Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro specifications
The Galaxy C7 Pro is available in Navy Blue and Gold color options and comes with a 5.7-inch full HD (1920x1080p) Super AMOLED display. It is powered by a Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHx along with Adreno 506 GPU. The handset packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card.
Targeted at the selfie-loving crowd, the Galaxy C7 Pro comes with a 16MP front-facing camera with f/1.9 aperture and a 16MP camera on the back. Both the cameras can record full HD videos at 30fps.
Other specifications include a fingerprint sensor which is embedded in the physical home button at the front, Android 7.0 Nougat-based Samsung Experience UI, USB Type-C connectivity and a 3,300 mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

Is the Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro worth buying at the new price?
Despite the price cut, the Galaxy C7 Pro still seems a bit overpriced. There are several other smartphones available in the market right now which offer bigger displays (6-inch and more) with the new 18:9 aspect ratio. The recently launched Oppo F7 and Vivo V9 offer an iPhone X-like bezel-less design and are priced at Rs 21,990 and Rs 22,990 respectively.
Also, there are better-equipped offerings which are priced significantly lower than the Galaxy C7 Pro. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro offers dual rear cameras, a 5.99-inch Full HD+ (2160x1080p) display, an upgraded Snapdragon 636 SoC and a 20MP selfie camera at Rs 13,999. The Galaxy C7 Pro is for those who want to buy a Samsung smartphone just for the brand value, otherwise, there are many better alternatives available at the same price and lower.
