Samsung Philippines has finally made the selfie-centric Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 available here in the Philippines carrying a ₱9,990.00 price tag.
It boasts a 5MP front camera with its own dedicated LED flash accompanied by decent specs. What’s interesting though is its unusual amount of RAM at one and a half gigabytes.
The Samsung Galaxy J5 has all the usual Samsung goodies such as a Super AMOLED display measuring 5-inches with HD resolution and TouchWiz skin on top of Android Lollipop.
It runs on a quad core processor running at 1.2GHz and has 3G connectivity. There’s 8GB of built-in storage which is expandable up to 128GB.
