Samsung Galaxy J7 Review: Easy to Recommend

By on Email @exolete

Samsung wowed everyone with the pricing and features of the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7. It was as if for the first time the company understood the mid-range segment and decided to focus on the features people wanted. The Galaxy J7 comes with a bright AMOLED display, excellent performance and great battery life. The cameras on the J7 are quite good as well, leading to an excellent all round performer. There are a few things with the build and design we would like changed, but as with most Samsung devices the next iteration is just around the corner.


8.2

The Galaxy J7 is Samsung's answer to the Moto G3 and the growing influence of Chinese vendors in India. It packs a bright display and good cameras with solid battery life and good performance, making it easy to recommend.
