Rumors about another low-end Android smartphone made by Samsung emerged about two months ago. We reported to you back in July that Samsung Galaxy J1 Pop might be released on the market as Galaxy J1 Ace.

Today, Samsung silently launched the Galaxy J1 Ace in India where customers can purchase it from brick and mortar stores for just Rs 6,400 outright, which is about $95 or €85.

Even though the smartphone can't be purchased online yet and it's only available in India, we can safely assume the Galaxy J1 Ace will arrive in other countries, too.

When it comes to specs, Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace is a bit disappointing even if it costs less than $100. For example, the smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor and packs only 512MB of RAM.

In addition, it features only 4GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD card slot.

It comes with dual-SIM and 3G connectivity options

Since the smartphone has been made available in India, it will compete with native handset manufacturers, which provide customers with slightly better devices for the same price.

Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace ships with Android 4.4 KitKat operating system right out of the box. It sports a small 4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

On the back, the smartphone features a 5-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus and video recording, while in the front there's a modest 2-megapixel camera for video calls and selfies.

Connectivity-wise, the Galaxy J1 Ace offers both 3G and dual-SIM support, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS with AGPS support. The phone is powered by a 1,800 mAh battery that features Ultra Power Saving Mode.

Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace measures 130.1 x 67.6 x 9.5mm and weighs 128g (battery included). According to a new report, the smartphone is now available for purchase in India in both black and white color options.
