Teased: Samsung Galaxy J6 with Nadine Lustre as endorser

If there’s any doubt that the Samsung Galaxy J6 is coming to the Philippines soon, teasers with the hashtag #NextLevelEntertainment should erase that.

An image of the phone is already making rounds on social media, with mostly fans of Filipina actress Nadine Lustre understandably sharing it. After all, their idol is in the photo. It’s obvious that Samsung Electronics Philippines already got Nadine after her stint as an endorser for Motorola.

Just one of the posts teasing the Samsung Galaxy J6 and the Korean tech giant’s new endorser, Nadine Lustre

First launched in India on May 21, the Samsung Galaxy J6 is a toned-down version of the Galaxy J8. The two are the first smartphones in the J series to get an Infinity display, a feature originally reserved for the company’s flagship devices.

The J6’s tall screen measures 6 inches and uses AMOLED technology for a brighter and more vivid picture. At the top of the display is an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f/1.9 aperture and an LED flash. The rear camera, on the other hand, is a 13-megapixel shooter with the same aperture lens and LED flash as the one at the front. Underneath the main camera is a fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung Galaxy J6 features a 3,000mAh battery and Android 8.0 Oreo-based Samsung Experience. Its Exynos 7870 processor is coupled with 3GB and 4GB of RAM and 32Gb and 64GB of built-in storage. In India, the base model is priced at ₹13,990 (around P10,761 or $205) while the variant with higher memory is available for ₹16,490 (P12,684 or $242).

We don’t when the phone’s launch will be. All we know based on the teasers is that it’s coming in June.
