos 3457 processor - which is, probably, Samsung's response to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410. The Galaxy J1 (2016) should also feature 1 GB of RAM, and Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Since the Samsung Galaxy J1 from last year was announced in January, the new model might be officially presented sometime later this month. The original Galaxy J1 was released by Verizon as a prepaid smartphone, so maybe the J1 (2016) will also be available in the US at some point. We'll let you know if that happens.
