The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) is a 5-incher handset that sports an HD resolution on its Super AMOLED display. The rest of the specification is underwhelming including a quad-core Spreadtrum SC8830 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. On the bright side, there’s a pretty standard 5MP selfie camera and an 8MP primary shooter.

errr is that an official pricing? because it doesn’t look like one.

disregarding other brands and even just comparing it with an existing Samsung phone from the official retail shop, that seems like a very bad pricing from Automatic Centre.

Samsung Galaxy J5 from last year has a better camera and probably a better CPU/GPU and it costs the same

You can buy a 4-5k priced phone with even better specs. Don’t bother with this.
