Samsung seems all set to launch the Galaxy J, the Galaxy S4 smartphone variant that was initially launched only for Japan, in Taiwan on Monday.
Samsung Taiwan has posted a YouTube video that reveals a device which the video depicts as 'just fit, just simple, just elegant, just fast, and just for you'. The letters 'J' in the words 'just' have been stretched to partially outline the Samsung Galaxy J smartphone, also suggesting that the South Korean manufacturer could launch the smartphone in Taiwan.

Further, the teaser video ends with a coming soon tag, with no mention of the launch date. Though, notably at the start of the video posted by Samsung Taiwan, what looks like the Galaxy J is seen with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which shows the December 9 date, also revealing that the Galaxy Gear would be compatible with the Galaxy J. The back of the smartphone in the video is seen with LTE logo branding.

Earlier, the Samsung Galaxy J was spotted on a Taiwanese certification site listing with model number SGH-N075T, prompting global launch rumours.

Recently, another report showed a Samsung invite that read, "Just Arrived" which hinted that the Galaxy J could be launched outside Japan soon. However, apart from the text, the invite featured a smartphone at the background which revealed almost nothing about the upcoming device.

The Samsung Galaxy J was first announced in October this year under NTT DoCoMo's winter smartphone line-up. The smartphone has been seen as a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone variant for Japan; however the device comes with upgraded specifications and software similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet.

The Samsung Galaxy J runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor, much like the Galaxy Note 3 phablet. It features a 5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display. There is a 13.2-megapixel rear camera with BSI CMOS sensor and LED flash, while it also houses a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Galaxy J comes with 3GB of RAM and includes 32GB inbuilt storage expandable up to additional 64GB with the help of microSD card. It packs a 2600mAh battery and comes with connectivity options like 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/A-GPS, and NFC.
