The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) variant has finally landed. As stated in a report by Gadgets 360, the device has been launched in India already and comes with a price tag of Rs. 8,990 ($135/€120). For those who are interested to grab one, it will be available exclusively via Snapdeal.

As for the specs and features of the smartphone, Technology Personalized detailed that it comes with a unique offering that every biker may want to have. The Galaxy J3 (2016) is equipped with the S Bike mode feature which helps bikers in managing calls and other notifications that they receive while on the go. It functions by muting the phone while sending a preset automate message that callers would get to inform that the user is currently unavailable to take calls.

But it doesn't just shoo away calls especially if it's an important one. The feature will allow callers to press 1 which will end their call up in white listing and giving the user an alert about it. And to activate the S Bike mode, one will only need to tap the phone on the NFC tag which is usually placed on the bike's fuel tank. This will alert callers that the user is currently riding the bike. Through this new feature, bikers can concentrate on the road while driving and will have a seamless riding experience.
