This week, quite a few official announcements happened with the Honor 8 arriving with its rumoured 2.5D glass front and back, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max getting their official marching orders in Vietnam while Samsung came out with their Galaxy J Max, Galaxy J2, Galaxy J1 Ace Neo, Galaxy On5 Pro, Galaxy On7 Pro, Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Edition and UFS microSDs. LEAGOO announced their affordable shock-proof metal M5 smartphone for $59.99 (RM237) while Final Fantasy 7 was announced for Android 19 years after it was first released.

With the recent quiet announcement of the Samsung Galaxy J Max, there was another one appearing in South Africa too, called the Galaxy J1 Ace Neo, as a tiny entry-level 4.3-inch smartphone. Below are the tech-specs listed from Samsung South Africa website:

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.
