Seeing how Chinese Android OEMs are slowly trying to revive the large phablet segment, Samsung is reportedly working on a giant phoneblet dubbed the Galaxy J Max. The device is rumored to sport a 7-inch display, but it isn't going to be marketed as a tablet. It is actually going to come with dual-SIM card slots and offer support for GSM, HSDPA, and 4G LTE networks. Quite clearly, Samsung wants consumers to look at the J MAX as a cross between a phone and a tablet.
This isn't the first time that Samsung is rumored to launch a 7" phoneblet. In 2014, it was rumored that Samsung would launch the Galaxy Mega 2 with a 7-inch HD display. While the Galaxy Mega 2 launched with a 6-inch display stead, the rumored 7-inch device ended up being launched in South Korea as the Galaxy W. So if the Galaxy J MAX is indeed arriving soon, it definitely won't be the very first Galaxy phoneblet with a 7" display.
Sadly, Evan Blass hasn't divulged any other info regarding the Galaxy J MAX, apart from the leaked image. However, going by the leaked image, it doesn't look like the Galaxy J Max is going to be very impressive in the hardware department. It is most likely going to be very similar to the 2016 Galaxy J-series in terms of specs, with a 1080p or even a 720p resolution display. It isn't expected to be a premium device in terms of build either, as the leaked image seems to suggest that the phoneblet is going to feature a polycarbonate back.
No word on the release date either, but it doesn't look like the phablet is going to made official soon, as it is yet to crop up on any certification agency website. We can only hope to find out more about the Galaxy J3 MAX in the coming weeks.
What do you guys think of the Galaxy J3 Max? Would you be willing to spend your money on a phoneblet with a 7-inch display?
