After seeing the recent onslaught of affordable Lumias, Samsung has jumped in the opportunity to counter them esp. in emerging economies by introducing phones like J1 and Galaxy V Plus. The device is a successor of Galaxy V and packs dual-SIM connectivity and Android 4.4 KitKat at $82.

Samsung recently released low-end smartphone, Galaxy V Plus, is selling at $82

It is low-end phone so the name does not make sense as what Plus is forinitially . The Galaxy V Plus has a 4-inch 480 x 800px screen. It runs on a dual-core 1.2GHz processor carrying just 512MB RAM. If you think the RAM is not enough, the available storage is just 2GB. But surely you have happy microSD slot too. The camera department does not have much up gradation, a 3MP shooter with 480p video and a 480p selfie camera. Zero change in connectivity, DualmicroSIMs, 3G data speeds and Wi-Fi b/g/n. The battery maintains same capacity 1,500mAh. I still doubt what is this Plus for.

While priced at $82 the Samsung Galaxy V Plus is targeted directly at the likes of Lumia 435.
