The Samsung Galaxy J7 is a larger variant of the mid-range Samsung Galaxy J5. The device sports a similar form factor as the J5, but comes with an upgraded processor and a bigger screen while keeping the rest of the specs unchanged. The device has all plastic build. It measures 152.2 x 78.7 x 7.5mm and weighs 171 grams. The J7 is available in the same colour options as the J5, Black and White.

The smartphone comes with a 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with HD (1280x720 pixels) resolution which translates to 267 PPI, which is not bad but also not class-leading. Though the display size has been upgraded, the resolution hasn’t been made full HD and hence has a lesser pixel density than the Galaxy J5. This could mean lower display quality in this device. The main disadvantage though is the device is missing any kind of protection to the display. The device features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and autofocus to ensure you capture the perfect shot in every lighting condition. The camera can capture videos in full-HD resolution at 30fps. The image quality is good in daylight, and average during low-light conditions. On the front of the device is a 5-megapixel secondary camera which can be used to make video calls and capture selfies. Many selfie enhancing features like beauty shot and wide selfie, etc have been included.

The phone comes with Android 5.1 Lollipop which is upgradable to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The software is customised by Samsung’s own TouchWiz UI. At the heart of the device is a very rare Marvel PXA1936 chipset which comes with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. The processor is paired with 1.5GB of RAM to ensure smooth multi-tasking performance. On the storage front, the device comes with 16GB of storage space which should be more than enough for most users. However if you are looking to expand further, a microSD card can be used to expand the memory up to 128 GB.

The device conceals a 3,000mAh battery which has enough juice to keep it running throughout the day with moderate to heavy usage. The device is rated to provide 18 hours of talk time on 3G network according to Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy J7 comes with a wide variety of connectivity options allowing the phone to be always connected at blazing fast speeds. It is a 4G LTE enabled smartphone and has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, mircoUSB 2.0 and Bluetooth 4.0.  Also, the device has dual SIM functionality with dual stand-by which is essential for indian consumers.
