Samsung on Tuesday unveiled its new Galaxy J5 Pro smartphone which is an upgraded variant of the Galaxy J5 (2017). The new handset has been launched in Thailand and is priced at THB 9,990 (roughly Rs. 19,000).
The Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro essentially features bumped up RAM and storage compared to the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) that was unveiled last month.
