A new member has joined the J family – the Samsung Galaxy Tab J is a very budget-oriented tablet that is designed for those who wants the size, but not the high pricetag.

It appears that Samsung have also embraced the tablet phone form factor with the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy J Max which comes with a 7-inch 720p HD display (1280 x 800 pixel resolution). Priced at 13400 INR (RM798), other tech specs are similarly lower end with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. We expect it to have the latest 4G LTE dual SIM capabilities as the Galaxy J1 2016 though and it does come with a large 4000 mAh battery.

This week on Weekly TechNave, Samsung Malaysia went entry-level in a big way with the official announcement of their Galaxy J 2016 series. Of note was the Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 priced at below RM450 but packing a free Yes 4G LTE SIM with 30GB of data preloaded for 2 months. Honor Malaysia officially revealed the more powerful and beautiful honor 5C for RM799 while the Xiaomi Mi 5 finally landed in Malaysia for RM1549 at non-online shops.

After the TechNave exclusive pics and tech specs of the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016, Galaxy J5 2016 and Galaxy J7 2016 were revealed, Samsung Malaysia have gone and made it official by sending out invites for the Samsung Galaxy J 2016 series launch in Malaysia. The launch is set to happen on 15 June 2016, confirming earlier reports of the event.

This week Computex started but for most of us, ASUS stole the show with their Zenvolution, announcing the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra. ASUS didn't stop there and also announced their ASUS Transformer 3 2-in-1 laptops and the ASUS ZenBook 3 but their biggest news turned out to be their ZenBo personal robot. Huawei Malaysia started the sale of their Huawei P9 and P9 Lite and subsequently announced the price and release date for the much awaited Huawei P9 Plus and more.

While the title of most tech spec topping device in our books remains the Saygus V2, the recently released HTC J Butterfly 3 is also a very feature-filled as well. While it has been released for just Japan only, in terms of tech specs it packs in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 20MP Duo camera and a 5.2-inch display with 2K or quad HD resolution. It also packs in a 13MP front camera along with up to 32GB microSD, 4G LTE, NFC and WiFi a/b/g/n/ac. Oh, and it is both dust and water proof too. While it comes with a familiar design, the J Butterfly 3 has a plastic body which probably allows it to stay usable underwater. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but since it is tied to a Japanese carrier we doubt that it will be coming to Malaysia any time soon.

Earlier reports may have indicated that Samsung could be reducing the number of devices it has on hand but new rumours indicate that we could soon be seeing some new tablets. This is due to a report saying that the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Samsung Galaxy Tab E and Samsung Galaxy Tab J trademarks have been applied for at the Korean Intellectual Property Office. No news yet whether these are just codenames or if Samsung will be streamlining their Galaxy Tab product range (Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note Pro) to just these three devices. No tech specs or features were mentioned but as usual, do take this rumour with a good pinch of salt or at least until we know more.

HTC and KDDI of Japan recently launched the new HTC J Butterfly smartphone for Japanese markets. The smartphone offers the same design as the HTC One M8 except that it is water-proof and doesn't have dual-front BoomSound speakers or the Ultrapixel Duo camera. Other tech specs and features for the HTC J Butterfly include a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage with microSD support, 5-inch full HD display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, supports 4G LTE and packs in Android 4.4. No specific Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but the HTC J Butterfly will be in Japan from late August 2014 and could eventually come to Malaysia hopefully.

The Samsung Galaxy J was officially launched in Taiwan recently, bearing top tech specs with a metal casing. While it was initially thought to be the Samsung Galaxy S5 thanks to a rather vague teaser video, it does offer a number of tech specs which include those from the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. This includes a 5-inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM and 13MP camera in a casing with a brushed metal backside. Sources indicate that it will be sold from TWD21900 (RM2370) unlocked and can be bought in Red and White. While there is still no news yet about specific Malaysia release dates or pricing, the official Taiwan announcement indicates that we could soon see a more global roll out for this smartphone which was formerly only sold in Japan.

Samsung Taiwan recently revealed a teaser video of what looked to be a metallic Samsung smartphone. Many speculated that this could be the next Samsung Galaxy S5, especially as the metallic looking back seemed to fit with all the rumours of a metal body Galaxy S5. However, it appears that this smartphone is actually the Samsung Galaxy J. Three clues point to this as the use of a capital J in all the phrases such as "Just simple" or "Just for you" all point to the Samsung Galaxy J. The other clue is that the teaser video was released by Samsung Taiwan, supposedly where the Galaxy J will be next unveiled.
