Today June 23, 2016, Samsung Philippines launch "Designed For The Philippines" Galaxy J5 2016 and Galaxy J7 2016! Not long ago, we spotted its availability via Samsung concept Stores but Now they come with Filipino Inspired Themes and Packaging complimenting their new classy metal frame.
During the launch, Samsung highlighted two unique features of Galaxy J5 2016 an J7 2016 such as Ultra Data Saving Mode and Signal Max. Ultra Data Saving compresses your data usage and so same speed yet less data usage thereby less cost. With Signal Max, you won't have a problem weak reception as the new J series 2016 features Dual Antenna.
The ever popular J Series gets better and is now fitted for Filipino Consumers. Guess Galaxy J5 2016 and J7 2016 will still continue to be best seller in the market.
