Pricing and Expected India Release Date
AT&T will charge you $179.9 (Rs. 11,500 approx.) for an unlocked unit of the Galaxy J3 (2017). However, we presume that the phone will sell at a much lower price in India. As of now, Samsung has not provided us with any specific release date of the handset. Still, we expect the Galaxy J3 (2017) to launch in India within a couple of weeks.
