The mid-range smartphones Samsung Galaxy J7 and Galaxy J5 were released in June and so far, the favorable reviews that the two handsets have been getting are enough to make the Korean tech giant feel vindicated once again.
After three consecutive quarters of falling revenues last year, the first for the company’s smartphone business, Samsung has made a major turnaround this year with the successful launching of its high-end flagship smartphones – the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge – in March this year.
With the high-end smartphone segment already secured, Samsung made a good follow up with the release of the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5 some three months later. The follow-up release made many players in the mid-range smartphone segment a bit wary because it is obvious that Samsung is back in the competition and it means business too.
Samsung has been known before to deluge the market with plenty of smartphone models. But the Korean tech company has refined itself over the years. Instead of merely dropping handset models after models just to give the competition plenty to contend with coming from its end, Samsung has become more discerning with its product offerings.
Unlike before when much of its smartphone models are being released to the markets rather haphazardly with the intention of capitalizing on the entire spectrum of consumers, these days, Samsung is more concerned with quality.
It has evidently shown its new thrust with the launching last March of its high-end flagship smartphones before following it up with the two superb mid-range handsets in June.
Bringing back confidence of mid-range smartphone users
The Samsung Galaxy J7 mid-range 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 mid-range 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, cites Neurogadget.
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, a feature that no longer exists from the high-end flagship smartphones of Samsung. Unlike other smartphones, it also does not have over-heating problems, notes NDTV Gadgets.
A stunning handset
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 making 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 mid-range 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.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 comes in two models – one is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and the other by an Exynos 7580. Both came out of the box with Android 5.1 Lollipop on it.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 comes with a 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage with an option for expansion of up to 128GB through a microSD card slot.
While the high-end variants of the Samsung smartphones have started doing away with the external memory card support altogether, the Samsung Galaxy J7 maintained the classic feature which many users still prefer.
