Samsung has taken the wraps off two new phones in the Galaxy J series. The Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ were unveiled today without any fanfare. Both phones share a number of key features but also have some major differences.

Galaxy J6+

The Galaxy J6+ has a 6.0” HD+ screen with a 720 x 1480 resolution. It is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz. Samsung didn’t mention the exact chipset but adds that it may differ with respect to markets.

The Galaxy J6+ is the first Samsung phone with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. From the images provided, the fingerprint scanner should be easy to reach. The power button, on the other hand, might be a bit difficult since it is closer to the top. The volume buttons are on the left along with the SIM tray.

The phone has a MicroUSB port, Bluetooth 4.2, and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for connectivity. NFC is market dependent. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 3,300mAh battery. It is available in black, silver, and red.

Samsung is preparing to announce a couple of mid-range phones soon. Among them is the Galaxy J6 Prime (or J6+) and photos of a dummy model along with specs have shown up online.

The Galaxy J6 Prime isn’t a flagship but it will be one Samsung phone to remember thanks to its design, or to be more specific – the position of its fingerprint scanner. Samsung devices have their fingerprint scanners on the front or rear of the phone but the Galaxy J6 Prime will be the first to have the scanner on the side just like some of Sony’s own phones or Meizu’s M6s.

The photos show the scanner is on the right side of the phone where you will normally find the power button or volume rocker of a lot of phones. The power button is still on the right but is now closer to the top. The volume controls sit on the left.
