The midrange Samsung Galaxy J7 has been holding sway as No. 1 in the list of the top 10 trending smartphones of 2015 for a period of seven consecutive weeks as of the third week of November.
An update to the list for the last week of November and the first week of December 2015 has yet to be released, but it is likely that the handset will remain within the top 3, assuming it finally slides down from the top spot, notes the GSM Arena.
Coming in at second on the list is its companion phone, the Samsung Galaxy J5, which was also released by the Korean tech giant along with the Samsung Galaxy J7 in June.
The Sony Xperia Z5 comes in at third, just ahead of the Samsung Galaxy J2 and the OnePlus smartphone (both One and Two). For those who are wondering about the status of the two biggest flagship handsets this year, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is at the eighth spot while the Apple iPhone 6S holds the 10th spot.
Cannot go wrong with the Galaxy J7
Although it is a midrange smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy J7 does not come cheap. But it certainly offers features and specifications that are certainly worth more than its retail price.
Users certainly cannot go wrong with the Galaxy J7 and it has the best battery life among smartphones in the market today.
It has a display that is big enough for consuming media, reading, browsing, and social networking, as well as double the storage than that of the Galaxy J5.
It also comes at a time when features like removable batteries and expandable storage are being set aside in favor of elegant metal designs. The Galaxy J7 is one of the few decent Samsung smartphones that consumers will find in the market that sets out to please everyone and manages to do just that, notes Tech Weez.
As for the downsides, when Samsung released the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5, both have been positioned as 4G LTE smartphones but it turned out, both smartphones have variants that do not support LTE, which is a disappointment to a good number of users.
Eventually, some consumers realized that the Galaxy J7 model that runs on the Exynos 7580 processor is not LTE-capable and the variant that features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 is the one that has LTE connectivity.
Restoring consumer confidence
The Samsung Galaxy J7 midrange smartphone is regarded as one of the best in the market now. More than its affordability, the device has actually brought back the confidence of midrange smartphone users to Samsung.
Given its high-end technical features and capabilities, the Galaxy J7 is actually a great smartphone that comes with a reasonable price.
While some critics and users are trying to compare it to the more expensive Galaxy E7, the Galaxy J7 has unique features that make it truly stand out.
In fact, for its price range and features, it is certainly the best in its category. The good news for users is that the Galaxy J7 is from Samsung so they can be sure of the quality. For its great features and classy look at its relatively bargain price, it is quite a real investment too
The smartphone is also drawing rave reviews for its generous and removable 3,000 mAH battery, something that was missing from the high-end flagship smartphones of Samsung. Unlike other smartphones, it also does not have over-heating problems.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 is a stunning handset that features a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen that has a 720 x 1280 resolution and pixel density of 267 ppi that combine to make it look better and brighter. Given its huge display, the smartphone has become suited for playing games, taking pictures, watching videos, in addition to its usual function as a communication device first and foremost.
The midrange handset is powered by a 64-bit octa core processor. It is one of the latest smartphones of today that puts more focus on the screen size rather than the resolution.
