Samsung is gearing up to launch a new smartphone in the Indian market on March 31st and with the teaser campaign going on with the tag – #TapKickVroom we are expecting it to be a smartphone aimed at Bikers. Samsung is tight-lipped about the phone, but according to the rumors doing rounds the device is expected to be the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016).
Samsung is running a contest as well and will be selecting three lucky winners through lucky draw who will win the phone for free. The Galaxy J3 is already available in US at a price of $179 and the specifications of the device are also available.
Specifications of Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016):
- Display: 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution
- Processor: 1.2GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon 410
- RAM and Storage: 1.5GB RAM with 16GB internal storage expandable up to 128GB using microSD card

Samsung is targeting Bike Riders with the tag #TapKickVroom and the Galaxy J3 (2016) will reportedly be having a ‘Bike Mode’ which is a feature to help bikers concentrate on their riding and not get distracted with phone calls. The Bike mode when activated will mute the phone and sends a text back to the caller to call back later.
The Samsung J3 (2016) is expected to be priced around Rs. 7500 to Rs. 8000 in India. We will be updating about the details of the device in a couple of days after the official announcement by Samsung on March 31st. Hope that they add more features to help bikers and not just the call back feature to attract more bikers to like the device and take advantage of it while their riding endeavors.
