Samsung's upcoming Galaxy J4+ is ditching the physical home button, FCC listing shows
The Galaxy J4 has an outdated design by today's standards
What grabs the attention first, are the software buttons on the bottom of the screenshots. This means that unlike its predecessor, the J4+ won’t have any hardware navigation buttons. Don’t worry though, this won’t leave you with reduced screen real estate. The screenshots show another similarity between the J4+ and Samsung’s more expensive phones, besides the same software buttons. It appears that the device is also getting a display with the same aspect ratio as the Galaxy S9 – 18.5:9. This will likely mean thinner bezels and significantly improved screen-to-body ratio, a welcomed feature in a budget phone.
Not surprising is that the J4+ will support two SIM cards, something its smaller brother does as well. Something interesting, however, can be found under the “Biometrics and security” menu: Face Recognition. Not a common feature on cheaper phones, but then again, we don’t know the price at which this phone will hit the market. However, considering the J4’s price tag (currently around $150 on Amazon), the bigger model shouldn’t cost much.
There’s currently no information about the release date, but with the FCC passed, it shouldn’t be long before we see more of it, likely coming straight from Samsung.
