Samsung's current cheapest smartphone, the Galaxy J1, is about to get a new variant in the form of the Galaxy J1 Ace. The device might be launched in India soon as the retail units are already in stock in some brick and mortar stores. The SM-J110H, which we reported about a couple of months ago, might be released in India as the Galaxy J1 Ace. Manish Khatri, an Indian smartphone retailer, has put up a video on his Twitter profile, and it showcases specifications of the device.
It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, and features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and an 1,800 mAh battery with Ultra Power Saving mode. There's a 5-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel secondary camera. It's a dual-SIM smartphone that will retail with a price tag of INR 6,400 (~ $98) but doesn't feature LTE connectivity as it relies on HSPA+ and Wi-Fi b/g/n for connecting to the Internet.

Samsung hasn't announced the Galaxy J1 Ace officially, but we think that the announcement might happen soon as the device is ready for sale. If you want better specifications, you might want to wait for the Galaxy J2, which features a 4.7-inch display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
