hopefully, someone asked for the model number since J5 2016 has a lot of variants. We will know the exact specs like the chipset if ever we know the exact model number. Anyway, I think, specs wise, ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 S is better and cheaper. Heck, even J5 2015 is better than J3 and they have the same price.
