The Samsung Galaxy J7 is not a flagship, and it’s been out on the market for some time already but it’s mostly stayed under the radar as people have been focused on other phones, including by Samsung themselves. The company is obviously trying to gain as much market presence as possible and they’ve been working hard to make sure that people are paying attention to them from all sides of the market, and the release of this phone is a clear indication of that. However, they could probably use a little more marketing when it comes to these releases, as people need to hear more about the J7 and similar phones.
Its popularity in India has still been relatively good for what it offers, but many critics seem to have the opinion that the phone could do a lot better, and it has the potential to reach a lot more people if Samsung handle its promotion carefully. It has some especially good features for those looking for a little more gaming action at a lower price, and Samsung have obviously been putting a lot of thought into the overall configuration of features despite the relatively low price tag of the phone.
It also comes with Android 5.1.1, another feature that quickly drew attention from many people who have been eager to get on a newer version of the operating system without having to pay for a more expensive device. Samsung are generally known to have some issues maintaining the updates of their devices and they are often behind the current trends in Android releases, but the company should still be able to handle the J7 relatively well if they want to keep it running a relatively good release of Android on a regular basis. A device like this obviously doesn’t need Marshmallow right now, but it can still handle some of the previous versions of the OS just fine.
It’s also far from underpowered for the kind of device it’s supposed to be, with a 64-bit processor clocked at 1.4 GHz in half of its cores and 1 GHz in the other half, and it also comes with various additional features that make it deliver excellent performance, better than what people would expect from a phone with a price like that.
For a sub-$200 phone, the Galaxy J7 is not a bad deal at all, and while it’s obviously not going to capture the whole market, it’s aimed at helping people from lower market segments get more accustomed to Samsung with a wider variety of offers, and the phone does this job just fine. They have already been putting a lot of work into expanding the Galaxy line and making it more attractive to people from different market segments, and it looks like the company is going to put even more effort into that going down the road. We’re curious to see where this would all end up.
In the meantime, those looking for a good Android phone with Samsung’s own special features for a relatively low price should look no further – for those who have the phone available in their region, this is a fantastic deal and something they should definitely not overlook. Even those who care about their performance more than the average user are going to find themselves interested in the phone if they pay close attention to its features, and Samsung have definitely created something interesting with the J7.
