$7 a month buys you the Samsung Galaxy J3 V at Verizon

Verizon is offering two versions of the Samsung Galaxy J3. The Galaxy J3 V is available on the Verizon Device Payment Plan for just $7 a month. After 24 payments, you will have paid $168 for the handset. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) is being offered for Verizon's pre-paid plans priced at $109.99.

Specs-wise, the difference between the two handsets is that the Galaxy J3 V carries 16GB of native storage compared to the 8GB inside the Galaxy J3 (2016). Otherwise, both models come with a 5-inch Super AMOLED display carrying a 720 x 1280 HD resolution. The Snapdragon 410 SoC drives the device with a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, and the Adreno 306 GPU. Both models come with 1.5GB of RAM, a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP-front-facing shooter for selfies and video chats. A 2600mAh battery provides the power to run the device, and Android 6.0.1 is pre-installed.

Both models can be purchased starting today from Verizon's online store. If you want to purchase either model from a Verizon store, you'll have to wait until June 23rd.

If you go with the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016), you will need to pick from one of the three tiers available with Big Red's pre-paid plan. All three come with unlimited talk and text. For $30 a month, you will be able to use Wi-Fi only for data. Pay $45 monthly for 1GB of data, and the $60 a month tier comes with 3GB of data.
