Samsung's affordable Galaxy S Duos 3 runs KitKat, offers low-end features

After the Galaxy S Duos from 2012 and the Galaxy S Duos 2 from 2013, Samsung is now getting ready to launch the - you guessed it - Galaxy S Duos 3 (model number SM-G313HU). It looks like at least one Indian retailer is already selling the Samsung Galaxy S Duos 3, asking about $130 (7,999 INR) for it. However, Samsung has yet to list the smartphone on its official Indian website.

The main difference between the new handset and the S Duos 2 from last year is the fact that the former runs Android 4.4 KitKat. Beyond that, it’s pretty much the same entry-level, dual-SIM device. Its features include: a 4-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, VGA front-facing camera, 5 MP rear camera with LED flash, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 1500 mAh battery. The smartphone is powered by a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor of unknown provenience, and offers support for 14 regional (Indian) languages.

We don’t know when Samsung intends to release the Galaxy S Duos 3 in other countries. In any case, the handset will probably be available in other emerging markets pretty soon.
