Samsung galaxy J1 could also get one quad core model joining two other versions of the phone

An anonymous tipster familiar with Samsung's plans has revealed that the company plans to release three models of the Galaxy J1 by the end of February.First up is the SM-J100F, which is based on a Marvel Armada Mobile PXA1908 chipset. It packs a quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 CPU, which ought to give the Galaxy J1 a speed bump. This model will be a single-SIM and will support 2G, 3G and LTE.

The SM-J100FN is the same as the aforementioned SM-J100F but will be a dual-SIM version. The third Galaxy J1 variant is the one Samsung already unveiled - based on the Speadtrum chipset and is carrying the model name SM-J100H. It's the most basic of the entire range and comes with only 2G and 3G connectivity.

Finally, there's a word regarding the Samsung SM-J700F, which will be called the Galaxy J7. However, it's too early for the final specification sheet at this point, but an octa-core CPU is quite possible to power the phone in addition to a larger display than the Galaxy J1. The Galaxy J7 will also run Android 5.0 out of the box

EXCLUSIVE: Samsung J1 photos and specs leak

Just as revealed earlier, Samsung is preparing to introduce a new entry-level family of smartphones and its first member is the Galaxy J1. We've been tipped the full list of specifications as well as a photo of the phone. For the most part, they seem to align with the previously leaked informationabout the phone.

The Samsung Galaxy J1 is powered by the Spreadtrum Pike chipset featuring a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A7 and 512MB of RAM. The display of the phone measures 4.3" and has WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels). Internal memory is 4GB and is expandable by another 64GB thanks to the microSD card slot.

At the back, there's a 5MP snapper recording 720p@30fps video as well as an LED flash. A 2MP camera for selfies and video chat sits above the display. The phone is quite compact at 129 x 68.2 x 8.9mm and weighs 130 grams. The battery is 1,850mAh.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 and A-GPS + GLONASS. The Galaxy J1 runs Android 4.4 KitKat and will be available in a dual-SIM version as well. Pricing and availability remain unknown for now, but we reckon it won't be long before the company officially announces the little fella.

Keep in mind that we've no way of verifying the source of the leak and even though both the spec sheet and the image we got seem legit, it may all still end up being an elaborate hoax. So take it with a healthy pinch of salt.
