The smartphone jungle can be confusing, but the Samsung Galaxy J7 is surprisingly easy to decipher: J for “affordable price” and 7 for “big screen”. This is the lite version of the Galaxy A7, offering semi-premium features but confined to the mid range. Another way to look at it is as an E7 Plus. The attention-grabbing features start at the 5.5″ Super AMOLED screen (Samsung’s latest units have all had accurate colors and great sunlight legibility). There’s also a 64-bit octa-core processor, a selfie camera with a dedicated LED flash and a main camera with a wide f/1.9 aperture and Pro mode. Samsung Galaxy J7 is one of those phones that care more about the size of the screen than its resolution and so it settles for 720p. The difference to Galaxy A7’s 1080p screen is for the most part cosmetic but the practical difference is quite big – you get 20% more space for apps and web pages on the A7. The main camera of Samsung Galaxy J7 is a 13MP unit – a pretty standard choice for the midrange – but the f/1.9 aperture elevates it above average and will make a difference at low-light scenes. The J7 is well-equipped for low-light selfies too, with a dedicated LED flash to help the 5MP front-facer. Samsung Galaxy J7 comes with one of two distinct chipset models – Snapdragon 615 in some regions, Exynos 7580 in others. Both versions run Android 5.1 Lollipop on 1.5GB RAM (a bit of a tight fit), but the Exynos has a CPU clock advantage. The Galaxy J7 is a dual-SIM phone, Samsung didn’t bother with a single-SIM version. No huge loss if you ask us, unlike the A-series this one has separate slots for two SIMs and a microSD. Fast LTE data can be used on either card, making the J7 practical for travel or getting the most out of two data plans.
