The Samsung Galaxy J7 is also a cheaper version of the Samsung Galaxy E7, but it retained some of the high-end or topnotch specifications of those other more expensive handsets from Samsung.
Despite the usual criticisms from some critics, the Galaxy J7 is a stunning handset. It is one of the latest smartphones of today that puts more focus on the screen size rather than the resolution. It has a 720-pixel screen resolution.
The 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. While Samsung has yet to make an announcement about it, but it looks like the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5 can also be upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow when the updates officially come to Samsung devices early next year.
What the Samsung Galaxy J7 lack in design and aesthetics, it actually made up for in features that the Korean tech giant has been known to deliver on its mobile devices.
Both the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5 look more like every other Galaxy smartphones in the market. They both feature anodized bodies, shiny, cheap-looking faux-metal side bezels, and the same monotonous overall design profile.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 also looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 launched in 2013, whose problem then was that it was too slippery to grasp on the hands.
