Thanks to Samsung Mobile Malaysia we managed to get some hands-on time with the new Galaxy J1 2016, Galaxy J5 2016 and Galaxy J7 2016. Priced respectively at RM449, RM849 and RM1049, the new Galaxy J 2016 series was launched yesterday and will be available today alongside the already available Galaxy J3 2016 which is priced at RM649.

Here are the tech specs and hands-on pics:

Featuring a plastic body, the 4.5-inch Galaxy J1 2016 feels light and comfortable with a reasonably solid build. While the back is plastic, it feels solid and has a shiny metallic looking matte backplate. It looks very much like the Galaxy J3 2016 we've seen earlier.

Going for a metal frame, the slightly larger Galaxy J5 2016 offers up a more robust build with seamless build. Design is similar to the Samsung Galaxy A 2016 series due to the side curve of the frame but with a slightly larger 5.2-inch display. The back plate is plastic but feels somewhat like ceramic.

Another metal body design, the phablet-sized Galaxy J7 2016 is larger and somewhat heavier. Like the Galaxy J5, it does not stray too far from the Galaxy A 2016-like design but does manage to pack in more features. Unlike the matte back of the Galaxy J5, the Galaxy J7 2016 has a metallic brushed metal back that looks more premium.
